Review on πŸ”‹ Garmin Vivoactive 4 GPS Smartwatch: Music, Body Energy Monitoring, Animated Workouts, Pulse Ox Sensors, and More – Black by Clinton Delgado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaced my Vivoactive 3 and wasn't happy

My Vivoactive 3 had poor battery life and had constant sync issues (stupid!). I liked the watch and all they did was look at the new watch when I saw it was smaller (and I really wish the watch was smaller) and the ability to play music. I made a purchase. I'm not that impressed. The battery life has really improved, and the screen itself is better with its ugly edges. But they made it a lot "thicker," meaning it sticks out more than my wrist. So I swapped out the large dial for a much larger watch. Although the group is smaller, this is a plus. Another really annoying thing that I hated about the FIT BIT is that the heart rate monitor sticks out more. It has a bulge that digs into my arm, making it a lot more uncomfortable. That's why I loved my old one so much, he wasn't raised. I wish Garmin hadn't done that, I've looked at a lot of watches and realized that's why I hate this watch. If I had known that, I would not have bought new ones. If you're picky like me, this is a deal breaker. The color is ok, I had to wait for the white to be available. Pink ehhhh doesn't do red skinned freckles and I also don't like gold but that was my fault. A bit annoying NOW. What's up with the Garmin app?! I bought this new watch (stupidly) thinking it would solve the sync issues I was having. My last watch was badly damaged and attacked several times by my Aussies so I figured it was my fault. Not wrong. Garmin is having a serious problem with the iPhone app syncing all data from my watch. I have to log in every time I open the app and reset the clock every time. For the first month I just thought ok they will fix it, I contacted Garmin and they explained that it was a new iPhone update that was causing problems and they would fix it. 3.4.5. updated later. It still won't work. I'm a very big fan of Gramin products, but I'm starting to lose faith in them.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Weight
