Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed This was a researched gift. It was chosen because of reviews and features. Issues #1 battery life The device needs recharging almost daily despite my turning off any unnecessary notification that I could find. #2 GPS sync I was unaware that I can walk on water but apparently I do that regularly. A one Mile Walk became a 3.5 Mile trek over water and back again. #3 Pulse ox feature is useless. I'm an RN and if my Pox was really what this thing states I need to be intubated. I've tried tighter, looser, other arm, every which way. Doesn't work. #4 I've looked all over the Garmin site and I cannot find a list of the icons/menus. It's not that intuitive. Sometimes you need to tap, sometimes swipe. It's just... Okay. Counts steps and simple walks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still Learning I have only been using this for less than a week but so far I love it. I guess I need to read the owner's manual that you have to download... Some features seem a little complicated to operate but like I said, I'm very new. I love the sleek look of it and barely feel it on my arm. It seems to motivate me more since wearing it. I look forward to having the time to really dig in to the owner's manual and learn about all the great features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love all of the features I just got my Vivosmart for Christmas from my Fiancé and I’m loving it. The features and APP take a little time to get used to because there are so many uses but it is a good problem to have. My favorite feature is measuring my activity and sleep patterns.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice but not great Based on the item descriptions I had high hopes for this tracker but it fell short of my expectations. One of the selling points was that it would monitor elliptical workouts. Well it really only records the time that you spent on the elliptical and only because you manually have to hit start and stop. It does NOT record strides. Workouts are a hassle too. You have to manually start and stop the device when doing reps and frequently the count is wrong, sometimes over, sometimes under, sometimes doesn't even register. Would have liked to see pulse rate on the screen at a glance but that's not a feature. One good point is that the app that goes along with the device is very good. The strap is comfortable and the device is sleek.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving it I bought this a couple weeks ago and it has exceed my expectations. The app makes it so easy to customize my Zones and keep track of my workouts. I haven’t seen a more up to date efficient type watch like this. I was going to get an Apple Watch which was triple the price and I’m so glad I got this instead. Worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as good as I had hoped First off, the band is not long enough. Additionally many feat6I am disappointed in. The bluetooth heartrate monitor does not sync with either my treadmill or indoor bicycle. To enter the info manually is not easy. Also. I get footstep readings when seated in a chair. When I go up a flight of stairs it does not always register. Poor device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gray with rose gold watch I just got this watch a few days ago but absolutely love it. I have a really small wrist and it fits perfectly and could even go smaller. I love the look of it and can even wear it to work, with my suits. I am grateful that it allows you to return a text (cannot write one, but you can choose from a few). If my stress rises it vibrates and tells me to breathe. It will also tell me when it's time to start moving after I have sat for too long. Steps seem to be pretty close to accurate, during my walks. The watch is small, probably the width of my finger and barely know you're wearing it. The only 2 downsides: I did have to download an under armour app to calculate my calories but the two apps work together nicely. Just fyi - the SATS/pulse ox are only taken during sleep, and I have not found an option to take it on command. Great watch!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Low Profile, High Impact My only complaint is that I didn't buy this thing sooner!!! I feel so empowered now that I have an accurate understanding of what my body's vitals look like. I've been working on improving my overall fitness level and getting to a "new normal" that is fit and healthy. Understanding the impacts of stress, aerobic fitness, and the quality of my sleep has really enabled me to reach the level of holistic awareness that I was looking for. The device itself is super low profile, goes well with everything, and is easy to use and understand. I'm impressed with the variety of features it contains and the battery life! 10/10 would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Undecided I really like the look and feel of this product. It’s also very easy to use. However, the tracking does not seem accurate. The sleep tracker shows I’m asleep way before I actually sleep and it takes a while to register that I’m awake. Close to an hour on each end. Also, the steps seem off. Upon waking, I walked to my bathroom (about 8 feet away) and it said I had already walked 77 steps. I’m hoping I can recalibrate the tracker or something like that to make it more accurate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Major syncing problems I wanted to love this but I am already returning it in less than 24 hours of use. The intent of this device is spot on. Not too many bells and whistles but