Review on Garmin 010-02174-01 Vivoactive 4: GPS Smartwatch with Music, Body Energy Monitoring, and More by Indal Mandal ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

It must be understood that the device will have a finite lifespan. And if $400 for a couple of years seems reasonable, what about the Fenix ​​series, for example? I thought about replacing it with the Fenix ​​6X Saphire, but decided against it due to fears of the same battery problem. Therefore, I switched to the Forerunner series as an experiment, it will not be so offensive, if anything.

Pros
  • Great smart watch with sleep and exercise tracking features. In over two years of use, there were no complaints. Running, swimming in the pool, notifications are all good.
Cons
  • Don't believe Gorilla Glass's durability claims - scratches easily, best used with tempered glass. The bezel is not scratched, but the paint peels off it. After two years, the battery rapidly (within a week) degraded, the watch stopped turning on. I was surprised to learn that the battery cannot be changed in Garmin, you need to buy a new device.
