Customer Ratings & Reviews

After 2 weeks with this watch I am beyond thrilled with my purchase. Love the workout options, on board music, sleep analysis, Garmin app on my phone, stellar battery life, and tons of other bells and whistles I didn't even know I wanted. I had the Fitbit Ionic for 2.5 years and was always waiting for them to step up their smart features, especially their golf app. When my Ionic broke due to spontaneous waterproof failure I searched high and low for a replacement. The Apple Watch may be awesome, but it's battery life is awful. This watch is sporty enough for the gym, classy enough for work or a date, and simple enough with two buttons and a touch screen to not be obnoxious. I have banged it on walls and railings a few times and no marks to be seen; I appreciate the anti-scratch Gorilla glass. I love the golf app and didn't need to buy the $500 Garmin S62. I can get 2-3 rounds of golf in before a recharge, and about 5 days of battery with daily workouts. I can't recommend this watch enough. I don't need an amoled or retina screen and I don't need to text on my phone, or talk into my watch for calls. I actually really appreciate the toned down, low brightness but always on display. I will update this if anything changes, but there are still a ton of options and things this beast can do that I haven't even seen yet.

I like this for several reasons but unfortunately if I had to do it over again I probably wouldn't buy it. I only need to recognize my activities and my sleep which my apple watch could not do because it needs to constantly be charging after a days wear. The batter life on this is several days which is good but the Garmin only style charger is the drawback. Heck that is the drawback to all these watches. They need to start using USB-c or wireless charging. The other thing I dislike is unlike my fitbit which recognizes all my sleeping patterns and naps throughout the day, this thing will only register my sleep at night. So if I take a power nap for several hours in the day while I put my kid into his daily nap, it does not recognize it. Also, the settings are too advance for me. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the screen auto light up when I look at it anymore. Sucky thing is, it keeps lighting up when I lay down randomly to sleep so the light bothers me when I am trying to get some zzz's. One good thing going for it is the durability of the screen face. So far I have only had light scratches to it. The wrist wrap is also pretty durable unlike my fitbit that was destroyed after a year. The fitbit still worked but without the wristband, it was pretty useless. It broke the part where the wristband connected to so changing wristbands wasn't going to fix that problem in case someone reading this might be wondering why I didn't just change out the wristbands.

I’ve had multiple smart watches, but I feel like the Vivoactive 4 is a solid mesh of features and durability. I’ve had the instinct/solar, Amazfit T REX pro, Series 6 Apple Watch, and an Apple Watch SE. The instinct series was super durable but lacked some features like onboard storage and the screen wasn’t all that great. T REX Pro was the same thing. The screen was great, tracking was on par, but the always on display lacked brightness due to the AMOLED panel and you couldn’t do two things simultaneously. Like have music controls and the timer running. The Apple watches are awesome. But not durable. More like an office wear watch. Definitely not for a down in the dirt job. Some may say otherwise but that’s my opinion. The Vivoactive 4 has onboard storage for music. More robust than an Apple Watch, heck with a screen protector from Amazon you’re in business. It has garmin pay ability. Battery life is awesome compared to other smart watches. About 6 days. The screen is perfect for a job outdoors. No backlight needed. It’s an always on display. This watch is a solid 5 stars.

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.

Amazing product. It has been used for more than 2 years now the battery is deteriorating a little bit but still holds charge for at least 3-4 days.

I am loving this watch, I have ran a few half marathons for it now. It is comfortable and seems like it is going to withstand a lot more miles to come!

Overall happy with this watch, it’s the first I’ve owned. Battery life is great lasting about 6 days. A few minor glitches once in awhile, nothing major that can’t easily be overcome. Seems to be a very good watch for the price point. Still playing with it and trying out different apps. I haven’t beat it up to hard yet, but it seems durable. It’s taken a few scrapes against concrete walls and haven’t noticed any scratching.

Garmin is the only watch that has been rugged enough to survive for any significant period of time on my wrist. Either the watch is damaged or the charging port connection dies on other watches. My wife bought this watch to replace an existing vivoactive HR which is still working after a couple of years and a new watch band. No crazy about the menus on this watch and getting to more info, does not seem that intuitive so far. Simple is better.

This watch is very simple yet powerful. The size is great, the metrics are accurate, works great with my headphones and wireless speaker... I bought it about a month ago and have been wearing it every day and it works great.

The watch is very durable. I have hit it against many surfaces, no scratches, I work out with it, shower with it, even got diesel on it. Still as if i just took it out of the box. Do put a screen protector on it.

Very good functions and comfortable band. A bit hard to read the data and takes a bit to get used to the menu's and applications stages. Has held up thru multiple swim and dive sessions.

Really loving it so far. Love that you can download custom watch faces. Everything I wanted in a smart watch. Hoping its as durable as other's have told me!

My 2nd watch !! Sleek style. More durable than the Apple Watch . Use it everyday for work and workout s
