Review on πŸ•’ Garmin Vivoactive 4S GPS Smartwatch: Music, Fitness Tracking, Health Monitoring (Black/Slate) 010-02172-11 4 S Bundle + Support Extension by Wiktor Franko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

There were just fitness bracelets before the first smart watch. In general, the expense is not justified as an upgrade for x5. Attracted by the brand recognition and fitness benefits. The watch is not awful for a casual person like myself, but it seems like you can get the same thing for less money. Baratea is normal, stable for three days, with an hour of GPS training, a pulse oximeter worn while sleeping, and smartphone synchronization. 10% are still present by the third day's nightfall. Although it has been a habit to charge on the third day when 25–40% are left before bed. It appears like the non-S version lasts a tiny bit longer. With all the repercussions, an optical heart rate monitor. No reaction to peaks; only appropriate for roughly measured cardio. All optical heart rate monitors are impacted by this if you are sprinting or working at a high heart rate (160 or higher). There are several conveniences available, such as player control, but I didn't download any music from my phone while the clock was running. It is still unclear how BodyBattery and stress levels function. Monitoring hydration (amount of fluid consumed) using the widget, experimented with, and rated in a week. For me, this is already too much "sportsmen" I compared using a smartphone (google fit), a watch, and an external GPS while walking six kilometers. Results: 5.98km using an external GPS, no pedometer 5.82km, 7985 steps with a Garmin Vivoactive 4s (tracking began after about 100m) Google Fit (Xiaomi Mi9): 6.08 kilometers and 8137 steps Make your own decisions and think for yourself. But I'm fine with a 3% error. It would be fascinating to contrast it with a different low-cost item, like MiBand. After cycling and using in the woodlands in the spring, I'll add to the review.

Pros
  • A good screen, everything is visible when I use very little illumination. It turned out to be really practical to use GarminPay. Pretty accurate GPS, with deviations on the path in the city of 5-8m if you ignore development issues. + - accurate pedometer, with phantom steps in place from hand shaking, although the difference from an external pedometer is only approximately 3-5%. Garmin services, several activity trackers, workout routines, statistics, etc. ability to connect extra sensors, such as a cadence sensor or heart rate monitor.
Cons
  • The ineffectiveness of sleep monitoring is a widespread issue. The clock continually assumes that I will go asleep if I simply sit at the table, fails to recognize when I awaken when I begin to move, and may experience spontaneous "waking" throughout the night. The application is pretty illogical and poorly constructed; some elements (such as grouping, lists, and graphs) are already obviously out of date and competitors' products appear superior. GPS spends a lot of time looking for satellites.
