Garmin Vívoactive Smaller Sized Smartwatch Monitoring Review

Min returned and received an Apple Watch. Downloading music and interacting with other apps wasn't easy. Health and training monitoring was amazing. Battery life was also poor at only around 12 hours.

This watch has been 'updated' had smudges and scuffs, came in a plastic bag, was bought for her wife and she doesn't care about smudges and scuffs and wanted to keep it Normally I would send it back. Be careful when ordering this "upgrade".

After years of faithful service and abuse, my Garmin Vivoactive HR finally broke where the key fob attaches to the strap. I do a lot of outdoor work and mountain biking, so I don't blame him for the failure. I was surprised how much I missed this watch. I finally broke down and bought this version 4 and I can't believe how good it is. I always turned on the O2 sensor to see how it affects my daily activities and training. I think this is a nicer watch.

I'm very happy with my Vivoactive 4. I've thought about smartwatches for a long time, but they all seemed overloaded with features that I don't need on my wrist (I wear my phone always with me), poor battery life (who needs daily charging?), or too small for actual use. Imagine the Vivoactive 4. Five days of battery life, a 45mm screen, a wide range of apps to customize exactly the information I need on my wrist, interact with my phone enough so I don't miss important calls, texts or…

I bought a refurbished Vivoactive 4 watch after considering the Vivoactive 3 and Vivoactive 4S. I'm very happy with the slightly larger screen, and I have a PulseOx that I rarely use, but I like having that option. The condition of mine is indistinguishable from a new watch. The built-in hiking and biking apps are more than good, but I figured out pretty quickly how to add and customize data fields to my liking. It's also great to be able to record each route and share it with yourself or…

Pros: Very nice and not pushy. I can sleep with him and the group doesn't bother me. I'm a substance abuse counselor and I love the 15 minute meditation feature! The stress tracker has been coming at me MY ENTIRE LIFE telling me to rest and stuff like that, but I can't say I mind. It helps me track my mood more accurately. You can create watch faces with your photos and track various activities. Apparently it's waterproof, swim mode hasn't been tested yet. Everything I expected from my first…

After wearing this fitness watch for a few months I've added a star and concluded that the battery life is now easier has become . work and learn from experience. And I charge it every night when I go to bed and put it back on when I get up in the bathroom at night. Many functions and the app on my phone is a good companion with lots of information. the first refurbished electronic device I bought. I have read all the reviews I could find about this fitness tracker smartwatch. Having thrown…

Update 2. Reduced to 4 stars. The battery life is still okay, but the battery indicator is off. I don't know how else to describe it other than the battery "using" 2% some days and "using" 25% or more other days. Battery life is still around the 6-7 day mark, but readings aren't showing the expected gradual decline. This is perhaps the most annoying problem with watches. All other features continue to work as expected. Currently on day 6 with 26% left. Update 1: The clock still works as…

After I got my Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch I decided to switch to Garmin. I've made a firm decision to remain a regular customer. I saved a lot of money by buying a refurbished one which I will do again. I wouldn't have known it was renewed if I hadn't bought this product myself. It looked and worked perfectly. I like the GPS function. It tracks distance, pace, and heart rate displayed while you run. I love that it counts my steps and that my face is always on even when I'm not exercising. I…

This machine Absolute crap for the price . I'm not sure if I have a broken device or what, but the GPS connection takes 30 minutes to an hour. If you go into a building you will lose signal and it will take forever to reconnect. I have never been so frustrated using hardware that is so poorly designed. You need to install TWO apps on your phone, one for visual fitness and the other. get this, to install watch faces and view apps. The watch keeps asking for permission to get location even if…