for those who want to make sure basic health measures are working as they should this covers those. Unfortunately a day after I received it, it stopped syncing for me. I did all the trouble shooting, to still not have my watch sync with my phone. On the app it said there were server issues. The following day several widgets had come off my app. And the green lights were continuously blinking when they should be steady/just in. My husband has Garmin products and also says syncing is an ongoing issue. Too many problems in a short period of time. With so many other like devices on the market, I'll find one that works as it's supposed to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice fitness tracker I have only had this a few days but I like it much better than the Fitbit charge I had before. The features are better and it fits much more comfortably on my wrist. I am waiting to see how I feel after a week or two to decide on the stress tracker and sleep tracker. But the heart rate and steps are accurate. Overall the better fit, connectivity with my phone, and extra trackers make this an awesome fitness tracker in my opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent, but issues This was a gift from my family; and while I would not have purchased it for myself, this model and I are getting along just ok. Can’t bring myself to exchange it when my family was so excited to buy it for me and want to see me wearing it. My old hand me down Fit Bit Charge 2 worked better. The face is too small for my aging eyes-thank goodness for the app-and My Day rarely begins registering stats at the beginning of my day. Last night, it said I had to register! Luckily I turned my IPhone off and in before I went too far with this farce. Garmin needs to address several issues

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1st and last This is the first activity tracking watch, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I love it so far. It is small and light weight, but does so many amazing things. I love the reminders to get up and move. With the stay at home order..... I am not as active as I used to be. This gives me the kick in the pants I need to stay active! The sleep monitoring ability is also amazing. No wonder I wake up feeling like I didn't get enough sleep, my sleep cycle is terrible!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like it so far I recently bought my Garmin Vivosmart 4 and using it for 3 days. It is simple to use and I prefer the smaller devices so this is just what I needed. My only complaint so far is I have it paired to an Apple 11 running IOS 13.1.3 and the watch keeps getting disconnected from my phone and the watch keeps alerting me to connect and then followed with an alert saying it is connected without me having made any adjustments. Some times I will open my Connect app and it takes several attempts to get them connected after I notice it currently isn’t connected. Overall, I love the Garmin Vivosmart 4 and hope the bugs get worked out soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Didn't disappoint! The vivosmart 4 is awesome, so many features from sleep oxygen levels to letting you know to take a break and breathe for a minute. The app is easy to install set up and haven't had any problems. Several different sports to add. Can even track menstrual cycles and ovulation for women. Pretty good battery life and waterproof, what more could you ask for. Would not trade it and always recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vivosmart4 I received a vivosmart4 as xmas gift. It was purchased 12/19/2019 at BestBuy. I previously used a vivosmart HR and was happy with it( SW 4.60, SN3933041258). The 4 has failed in many ways. It has a mind of it's own. It a fails to sync a large percentage of the time without re-downloading the application and resetting all the settings. For three days it would not sync and I did not want to re-download the application and reset settings again. I was getting ready return it to the BestBuy store this morning when my cell phone( iphone 7, SW13.1.2) informed me that vivosmart 4 wants to sync and do I want to ALLOW it. I did and it did work again but no O2 data. WHAT IS YOUR RECOMENDATION? If I do not here from you with in the week I plan to return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great for a couple days First thing to go was the default date/time screen. The high intensity minutes became the alpha dog. Soon after getting into the activity tracking widgets became a challenge. Then the screen would start to freeze. I returned. It was great for a short time but I want a product I don't have to struggle with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Tracker This is the 3rd tracker I have tried and the best. I like the smaller size and the soft band. It's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. Where it really shines is the app. It shows everything on the home screen and is very comprehensive. I'm very happy with it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great wearable! I bought this about a month ago after researching wearables that had a built in oximeter. Stay away from the cheap ones! I bought one for $30 and it lasted to charges so I turned it. This device is perfect for people with respiratory issues! The battery lasts days when when you use the overnight oxygen monitor. It is light and really comfortable. I'm really impressed with how it fits and doesn't bother me to wear, I'm not one to wear watches or bracelets. I highly recommend this fitness tracker.

I would definitely recommend this tracker.

