one of the things I have had for an almost two years is my Garmin watch. At the time I Started to get more into my fitness and I was taking the steps towards keeping track of how I was doing. SO I made the decision to wait for black Friday, and then go and purchase a watch. Now I have never owned a watch for a long period of time. It’s mostly because when I take the watch off it never gets back on my wrist. I forget it exists, or it’s too big or just in general a pain in the butt so I always leave it behind at some point and time. 

So one of the things that I looked for in a watch was it being waterproof. I didn’t want any excuse to have to take it off and I didn’t want to be one of those people who spent $100 or more on a watch and then never use it after the first week. I wanted to make sure that if I was going to purchase something so expensive that it was going to stay on my wrist and that it was going to be able to survive my lifestyle. So I went on Garmin and spent hours looking at all the watches. I read all the things they could do, all the activities they have, and of course how much they can be dunked into the water. 

I came to the conclusion that the vivoactive was the best choice for what I needed and it was the right price for someone who really didn’t want to spend any more than $200. So I waited for black Friday and once it rolled around I bought the vivoactive on Amazon for a really nice price. Ever since then I have never turned back. The watch is a decent size, the strap is comfortable, it lasts almost an entire week on full battery and that’s with me using it for running three times a week. 

I can't begin to tell you how helpful it is with helping my lifestyle. It lets me know my patterns, it helps me keep track of my running and how I am doing, and it tells me how I am sleeping. Not only that but the band lasted almost two years before I had to get a new one and that’s with my constantly wearing it. 

If you want a watch that is durable, reliable, and simplistic then I definitely recommend the vivoactive. 10/10 for me
