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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

In general, an excellent product as an understudy of smartphone functions and an assistant for amateur training. If you do not keep track of the number of steps and floors taken per day, but use the watch as a recorder of training parameters, then this is a very good choice. : Spotify playlists will download better if you bring the watch closer to the Wi-Fi router. In this case, the battery is severely discharged.

Pros
  • Stylish, comfortable, excellent pairing, breaks through several rooms, GPS is lying quite a bit. There is a connection with the country, in general, for an easy moderate run, that's it. I checked the calculation of the distance at the stadium - very accurately, it feels like up to a meter. Garmin Pay works without question, notifications come to everyone.
Cons
  • Heart rate monitor (not at rest), pedometer, floor counting do not actually work. The fact that the norm for the floors has been met can be notified right during the run. I would generally remove this functionality if it works so poorly. Clumsy Wi-Fi, it is impossible to control the player during training. It takes a very long time to download a playlist from a streaming service, it’s easier to transfer it first to a computer, and then to a watch. Once it was that the training was saved on the watch and did not go to the phone for viewing when paired. the problem was solved by connecting to Garmin Express, in other cases it is immediately copied via bluetooth without additional steps. The stock strap begins to rub after a few days, I wear it because it is beautiful. If you pair the watch with the phone through the clock, then you can wait five minutes. But, in general, these are such shortcomings that explain why the watch is not perfect.