I assume it is sending data for the study, but I don't know that for sure.. It needs a lot of work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim looking, but poor battery life and parts I chose this watch as I was looking for a slim design that looked discreet as an everyday watch yet was able to track my day to day health. Setting up was straightforward, and I had a good time using it, and love the autostart feature when it noticed that I started walking for a considerable amount of time. However, over the months, I noticed that the battery life has decreased tremendously - I would need to charge it every 4 - 5 days despite not actively using any sports tracker and recently, in its 11th month, the gold frame of the watch has been detached due to poor workmanship (despite not being underwater - I always remove when I shower and I've taken it for swimming in Jan/ Feb for less than 5 times). I also had encountered several challenges with Garmin's workmanship, that left me very dissatisfied with the product overall. If the warranty doesn't cover the damage, I would likely be seeking a new watch of a different brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Time Fitness Tracker I've only been using my Vivosmart 4 for about 4 days now but I'm really enjoying it so far. Right out of the box it had a charge and I havent needed to plug it in yet. The app is really easy to understand and I like that its linked with My Fitness Pal so I can track my calories. My only complaint would be the smallish screen, memorizing what the symbols mean is a bit hard but I'm sure I'll have it down soon. I was expecting this downfall so I'm really not too upset about it. I just wanted something with a sleeker look that doesnt shout, "I'm wearing a smart watch!"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great informative device I received my vivosmart for Christmas. I love it. I had no idea how much it can teach you. I now know why I feel tired all the time and have many headaches. My deep sleep and REM sleep are almost non existent and my stress level is high a lot more than it isn’t. I am still working on the calorie side of things because I’m not understanding the readings too well (a work in progress). It has also shown me a lot about myself that I was totally unaware of, which now I can change for the better. I have only just started exercising and have not swum with it on yet so I can not really comment on that side of things yet. I will update my review once I get started on that side of the readings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Garmin Vivosmart Purchased for my husband but he didn't like wearing it so I took it over for myself. Has many good features, but the band is not comfortable (and hard to get on and off) and the screen is super small and difficult to read. User interface on the device is poor also. The app gives a lot of great information but I worried about my pulse ox values until I read that sleeping on your arm could cause inaccurate values (so I might not actually be at risk of dying of sleep apnea).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Okay tracker but limited :( I was excited because of the display. For the size it is awesome. But I need more functions and GPS because my activities are based on heart rate tracking, which I went with the Vivosport after purchasing both and comparing side to side, literally. So each has their specific functions. I like the smart for comfort, size and overall fit. I didn't really notice I was wearing it. If I could get all of the functions in the smart4 that the sport has I would go with the smart for sure. Just my needs were not supported for specific training purposes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great on paper, terrible execution Garmin has a great idea here (mainly body battery/blood OX sensor and it being one of the only ANT+ Supported among the completion which means it’s compatible with sending on screen heart rate to a peloton bike if you own one. The main problem is that the HR and Move IQ capabilities simply don’t work well which then completely remove any reason the spend money on this. For example my HR was often time 20-30 bpm lower than my peloton chest strap and Apple Watch (series 1) readings. How can a device that is 4 years newer than a series 1 Apple Watch perform this bad. There was constant lag in the real-time HR readout which made it unusable with for example the peloton bike. Also move IQ never identified the cycling events in the calendar in addition to being highly inaccurate with other workouts. Combined when these major selling points are a failure then there is also no way to tell if body battery is working correctly when combing all data points. I’m on the latest software version at the time of writing this (2.7). I thought maybe mine is defective but there are other users reporting the same and I also saw users mentioning the Same on YouTube. Stay away until Garmin can fix all the issues with HR accuracy and function of some of the other functions.

I've tried out the VO2 max and the Pulse OX for sleeping and it's been great. I like the stress function because I've found a somatic response that seems to correlate with higher stress so I can use that to start relaxing when I need to. the only improvement I deeply want is a more direct view of my HRV. While I recognize that the stress function and the body battery are based on HRV, I would love to see the actual HRV.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so great I just got this about a week ago and so far so great I really do like it. The best part is the customizability in what information you receive and what you are able to do with the band. I really like it. I can't vouch for the longevity yet but I do really like this product so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only had it for a few days so far, so far so good! Really enjoy it so far, BUT I've only had it for about a week. That's the only reason why I haven't given it 5 stars. Functionally, it does everything well that it advertises. The one thing that I have not yet tried is the GPS enabled through your phone, which I am eagerly wanting to. Also, this might be a con to some, but to me I'm even happier about this - the screen is even smaller in person than I though it'd be. I've had no problems syncing it to my phone, I feel like it tracks steps and heart rate pretty accurately. Overall, I love it so far! It does what I want out of it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Features But Caused me Pain This tracker affected me mostly the same way FitBit