Far better than the vivoactive 3
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This is my third Garmin smartwatch and by far my favorite. The things I like about the watch above the vivoactive 3 are: 1. the band is wider and more comfortable 2. better battery life 3. larger screen (non S version) 4. added biking features like support of the rear radar 5. pulse oximeter 6. swipe shortcut to a widget 7. two buttons for more obvious operation 8. it charges very quickly Overall this was a good upgrade. I like the size of the watch, I have relatively small wrists, but the full-sized version fits nicely on my wrist. I wear this watch virtually 24x7 except for showers and while charging. I find this band to be particularly comfortable for that round-the-clock use.

Garmin - Vívoactive 4 GPS Smartwatch
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Garmin, a quality brand you can trust. It's a 33mm fiber-reinforced polymer and silicone band. Come slated with a black case. Overall, this smartwatch is pretty good for those who do a lot of activities. Designed for those who likes to work out a lot. There are so many activities- swimming, biking, running, etc. Also, keep tracks of your heart rate, stress rate, etc.

Garmin Excellent value for the $...SAMSUNG not SO
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Excellent value for the $ I replaced my VivoActive3 with the VivoActive4 at the start of the new year (2022) & I am extremely pleased with the Garmin VivoActive4. I like the larger watch face, the added music storage capabilities and the PO2 features ALOT with the same GARMIN reliability and support I have become accustomed to from Garmin products ( I own a number of them) I have also used the Samsung Start watch product offerings over the years however I found Samsung's customer service POOR and their product offerings to be problematic. AS a result, I went back to GARMIN for their product reliability and support and corrected my "SAMJUNK" mistake. Pictures shown are the same VivoActive4 with the FOSSIL Gunmetal Mesh Watch Band & Fossil Brown Leather band for dress up, Fossil's Green stripped & Orange stripped Silicone Bands and the original solid black Garmin band ALL with the ability to quickly change bands makes my VivoActive4 the watch for ALL occasions.

Great Fitness tracker
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This watch does a great job tracking heart rate, breathing, steps, calories and stress. Holds a good charge for 4-5 days or activity. Fits great and doesn't affect my skin like some other trackers have.

solid gps, shaky swim results
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I bought this device based on reviews I'd seen on YouTube. My hope was that this watch was going to be my 24-hour fitness tracker. My main exercises consist of hiking, swimming, and weight lifting at the gym. After a month with it on, I can say that this watch has an amazing GPS tracker. I use it to track how long and far I hike all the time and it really does help motivate me to continue to exercise the next day. I also enjoy seeing the breakdown of my sleep and how many calories I burn actively and passively in the day. Sadly, the same consistency with performance cannot be said with its swim tracker. It simply does not accurately keep track of how many laps I put in and I end up having to just keep count in my head. The watch is waterproof but it's still kind of a bummer that one of its "supposed competitive advantages" over the acclaimed apple smartwatch is that it had a better swimming function....and that turned out to be a dud. Overall, if you want a watch that just works to keep track of everything except for swimming laps and you don't mind charging it every 2 days, then this watch is for you.

Garmin Watch Review
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I got this for my son for Christmas! He loves it and he’s amazed at how smart the watch actually is! It keeps up with his light/deep/rem sleep patterns. It keeps up with his stress levels and his steps. He can control his music as well. I could not have chosen a better watch for him! Thanks BestBuy for a decent price and super fast shipping. I definitely recommend this product.

Captures & Displays What I Need
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This fitness tracker captures all the measurements I want and is watertight. I really couldn't ask for anything more from it. Be aware: battery life is 5 - 6 days and the watch is rather large. If you have a smaller wrist or hand you might want to get the Vivoactive 4S, which is a little smaller.

Garmin Vivoactive 4 Smartwatch In-Depth ReviewIt's been about 5 months since Garmin first introduced the Vivoactive 4 series (alongside the Garmin Venu). Both watches, screen aside, are nearly identical. And in that time Garmin has also introduced a number of themed Vivoactive 4 variants
