Customers are delighted by the vívoactive 4 GPS Smartwatch's long battery life, which lasts up to 4 days, and its durability, which is more robust than an Apple Watch. They also appreciate the activity tracking feature and the onboard music storage. While some users wish it was smaller in size, overall, customers are pleased with the watch's screen, GPS tracking, and ease of use.

    Good watch in terms of functionality, but has some major issues. My watch died after 1.5 years, and I had to go to Garmin's support website to get it replaced. Garmin acknowledged the fact that many people had issues with this watch model, and so my replacement was for free instead of the usual $150. Pros: - Super accurate heart rate tracking. - Looks good. - Screen is very readable in harsh sun. - Lots and lots of activities can be recorded. - Decent build quality. - Replacement has much better and accurate GPS tracking. Old one was more wonky and the GPS jumped a couple meters here and there. - Battery life is approx. 4 days, or about 15 hours of continuous GPS tracked activity. Cons: - Strap it comes with is bad, allows water to sit on my wrist, and gave me rashes. - No Hike activity!!! Cmon Garmin! I have to track my hikes with "Walking" and then change the activity type in the app! - No maps. - Screen scratches easily. (I use a protector) - Battery quality is poor, and I'm not expecting my replacement to last more than 1.5 more years. - Tough to use touch screen when wet (like when swimming or sweating profusely). This is an advantage of watches that are buttons-only.

    I highly recommend this product. Battery life has been superb, the screen is bright and responsive and GPS is accurate. The ability to sync/download spotify playlists to the watch is also great. Ive gotten lots of compliments already, and I'm glad it has interchangeable straps so I can change them out based on the occasion. We'll see how long it holds up long term but so far I'm happy. One note as I'm writing this, Garmin servers are down and have been for several days due to being hacked. This has limited my ability to sync, set alarms, and view my history. They havent communicated anything about it yet, but I'd see how it plays out befofe purchasing

    Have used for about two months now. Replaced charge2 and I wear everyday. I found it easy to learn and it offers so much more than the Fitbit. It also works seamlessly with my Strava. The built in gps is fast and accurate, as are the step counters and heart rate. The face is durable and still no scratches even though I’ve banged it pretty good a couple of times. High quality. I use mostly to track road and mountain biking. Worth the extra cost vs cheaper fitness trackers. It’s like professional grade instrument compared to other toys.

    The features include GPS, Notifications, and health monitoring. It helps me track my sleep and stress. It is a great upgrade from the vivoactive HR. Has all the features plus more and still has about 6 days battery life.

    I was looking for an activity tracker. The Garmin had GPS, cler display, long battery life and a range of fitness activities. Even has NF payment capability. So, after few weeks I can say its working great, seamlessly syncs my data through my phone or iPad

    Great fit but most importantly great features. I needed to track my heart rate and this definitely keep me on track. Plus many features including GPS and customizable. With the app you are always up to date with workouts, walks and heart rate. Battery life so far has been good.
