QuestionWill Garmin ever get around to testing this band with the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL? For months, the Windows Phone compatibility list on the Garmin website has simply stated "Device and phone combination have not been tested". Not helpful.
Asked 8 years ago by NMBill.
- Answer I wouldn't hold my breath. Microsoft has ended update support for the Windows phone and is apparently throwing in the towel on Windows phones since it has less than 1.0 per cent market share in the smart phone market. (I made the mistake of buying a Nokia Lumia shortly after Microsoft bought the company. Although the phone was above average as far as hardware is concerned, there were almost no apps available. The ones that Microsoft offered were half baked, and third party software providers didn't want to waste their time on a product with such a limited market.) Do yourself a favor and buy a good Android smart phone (or if you are extremely wealthy, an iPhone). The vivoactive watch will work well with either of these operating systems, and it IS necessary to pair the watch with a smart phone in order for it to be fully functional.

QuestionWindows phone compatiable?
Asked 8 years ago by Paul.
- Answer I'm using a Lumia 640 LTE, Windows 10 Mobile Garmin has the Connect app that works on my phone and will sync the device. This was a key item for me buying the Garmin, was sync function for my Windows phone, no problem with the BT connection. The only thing I would say is that it tended to use more battery that I was used to. Had to trim back how much the app used, or how often is sync'd up.

QuestionCan you do open water swimming (Ocean)
Asked 9 years ago by Johnny.
- Answer The vivoactive HR has a water resistance rating that would allow you take it in the water. The device is designed to provide pool swim activity data, but is not designed to track open water swim activities. But you would be able to safely take the device in the ocean while swimming.
