Garmin Vívoactive 4S, Smaller-Sized GPS Smartwatch, Features Music, Body Energy Monitoring, Animated Workouts, Pulse Ox Sensors and More, PVD Black/Slate

I love this watch, cannot fault it. Major Apple fan, and wanted an Apple watch, but it doesn’t support offline Spotify listening so I decided to choose Garmin. (If you have premium membership) you can download your playlists to the watch and listen without data. I have this issue of having really tiny wrists and hands and most sport watches are ginormous so I looked up which one is the smallest. This watch is actually a really nice size. Not too bulky either. I run regularly, often long distances (above 10k) and I wanted something that can track my run and that I can use for music with bluetooth earphones (Airpods pro work great with this watch in case you’re wondering) so I don’t have to carry my phone with me. It works really well for me, as soon as I get home and get close to my phone, my run immediately syncs with Strava. I’m one of those “weirdos” who wears their watch on the under side of the wrist. At first I tried on the top, because I read it everywhere that’s it’s made to be worn on the top, however I started getting wrist and hand pain, which is quite common apparently. This is because of the position of the watch and the heart rate tracker pressing on your wrist bones, if you move it further up on your arm the pain goes away. But I thought I would give the other side a go and it works just fine there too, every reading is as accurate as if you were to wear it on top of your wrist. Loads of third party strap options, so you don’t have to be stuck with the limited Garmin colours and the straps are very easy to change. Really like the sleep and stress tracking features. Only cons for me, you have to wait a minute for the watch to search for GPS signal to start your run and I really enjoy hillwalking, so I’m hoping this will not be too much of an issue in more remote areas. Also, Garmin pay is not supported by Nationwide in case you’re with them, you won’t be able to use it, which is a shame. Otherwise, highly recommend this watch!

Received the product early here is SA. Quick, reliable and not additional money charged.Waiting to see if there is maybe a refund on the taxes.Smaller face is perfect for my wrist, and all screens are crisp and clear. Watch is also perfect weight for me.Love the workout screens -- especially those I can do in my office during lunch time.App is easy to load and to understand. I do not yet have a spotify or deezer account, but loaded music from my laptop onto the watch (very easy).Have used it in my gym classes and am busy learning how to use all the stats to better improve my workouts.Have not yet used it for running.I'm office bound and find the reminders to get moving and to drink water very helpful indeed.Bluetooth earphones (taotronics) connected easily and have not had problems with connectivity. Have yet to load audiobooks onto watch.Connection to my Huawei P20Lite was easy and receive message, whatsapp and phone calls on my watch. Like the pre-programmed responses I can give. Love the various watch faces I can access through Connect IQSo far I am very happy with the watch.

Bought this to replace a Vivosmart HR that I'd had for years. After doing much research especially between this and the new Venu series, based on cost and daylight readability and battery life, I decided this was the way to go. Absolutely love it. I'm no great athlete but really wanted the GPS tracking for my walks which works really well. Everything is easy to navigate. Too early to comment on battery life. Strap is really great quality. Display is clear and bright... My wrists are very small and this is the perfect fit as most smart watches are too bulky. Much prefer a round watch face to square..There are so many sensors and a lot of data that this watch can handle to cover various aspects of your fitness. If you're after a smaller device that doesn't cost the earth but is packed with fitness features I don't think you can go wrong with this.

One of the main reasons I wanted to get a watch like this is to keep me away from my phone, as well as fitness tracking. I had a Fitbit Charge 2 before this watch, and that suited me well. But I wanted something with a few more features and an always-on display.What I like------------Firstly, I really like the display. I found a nice watch face, and being able to glance at my wrist and still be able to see the time without pressing a button is a breath of fresh air. My watch face has the essentials like battery percentage, notifications icon, heart rate, and Do Not Disturb indicator. I have it so the display lights up when I tap it.The things I've found most useful about this watch are:- I can set timers and alarms very quickly- It has a good alarm vibration strength, enough to wake me up in the morning- I can see all my phone notifications, can dismiss them, and reply to people in Telegram/Whatsapp with my own configured messages- I can see a bunch of information with just a couple of swipes, e.g. weather, events, fitness tracking information- The sp02 tracking has been interesting, though I'm not sure how accurate it is. I think after a while longer of collecting the data, I'll turn the feature off as it does drain the battery a bit overnight- It's easy to start an activity for tracking, and you can configure the data you see as you do the activity- The information collected during an activity is extensive- I enjoy being able to see heart rate/body battery/stress/sp02 etc graphs on the watch face without going to the app- Battery life is decent - with sp02 on overnight I get maybe 4 days or soWhat I don't like so much-----------------------------The Garmin app isn't as streamlined as the Fitbit one, in my opinion, but it works well enough.The biggest gripe I have with this, when comparing it to Fitbit, is that the sleep tracking is not as good. But after a while I realised I didn't really do much with that information to begin with. I think the information I get from this watch is as useful to me as the Fitbit information, even if it's less accurate - I can still compare days, and the information is decent. I do have to adjust the waking up time, as it doesn't realise I'm awake as I doze in bed in the morning. But it's not too much trouble.I also have a bit of an issue with the heart rate tracking when doing an activity, which for some reason is inconsistent or delayed. I do have a scar right under the sensor, so that may be why, or possibly the sweat interferes. Switching to my other wrist seems to help, anyway.Overall, I've grown to really like this watch. I tried out the Fitbit Versa 2, and the number of taps I had to do to do what I wanted (e.g. see the weather, set an alarm) was too damn high, plus the always-on-display was inferior. This watch is far more efficient.

Molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto. Rileva bene i parametri e la posizione quando si utilizza in modalità gps registrando le proprie attività all'aperto; di solito lo utilizzo per la corsa in quanto per il ciclismo ho un ciclocomputer dedicato. Consente la registrazione di tantissime tipologia di attività sportive. Compatibilità perfetta con l'app su iphone 12 e sincronizzazione sempre puntuale e precisa.Peccato la batteria che dura 2 giorni, anche senza utilizzare il gps; inutile, a mio parere, settare rilevazioni dei parametri meno frequenti e/o toglierne alcune, l'orologio è fatto apposta per questo altrimenti continuo ad utilizzare il classico orologio analogico.Consigliato!

Erstaunlich, dass sie noch einmal wesentlich kleiner ausfällt als die VA3 und trotzdem gut abzulesen ist.Sie kann alles ein bisschen besser und lässt mit der Atem Messung und dem Pulsoximeter noch zwei interessante neue Parameter zu.Die Umstellung der Bedienung von VA3 Apps ist nahezu ohne Problem vonstatten gegangen.Lediglich das Runden / Satz starten könnte dann mal vereinheitlicht werden, es nervt das alle da irgendwie anders ihre Apps programmieren.Das Testen der SUP App zum Kajakfahren steht noch aus, aber auch hier wird der kleine Alleskönner sicherlich punkten.Die Ausdauer des Akku bewegt sich ziemlich genau im Bereich der VA3. Das Laden scheint teils langsamer zu sein, je nachdem welche Quelle ich nutze.Ein Kaufempfehlung für diesen Preis !!

Very nice product. The band is a little short but I can get it on. Many useful functions. Perfect combo of a smart watch and a sport watch.
