The Vivofit4 is a simple fitness tracker which keep track of your daily steps, calories burnt, sleep patron and estimated distance and boasts a one year battery life. You can also track you runs manually or automatically via the app.
It has a coloured display and you can navigate through the menu by clicking on the button. Only having one button to navigate makes it easy at first but after a bit I found navigation not very user-friendly. In the dark getting the display lit up is not the easiest.
I use a Garmin Forerunner 235 for my running and love it but it is too bulky for day to day use. Using the Vivofit4 in addition to the Forerunner enables to provides a full day of fitness. The Garmin app combines information from both.
Another nice feature of the Vivofit 4 is the “Find your phone”. As a person who misplaces her phone quite often the “find your phone” feature is very handy and not expected for a fitness tracker.
