Just a word of warning: Today is the FINAL giveaway in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas, but make sure you've entered all of the active giveaways. I would hate for you to miss out. Also, some of the entries are available daily (ie tweeting about the specific giveaway, pinning a picture on Pinterest, etc), so if it is an item you are super stoked on, I’d recommend entering as many times as possible.
Day 12 - 1 Garmin vívoactive Smartwatch
Okay, okay, so I get a LOT of questions from folks who see me wearing TWO Garmin bands... "Why do you wear two?" "What do each of them do?" "Does your arm get tired?" I rock both the vívofit 2 and Forerunner 220 - both for different reasons.
I wear the vívofit 2 ALL DAY, ERR DAY! This is my activity tracker. It tracks my steps, watches me sleep (okay, that sounded creepy, more like it feels me sleep... okay, maybe even creepier... it records my sleep patterns), keeps me moving throughout the day with its inactivity alert, etc. [PS I have a review of it here if you're interested.]
The Forerunner 220 is my GPS watch. It gives me all the data on my workouts that I would ever want (and then some!). It shows me my distance, pace, time, etc. I upgraded to the 220 from the 110 and have fallen in love (although, honestly, I wish it came in another color other than purple, since that isn't my jam, but hey, beggars can't be choosers). It syncs with my Garmin Connect Mobile app and I am able to check out my stats from my run as soon as I finish.
Well, Garmin, being the amazingly awesome and smart company that they are, realized I probably didn't need to be rocking TWO watches... and the hybrid vívoactive Smartwatch was born. Okay, maybe it had nothing to do with me, but I'd like to think they had my wrist in mind when this brain child was born.
Not only does the vívoactive Smartwatch meld together a GPS watch and an activity tracker into one, but it also has features of those new, fan-dangled smart watches! You know, like you can control your music on your wrist, it informs you with incoming calls/ texts/ emails/ calendar items, will alert you of your social media notifications, etc. I mean, it's pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC if you ask me!
And, as a Garmin Ambassador I was gifted one of them, how amazing is that?! Well, even more amazing is the fact that I am slightly scared by new technology and decided I would like to offer it to YOU!

PS It's the same vívofit 2 in all of the photos, I just have different bands that I swap out based on my outfit and feelings ;) |

I have a Nike+ sports watch that I wear. I've had it for a few years now and for the most part I like it.
I wear an Apple Watch! It does a good job of counting steps and calories and things like that, but it's difficult to pause when running.
I wear the Garmin to track my pace, miles, and heart rate. But I would love to get an activity tracker!!

I wear a fitbit, but I've been dying to get a GPS watch!

I run with a Garmin Forerunner 220 which is three years old and starting to malfunction a bit. I too wish it wasn't purple! I don't wear an activity tracker because I didn't want to wear two devices when I run. A new device could solve this!
I just got my first Garmin for marathon training, I have the Garmin 15 and really like it!

Yes please! I'd love to upgrade!!
I wear a fitbit, but this smartwatch would do an amazing job of keeping track of my activities!
Yes! I wear the vivoactive.
I wear a fit bit
I have the Samsung Gear Fit and I love it for the activity tracker and smart watch capabilities. I use an app on my phone for Gps though. It would be pretty nifty to get one device for all of it
No, I don't have a watch, I'd love to get one!
I have been in the market for the perfect GPS tracker as I don't always want to use my phone as it drains my battery. I am just too indecisive and frugal that I don't want to spend the money to invest unless I am 100% positive it will function how I want it to function. Because of reading your blog and other running blogs, I have noticed Garmin to be a popular brand and I would love to try it out.
Currently I wear my fitbitOne and I love it. I wanted one that I could hook onto my bra and not have on my wrist but it does all the functions of the others, even monitors my sleep patterns when I wear it in the wrist band, that's included, at night.
I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to be gifted this GPS smart watch as I would like to get more serious with my running.
Would love to rock this watch!
Please pick me! I've always used a phone app and would love to upgrade to a garmin.
Right now I just wear a fitbit.
I wear a Garmin Vivosmart and when I run I use a Nike+ GPS watch. What an awesome giveaway!
I wear a Fitbit Charge and have not had a Garmin in a while. I use Strava. I got a FOrerunner 15 for heart rate. I would love to have an all in one. In fact, I may put it on my holiday list!
I wear a Garmin Forerunner but would love to upgrade to the vívoactive Smartwatch. My oldest son started running cross country this past season and I would love to pass along my old watch to him for training. He's 12 and seems to enjoy running, well he doesn't complain. Since cross country ended I signed him up for 3-4 5K's a month. He PR'd on Thanksgiving day by over 2 minutes. Next year I have a feeling I'll be watching his backside during the race!
I wear a garmin watch and fitbit tracker! Would love to have it be one in the same!
I wear a fitbit surge but love the look of the vivoactive so much more!
I wear a Fitbit and a garmin forerunner 220 when I run. For the same reasons you do. My Fitbit I wear all the time.
I have a Fitbit and a Garmin 225.
I currently use a GPS watch that I'm "eh" happy with, it takes a while to link the GPS which can be a real pain when you are on the start line and it's still thinking! I've been interested in an activity tracker for some time.. to win either of these would be SUPER AWESOME! I have a number of friends with Garmin products, wish I'd done more homework before making my first investment. I'd be THRILLED to WIN :)
This would be the best Christmas present ever. I have always always always wanted a running watch.
I wore a jawbone, but would love to make a jump to something with GPS capability and an easier information than logging into an app to see your step count
yes I currently wear a fitbit
Don't have a GPS watch but would love to bump it up. Current wear my Fitbit all the time.
I rock my Garmin Forerunner 220 on runs and wear a fitbit to track my steps.
I have a Garmin 110 and a fitbit charge.
I was recently gifted a used Garmin Forerunner 10...which is the most basic of the basic. I love that I can now see my pace and time but it doesn't give me much more. I also have a Fitbit Charge HR to help me with the everyday steps and such but having an all in one would be amazing!
Always wearing the Garmin Viofit and TomTom MultiSport!
I would absolutely love to have a Garmin watch!
Oh my goodness, this would be Ah. Maz. zing!!!!

I've had bad luck with fitness trackers and would love this one! Currently I use the Nike+ GPS watch when I run.
I don't have a GPS watch or activity tracker.
I wear my Garmin 310 XT when running, but I've been hemming and hawing over the vivo fit for a while now!
I wear both, a GPS tracker as well as an activity tracker. I have the Garmin forerunner 10 and a fitbit charge hr. I love both of them but I need an upgrade!!
I have a Fitbit One that I wear daily. I need a GPS watch though for my running!
I've been looking at this watch for awhile. It's on my Christmas list!
I would LOVE one of these. I have a fitbit that's currently broken and a Garmin 220. A couple of friends of mine have the VivoActive and I'm SO jealous. They've raved about the battery life and the fact that it combines fitness tracking and GPS tracking into one device is just awesome. Thank you so much for this generous giveaway! Merry Christmas!
I wear a Garmin but not an activity tracker--would love one!

I absolutely LOVE my Garmin vivofit as an activity tracker and my forerunner 15 as a GPS watch, but seriously i would die for this watch!!! :)

I have always wanted a Garmin, it seems like the perfect do all watch/tracker/GPS it is some important on runs! I am currently trying a polar tracker but it doesn't have HR, and that scares me a little, with a heart murmur. I would love to have everything all in one place and since I have used Garmin products for my vehicle I trust them.
