Summary of the review
Hands on with the new Garmin Vivofit & Vivoki Activity Monitors

Third-party reviews

What we like about Garmin vívokí

  • Ideal for tracking steps in environments where a traditional watch cannot be worn (e.g., professional or clinical settings)
  • Compact and discreet clip-on design
  • Integrates seamlessly with the Garmin Connect ecosystem and corporate wellness programs
  • Can store up to 4 weeks of activity data before needing a sync
  • Uses both Bluetooth Smart for phone syncing and ANT+ for wireless access points

What we don't like about Garmin vívokí

  • Rubber housing material has been reported to break down over time, especially in wet or high-use environments
  • Frequent reports of the device 'running through batteries' quickly
  • Lacks the ability to track elevation or stairs climbed
  • Easy to lose due to its small size and clip-on nature
  • Limited availability for individual purchase as it was primarily designed for corporate wellness groups

Verdict

The Garmin vívokí is a compact, clip-on activity tracker specifically engineered for corporate wellness programs to monitor daily movement without the need for a wrist-worn device. Its technical specifications include a water resistance rating of 1 ATM (10 meters), a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery lasting up to 6 months, and both ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart connectivity for wireless data syncing. The device primarily tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and activity intensity, displaying progress toward a personalized daily goal through five integrated LED lights. Main pros include its versatile wearing options—clipping to a torso, waist, or slipping into a pocket—and its extremely long battery life compared to rechargeable trackers. However, notable cons include the lack of an LCD screen for detailed real-time data, the absence of an altimeter for tracking stairs or elevation, and reports of the rubber housing potentially breaking down in harsh or wet environments.
