💪 Garmin Vivosmart 4 Smart Bracelet - Ultimate Fitness Tracking in Sleek Black Design Review

I took vivosmart hr + to replace I do not need GPS, so I took this bracelet. Readability is much better. The functionality is normal - I use a heart rate monitor, steps and distance. The previous bracelet showed a heart rate graph. It is not here, but you can always see it in the application. Minus - a short strap, in hr + fastened on the 5th hole, here on the second. I advise men to take a large size.

I bought it to replace Fitbit Charge3, ​​after suffering with pairing with a phone from Huawei (see my reviews). Vivosmart 4 has the same features as Charge 3 and is its direct competitor. However, it is one and a half times smaller and pairs perfectly with Huawei Nova 2 and Huawei / Honor products in general, which cannot be said about Charge 3, which, judging by the official FitBit forum, only pairs well with iPhone. I was worried after reading the review that the user's strap came off. But…

Weak frame around the screen. I bought it in 2022 in December, almost a year later the frame fell off. The 2022 office of Garmin, of course, refused to do anything about it. The German sent a replacement bracelet without question (the old one sent them by mail). Exactly two years have passed and the frame fell off again. This time the warranty has already expired.

Got pros: More advanced sensors and more information collected and analyzed. With its cons. Short operating time, subject to the activation of all sensors (3-4 days).

To be honest, it's useless for me. Just to vibrate on your hand when notifications come in ?! The phone has a pedometer. The parameters that he collects about the pulse, oxygen in the blood, activity, he does not analyze in any way and does not give advice. Even the Picoos scale app is much nicer in this regard, the scale analyzes several of your parameters and gives valuable advice, you can build muscle mass to ideal parameters, your basal metabolic rate has become excellent, etc. And here…

Garmin deflated and turned into something second-rate. I took the bracelet only because of the brand, but in fact it turned out that Chinese brands are not only three times cheaper, but also ten times more convenient and better. In order: 1. It infuriates that the bracelet is absolutely useless without the Internet. It seems pointless, but the application prohibits bluetooth synchronization without access to the network. That is, you will not see your heart rate or daily charts in the village /

As always, service in 2022 is lame. The strap broke, the device became useless, they do not change it, although the device is under the Garmin warranty. #Garmin #Vivosmart 4
