I have had five of these in the last year. All new and they all failed within months.

The first Vivofit 4 that I bought five years ago lasted for a two years. Since then Garmin's quality control seems to have collapsed. I have had approximately twenty of these watches/fitness-trackers in the last three years and they have always failed within months if not weeks. The main reason is the poor quality of the workmanship. The casing that hold the watch/fitness-tracker and battery is made of plastic and held together by four small screws. The casing always cracks around the screws, even before the battery--which is suppose to last for one year--has to be changed. More importantly, I have owned a more expensive Garmin watch-fitness-tracker, but have decide that if Garmin can't get its simple watch-fitness-trackers right, it should not be trusted with its more advanced models. It is a shame as Garmin was once a leader in watch-fitness-trackers, but has not only lost its edge, but now can't seem to produce merchantable products. I hope one day Garmin will be able to win by trust back, but right now Garmin has lost my trust.
