Garmin vívoactive® 4 Silver Stainless Steel Bezel with Shadow Gray Case and Silicone Band

I got this vivo active 4 from my kids on fathers day several years ago. It functions very well and the layout is very user friendly and intuitive. Battery life is ~4 days. There are lots of free customized watch faces and overall I'm very pleased with this. I would have liked a small speaker/mic and a small "flashlight" as conveniences. But this is minor. Like most modern equipment and apps, I am concerned about privacy so I just provide the barest minimum for it to remain functional.

I've had this device for more than a few years during which I've endured severable medical challenges, and it's proven to be invaluable when coupled with the Garmin Connect app. The Garmin Connect IQ provides most of the customization features that are indispensable. My only qualification is the clockface crystal that is elevated and prone to scratching way too easily.

I used my 4S mainly for hiking and walking. I did have an “out of warranty“ problem after two and a half years. When I contacted Garmin, they extended my warranty and arranged for a replacement. This was beyond my expectations!

Had this for years now and I was shopping for a replacement. Thing is, nothing beats the battery life on this watch. 5 days without charge, using GPS to track workouts and everything. The latest apple or Google watches need charged all every day. I love that it can play music while I'm on a run so I don't need to take my phone. The app is pretty good, I enjoy tracking workouts, my body batter, and sleep. I wish it was waterproof so I could swim with it on, and the golf course UI on the watch and app could be better. Love it!!

Works fine for my needs and is dependable. I am not too sophisticated, using it basically to track walks, runs, and bike runs (Peloton and outdoors), and it works fine. Improvements could be an bluetooth integration for the heart monitor to show on the Peloton bike and battery time (I basically have to charge it every day, or every other day in a best case scenario).

I bought it about 6 years ago. Periodically it would shut down and I had a difficult time getting it to start back up. Last month it counted it's last step.

Purchased this watch to track my daily exercise and activities. I need to have GPS to track my activities. I applied all the battery saving suggestions, the battery hardly lasts for 1.5 days (36 hours).

On the description was a 45mm watch and I received a 40mm. Too small for me. The watch didn’t came on the original box and looks like a used watch or somebody returned. Looks like refurbished.

Why do I have to share my data for the app to work? It gets tiring when every company wants to collect my data to sell me more crap. I already purchased the watch and just want the app to work!! My phone has more than enough storage, why do I have to send my data to garmin for the app to work at all??

Loved this watch! All the way until it died after two years, out of warranty and no apparent solution from Garmin.