did - it caused me horrible muscle and nerve pain. Unlike the FitBit, I also started having head pain nine days after wearing Vivosmart. I wonder what makes some people sensitive to the technology involved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great tracker with a lot of useful health info Bought this because I was looking to keep track of my steps but wanted the ability to turn bluetooth off. Learning it has a lot of great additional features, particularly stress and sleep tracking, that make it an awesome health tracker. First few days of sleeping with it are a little uncomfortable (never slept with a watch on my wrist before) but seems very spot on with tracking quality and length of sleep. also love the reminders to move if I've been idle for a while. stress tracker seems fairly accurate so far, body battery i can't tell if it's useful but may just need to use it a while longer so the tracker gets used to my energy and routines. pulse ox seems cool and is a nifty added feature, particularly in these covid times seems like a useful tool to have on hand (doesn't seem as accurate as a finger pulse ox but not bad). i use this solely as a tracker not a smart watch. picked this over other trackers because of the ability to turn the bluetooth off (garmin seems to have this for most their trackers)...i have it off majority of the day and will instead sync once in the morning and/or once in the evening so i can review my daily activities on the app. highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good I've had the vivosmart4 for about a week and love it so far. I am not athletic. I got this because I have heart issues and am diabetic and wanted an idea of how my heart was doing throughout the day. I know there is the warning about it not being medical grade, bit it works nice to give me an alert when my heart rate is going up when I might not think about it. The step counter is definitely a good motivator. I get annoyed if I don't get my steps in. The one thing I wish it did was turn on with the button as well as motion. It doesn't always register enough movement to turning and I feel foolish waving my arm around to get it to turn on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great overall This is a very nice tracking watch - it is easy to wear, comfortable and very streamlined. It took me a little to get used to the applications of the watch and I see it has more options than I need but for someone who really does a lot of different exercises it is a great watch. It is worth every penny and i am learning to love it. I had a different type before (which cost less and was easier to follow for what I did - mostly walking) but like I said I am learning to love this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Wearable - Could use improvement Just purchased the Vivosmart 4 a few weeks ago. Finally glad to find a wearable that has a functioning SpO2 sensor. Though with that being said, there are a few important improvements that it could use. 1. SpO2 sensor takes way too long to pull up the percentage for a spot check. Needs to be around 10 seconds. The stats could Change dramatically within a minute. 2. Would be nice to see the SpO2 percentage as a clockface feature. Spot check when your Vivosmart 4 wakes up. 3. Since this can track your SpO2 while sleeping, that means it can do a constant check. It would be nice to see that as an option as well. Instead of just seeing your percentage show up once, have it remain checking every second like a regular finger pulse Ox. Then turns off once the user exits the menu. Let me know what can be implemented. I may send back if atleast one of these can’t be tackled unfortunately, especially the time it takes to check.

One morning it died without any kind of low battery warning. That was the third day I had it, the battery is claimed to last for 7 days. Trying to get it to charge has been difficult. I wish it would tell you when it was connected and charging instead of just having to leave it plugged in and hope for the best. Otherwise, it is a good device and I do enjoy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't give up I wanted to get this because I'm waiting to return to NY and am stuck in FLA.during this pandemic. I started biking in my neighborhood just to get out and do something. I wanted to get something to tell me how many miles I was going. I also wanted to get something that could tell me my blood oxygen levels, plus I have sleep apnea and wanted to see my sleep patterns. Anyway it took awhile to figure out how to add my cycling so I could get an idea of what I was doing. I read and looked at many videos tryng to figure it out. I stumbled upon others who were having the same problem. I decided to add the app to my laptop and that'd when things seemed to come together. Don't give up, it will work.

With Garmin it shows me that I really need to move more. For working out heart rate is good compared with polar the difference is 10 bpm but I noticed some moments were the same. Some people complain about the touching screen for me it’s totally fine. It’s like everything the way you touched it is the way it’s going to work. Battery is fine average 4 days. I really liked it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A lot for the money. I am amazed how much this little thing does and I like it a lot now that I am have been using it for while. A lot of features for the money. That said, I am fairly tech savvy but the iPhone app interface is very confusing to navigate for the beginner. It seems like there is too much focus on social media, challenges, connections, news feed and the like. I am now reasonably good at using it and finding what I want but it took a while. I can see how older folks and those that aren't too tech savvy would be lost. It has to be pretty snug to be reliable. I question some of the sleep data as it has at times registered me as sleeping when I was awake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good! I bought my Garmin Vivosmart 4 this past week after having purchased a couple of less expensive activity trackers on Amazon as well as the Fitbit Inspire HR. The problem with the Inspire was its total lack of accuracy tracking steps and calories with no fix in sight. I tested the cheaper ones but they were uncomfortable to wear. Their accuracy seemed to be pretty good. The Garmin seems extremely accurate, I like their app and that it links with MyFitnessPal and it is very very comfortable to wear. I also like the slim style since I have pretty small wrists. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone!!!

