Looks like the screen is on a bit of an angle compared to the band, and very occasionally the LED display looses some pixels. I am on my second one as well. Just got mine swapped over in November and it has been fine since, which is great.Now my wife's one has started to do the same thing. She has had hers a lot longer than I have.looks like the screen display is becoming a funnel. On the left you can see the full letter or number no worries. On the right, you can only see about a quarter of the number.I tried to contact wildfire sports to get warranty and they palmed me off to Garmin as it is over a year old.I contacted Garmin then and they said no worries. they will email me instructions on how to send it back for warranty.New Fit Bit Blaze $330 As already mentioned, that looks like apple territory. What concerns me about these sort of watches, is the battery life. We had the Samsung fit equivalent or what ever it was and it only lasted a day if we were lucky. Any replacement that we will get for the vivosmart, will have to have at least 7 days worth of battery life. it will have to be waterproof as well.GPS tracking will be handy as well. The bluetooth syncing issues needs to be sorted out or else.....all of the data still loads up onto the app properly though?On my wife's phone it loads all the data, assuming that Bluetooth actually works.The Vivosmart has a hard time syncing with the Samsung S5. A Real PITA!!!!I don't have so much problems with my One Plus one.I think everyone has put on a few extra kilos during the holiday season, and why not. We all work hard, its not often we all get to sit around and eat like kings and drink during the festive season. Its called life, enjoy it!But unfortunately its time to draw in our bad eating habits over the past few months, and get back on the horse and cart.I know exactly what you mean. I Hit 98.4kg and not happy at all. I am 174cm so overweight is an understatement right now. OBESE rings a bell.I was watching how much I ate during the festive season and I still put 4kgs on.I should have just not given a f*ck and just ate all I wanted and I might not have put any weight on.Well I signed up to the gym and hit the gym yesterday morning at 6am.will be going again tomorrow morning and on Friday morning.Time to get fit again. No diet on this side, just got to work of the damn calories..... Edited 19/01/16 03:19 AM by masda74 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bluetooth syncing issues needs to be sorted out or else.....As I stated earlier I use the Vivoactive, 50 mtrs waterproof, 4 weeks battery life and GPS. And unlike the Blaze and Apple Watch bands only cost $20 - $40 for replacement. $297 right now @ HN. If you can bargain them down to $270ish you got a great deal. (Cost).

NO PAIN NO GAIN, but I am going to the gym to get fit and loose some weight, not to loook like a body builder.I am struggling at work just to keep up right.....TGIF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fark I hate traveling to Europe and stopping over in Singapore for that reason.It is not the heat, but the humidity that kills me.Then again, next month we will be in Bali for a week and I can't wait............I need a break.

.Stripes. All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 12y 9m Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 16/02/16 02:37 PM Share Posted 16/02/16 02:37 PM How's everyone's progress going? Christmas, Japan and all the crap going on with the ex has seen me balloon out to 94kg as of this morning ? Need to really get this under control! My plan so far is I've got 3 weeks in Broome booked to smash the Optifast and hit the gym at least once a day the whole time I'm up there. Planning to hit the Optifast hard this week up at work too and try squeeze in as much squash as I can. Want to get back down to the 78kg mark I got to mid last year as I was pretty happy at that point. Actually went and bought another Vivosmart and chestHR bundles yesterday. I've been getting really lazy since not having one so I felt it would be good to start tracking everything again, which I'm hoping will help bump up my motivation and drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
