Nice light fitness tracker that does everything I want
- Light, don't feel it on the wrist
- Quickly connect to my iPhone for GPS
- Accurate Heart Rate Monitor
- Sometimes a bit clumsy to bring up the right menu
Tracks everything I want. Light and small. Nice screen. Personally, I like a black and white screen. Have done almost 4 years with the vivosmart 4 it still works. My partner wears it now. The Vivosmart 5 has just a little more screen surface and reacts just a little faster.

Failed update or incorrect update..
- Small handy model
- Synchronization problems after update
Worked fine for a few days, but after updating the device to version 9.xx no more synchronization. Total reset, seemed to work well then, but after training the next day no more sync, circle in the Connect app hangs on a third. Device does have a connection because heart rate etc does work in the app. Sent back.
