Q: GPS- can track location of person wearing?
A: I'm not sure if you're asking if a third party can track the location of the wearer or if the watch can track the GPS location of the wear while in use. I can say that it can and does track my walks/hikes/rides.
Q: Music?
A: Music is played thru your phone's app. I use Google Music, Spotify, and Pandora. The watch, when paired to your phone thru the Garmin Connect app will skip songs, repeat songs, pause/stop songs, volume control....like a remote control.
Q: Where is the port to charge the garmin vivoactive smartwatch?
A: Mike, the vívoactive comes with a Charging Data Cradle which clips on the back of the unit. The cord itself is USB, therefore you can connect it to the computer via USB or use a Garmin AC adapter to connect to the wall. Best regards. ~QKO
Q: Where can you buy replacement straps?
A: Currently, the strap for the vívoactive is available in one size. Third party strap use is not recommended or supported by Garmin. At your discretion, should you choose to use a third party band, please ensure proper fitment as to not lose or damage your vívoactive. ^DK
Q: DO YOU NEED A HEART RATE MONITOR STRAP?
A: This does track heart rate if you get the Heart Rate Monitor strap. See: http://sites.garmin.com/en-US/vivo/vivoactive/
Q: What does "(unlocked)" mean in the main title?
A: Unlocked means that it can be used with any mobile wireless carrier.
A: What I have found is the watch is very dependent on communications with the phone. If you have not sync'd in a day and try to use the GPS it behaves unreliably. I have found that I need to sync before I use the GPS, and if I have not recently sync'd, (a day or more) sometimes this requires me to reboot the watch. I have never used the watch and had to run with my phone; the GPS has worked perfectly every time as long as you have sync'd within a reasonable amount of time.
A: Just download the course details to your phone through the mobile app. When you open the golf function on the watch it will ask to confirm the course you are at. There is a built in score card and you can track your shot distances with the touch of a button. It is actually quite easy, I had it down after the first two holes.
