Q: Can use my garmin smart watch in saltwater?
A: Sure, I've had mine in saltwater without issue, it's good to 164 foot. I rinse it off with fresh water after it's been in salt water same as I do all my gear after exposure.
Q: Does it measure heart rate from the wrist band or does it require you wear a chest strap?
A: You have to wear a chest strap (bluetooth based). If it's any consulation, strap based HR tend to be more accurate than LED based HR sensors, but definitely not as comfortable or convenient.
Q: How does it react when wet? as far as the "touch" functions?
A: The Vívoactive is a quite impressive device. I jump in the pool, I get acquainted to the water, then I set up my training and start. Numerous checks during the session, using the back-light button, and never an issue. Basically, the wetness is not an issue with the vívoactive...
Q: How long does the battery lasts before it needs to be replaced?
A: The vívoactive uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. You're correct, it's difficult to predict the lifetime of a rechargeable battery, as this can be affected by so many factors. Rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries will naturally lose some capacity over time, due to charge/discharge cycling. All batteries in devices made by Garmin utilizing Li-ion batteries will share this characteristic. Under normal operating conditions, the batteries in these devices should have approximately 80% of their original capacity after a few years of frequent charge/discharge cycles. There are several factors that can accelerate the normal degradation of battery capacity including: * Exposure to high temperatures * Leaving the battery completely charged or discharged for long periods of time (anything longer than two weeks.) When storing the device long-term, it is recommended to partially charge the device (approximately 30 to 50%) and keep it in a cool, dry place. Some devices may require a full charge and discharge cycle before an accurate measure of battery capacity can be made. The vívoactive battery is not user replaceable. If a new battery is needed, it can be replaced by utilizing the Garmin RMA process or contacting your local Garmin support office at www.garmin.com/support. I hope this helps. Thank you! *CG
Q: How will this watch work in a zumba class? WIll it track those steps indoors?
A: Yes. The device will keep track of your step from the motion of your arms. We recommend wearing your device on your dominant hand to get the most accurate step data. Best regards. ~QKO
A: We do not make a screen protector for the vívoactive. We would urge that you exercise caution before deciding whether to use a third-party screen protector. Screen protectors can inhibit the touchscreen or may damage the screen if/when they're removed. Damage caused by a screen protector is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. -JPK
A: It's stand alone
A: The Garmin vívoactive does not have the ability to answer or make a call. However, it will inform you that you have an incoming call. {CW}
