How long is the battery life for an average user? null

depends how long you use your GPS, how many activities a day/week. I currently run for about an hour every other day and do strength training 5x a week and I have to charge in 5 days. dont forget your phone alerts this drains battery as well.

Smartwatch mode: Up to 8 days GPS mode with music: Up to 6 hours GPS mode without music: Up to 18 hours Please keep in mind notifications may also deplete battery, so depending on how many notifications you receive may or may not be an issue with battery drain. Debbie with Garmin

I've purchased 5 (FIVE) Garmin - vívoactive 4 Smartwatches within the past 8 months; all had serious issues. Extremely inaccurate heart bpm readings. Readings varied by over 25 bpm discrepancy when compared to professional accurate equipment! This also leads to very inaccurate calorie calculation. Also, on all these watches the screen would freeze for over 24 hours. Software design and options are mediocre, annoying at times and inefficient. Most unprofessional and inefficient customer support offered by Garmin. I've spent over 8 hours on chat with ten different agents, on different days; all of them treated me as one would treat a mentally challenged person, none acknowledged the vívoactive 4 issue. To top it all, they've all tried to switch the blame on me. It seems that their training consists on convincing the customer that he/she is an idiot incapable of using a simple device.
