Garmin Vivoactive 4, GPS Smartwatch, Features Music, Body Energy Monitoring, Animated Workouts, Pulse Ox Sensors and More, Black

There's nothing more satisfying than wearing a watch My favorite watches have automatic movements, but I also enjoy quartz watches occasionally. My own personal stance is that "Smart Watches" are a fad I should avoid. Nevertheless, I found that I was wearing a Garmin VivoSmart fitness band as well as a regular watch and so wanted to find a product that could fulfill both purposes at the same time. The watch should look like a smartphone without looking like I'm wearing one on my wrist. I also own an Android so. You can say goodbye to the Apple Watch. Still, I don't mind. Here's the thing if you're looking for a device like this, you have a choice you can buy a true "smartwatch" with a colorful display, the ability to track steps and read emails (Apple and Samsung). It would be nice if fitness devices included Smartwatch features, but they usually come with terrible battery life. You can think of it as In my opinion, Garmin is the best. Buying the 40mm size, I don't look silly with dressier styles because it looks like a regular watch. While it does not have a bright AMOLED display like the Apples and Samsungs, it does have an always-on display that is easy to read whatever the light conditions are. When you're in a dark area, you can program it to brighten with a swipe or a tap of your wrist. The watch behaves that way as well, like your regular watch You can customize the face or download other faces with the Garmin IQ app, which for me is a must. As far as I'm concerned, it works great. Those are the innards of the Garmin that really shine, and they track pretty much every bodily function you have. Steps is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many books in the library The heart rate and oxygen saturation are monitored as well as the workouts themselves. It's just amazing how well Garmin buryes the competition in the fitness space. Although you can read texts and so forth, you can't get through to the next page. There's no need to worry about that since I have a phone. Emails cannot be read on my watch, so I don't want to do that. As a real watch, the Garmin VA2 provides information about your day and acts as a timekeeper. I like it because it's smarter and there is a lot of fitness stuff. Apples and Samsungs are nowhere to be seen in terms of battery life. Get a score of 2 During the first three days, I only focused on the basics. * If you do not care much about fitness criteria and wish to have a wrist display that mirrors your phone. Then you need to visit Apple. Make sure to keep your charger with you at all times. You can buy it if you want a really solid smart-ish watch that looks good and packs health and fitness utilities. Garmin is a great device. This decision was not regretted.

It's been edited The watch has been in my possession and has been used for over a year. Bluetooth connectivity is the only area that has shown a degradation. The music was not skipping or sounding choppy when it used to. It has gotten quite a bit worse with multiple skips (*500ms) per song in the last 6 months. Using my phone, I have no issues listening to music. So my headphones aren't at fault. The A/V review is as follows A smartwatch that has the ability to download Spotify playlists, connect to Bluetooth headphones, provide GPS tracking during runs and hikes, offer long battery life, and have a fast processor was somewhat of a priority for me It is slow to respond to touch screens. The watch has been on my wrist for about a week now, so here are my initial impressions Please note In my case, downloading my spotify playlists using the watch was relatively easy and it didn't take long to connect it to my phone and WiFi. For headphones, I use a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds. I was able to pair them almost immediately with the watch. Please note It is almost impossible to experience connectivity issues while playing music from the watch. 1. During this time, we'll be working on the following. Maybe for the first or second or third five hours, there will be some choppy music. I almost don't need to mention this, but I wanted to mention it just in case someone else runs into the same problem. *BR>- There have been no issues with GPS tracking so far. Please note I have never had a problem with battery life when not listening to music. Uses only 5 to 7 pcs at a time Over a 10-year period, it has increased by 8% Over the course of a 12-hour Please note It would be better if battery life were better when listening to music and using Bluetooth headphones. In the course of listening to music for 2 hours, I saw the battery drain by 30%. The product is good enough for me, but I think it could be better. This is why I gave a 4 instead of a 5. Please note A very responsive touchscreen does not cause any lag at all, and I have not had any connection issues. Please note With the watch, you can do a lot of things thanks to its many features and applications. At first, it may seem a little confusing, but after wearing the watch for about an hour, I felt like I had a good grasp on everything.

As a result I got this Garmin watch - it was cheaper and the emphasis was on tracking activity rather than A great start to the Garmin Watch, and much better than Samsung's health app. As far as the smart features are concerned, they performed perfectly (displaying emails, texts, and phone calls). My husband can easily track my whereabouts when I am out walking, hiking, or biking with the help of the safety features. However, the watch began malfunctioning after only a few weeks. on a hike that is supposed to be 7 miles, but my watch showed it was The watch acknowledged I had climbed just two floors, but I actually climbed ten In the midst of climbing 20 floors, the watch showed 0 floors, needed to be reset, and then needed to be Although I hadn't logged any water yet for the day, I received a congratulations from the watch for reaching my water goal for the While I love the watch when it works and the app when it works, I have to reset the clock to factory defaults or uninstall the app and reinstall it every time. Also, the GPS signal is weak, and it takes a long time to connect and disconnection occurs easily when it is in a wooded area. I have only had the watch for a month at this point. A scratch appeared on the watch face on day 1, which never happened on the Samsung watch in over a year. Despite the Samsung being cheaper, I still prefer the Garmin.
