I've had my Vivofit now for a couple months, off and on I've noticed my wrist itching where the device rests. A couple days ago, after wearing the device during the day, I took the Vivofit off only to find a red mark on the top of my wrist. It was about 1 inch long and 1/2 inch wide, very red, burned, and itched. Anyone else having this issue? It seems similar to the issues of the Fitbit?
I started to wear my vivofit yesterday, and during the night I woke up and felt that my wrist was itching. This morning I noticed some small itching dots at the inside on my wrist and it was not comfortable to wear the band. Not a good start at all.
I have had my Vivofit for 2 months now and this morning I woke up with a rash on my arm where it sits. I removed it and the rash is disappearing. Funny thing is I had a Fitbit Force and wasn't getting a rash but figured I would replace it just in case and now I am getting a rash with the Vivofit!
I have worn my vivofit since I got it (several months now). A few days ago, I noticed that my wrist hurt. I took the vivofit off and found that my wrist is swollen and I also have a rash like irritation (red bumps).
I bet all these rashes are probably caused by an allergy to the material (probably latex/rubber allergy), as that's what they look like. Fitbit is having a recall for this exact reason.
I'd go see a doctor if the symptoms persist. Your GP will probably refer you to an allergist that can determine if this is the case.
zero problems with mine and I've had it since release.
Same. I wear it pretty loose. The only time it comes off is when I switch it for my 910xt or 620 when running or very occasionally my garmin swim when swimming...
I have had mine since June of 2014 wore it no problems until October. I started to have an itch I would take off during showers. This did not help. I got a rash looked more like burn marks red swollen marks under the Vivofit and on side of wrist as well. It almost looks like something leaking from the device. However I see nothing coming from the device. I switched wrists and now this one is starting to itch. Now I donot wear at night. I find this very interesting Is Garmin saying anything about this. I love the product and was looking at Swim and Vivo Smart, will not move forward with that if they are not stepping up and looking at this problem.