It’s interesting to use for weightlifting, it correctly recorded the type of activity, not all the time, but some. However, it was difficult to use for that activity.

One of the main reasons I bought this was so I could wear it daily and not have to take it off when I’m swimming since I go to the beach almost every weekend. I love the body battery features and the stress monitoring. It really helps me calculate the types of exercises I need to do and how much I should sleep based on my energy levels. The app also gives you suggestions on the intensity of exercises you should do based on your energy. It also sends little reminders to move when I’m sitting at my desk too long at work. The interface is easy to use once you get used to all the features. This watch is great for the working woman that wants to manage her stress and exercise!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW!! I bought this tracker about a month ago and for the most part I love it! The battery life is so much better than my old Fitbit Flex 2. The Vivosmart 4 is beautifully designed and the quality is up to Garmin's excellent standards. The graphics in my phone's Garmin Connect app are stunningly beautiful. The bracelet is very light, soft, stretchy and comfortable which was a pleasant surprise as my past two activity trackers were harder and would wake me up at night when they got too snug. This one is snug to begin with and I worried that might be a problem but I have never felt the need to move it. I love the different choices of vibration levels and screen lighting. I find the lightest vibration is plenty to get my attention and I don't need the brightest screen so hopefully I am conserving battery life. I don't get why it is so important to get notifications for phone calls and messages. For this 75 year old, I choose more silence in this crazy life, so this feature is turned off. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Garmin golf app may work on this tracker but there is still snow on the ground so I will have to wait a few more weeks to try it out. The amount of information that is generated by this tracker is phenomenal but I am not sure what is normal and what numbers I should be aiming for. For instance, my sleep patterns are very erratic and one of the main reasons I bought another tracker is to try to improve my terrible sleep habits. According to the Vivosmart 4 I get anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour of REM in a night but I can't find any information on how much REM sleep and deep sleep is possible in a night? How much is necessary for good health? What should I be aiming for? The same with stress levels, oxygen levels, and body battery. I would value a bit more information and coaching in this reguard. One of the main reasons I bought this tracker is that it is supposed to be waterproof. This is very important to me as I attend water aerobics 3 times a week. It even has the swimmer icon as an activity I can track with this bracelet. After I bought it, I read about someone who experienced the death of his tracker after swimming with it. I researched it a bit more and found conflicting information and no actual waterproof rating so I have been afraid to wear it during pool time. I have always showered with it and one time I was in the bathtub and was horrified to realize that the tracker had been submerged for a minte or two but it still works so perhaps he had a lemon and I will get up enough nerve to wear mine in the pool. Connecting the charger is a bit tricky. The first time, I wrongly thought it was connected. It turns out to be very clear when it is charging as a big battery with the lightning bolt will light up the screen and the tracker will vibrate once. That elusive sweet spot is still hard for me to find. I might end up marking the band where the clip is supposed to sit because I don't get enough practice charging the tracker. This is not a complaint. I just connected it to the charger for the fourth time so I am happy to report getting about a week per charge. I have not mastered the double screen tap to wake the tracker up. Sometimes I can tap twenty times and get a blank stare. I got so frustrated that I reached out to Garmin support a week or more ago and am very disappointed to report that I have not received a reply yet. So I googled the issue and I am not alone. Others have tried strength of the tap, pkacement of the tap (including sides and strap)...apparently it helps to sit down with the tracker and take the time to map out exactly where to tap and how fast and hard the taps should be. It seems like the top of the screen is a little more responsive. Meanwhile the wake up movement of bringing my wrist up to view the screen works better for me. All in all, I love this tracker. It is just taking me a little time to get acquainted with it and trust that it is truly waterproof.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Products, great staff! I’ve only had it for a couple of days, and I already love it. I spend more time fidgeting with this thing than I do anything else. I love the body battery feature. I’m a full time worker, and full time student. I wake up at 4:30 every morning to go to the gym, so as you can imagine, I wear out by the end of the weak. I love having something tell me I need to rest because I just won’t do it on my own. I also love that it tracks my sleep! It gives me a better understanding of why I feel too groggy, or so refreshed when I wake up. When I purchased this, I didn’t have the intention of buying a Garmin. I was looking at the Fitbits, just out of curiousity. A Garmin representative approached me and offered his help in any questions I have about any of the different devices from any different brands. He was very helpful, and in the end I went Garmin. I do not regret my decision one bit! I’m excited to see how my day-to-day health and life can improve now that I have this tool. Great products, and great staff! Thanks guys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice compact fitness tracker I switched from another fitness tracker to Garmin because for a comparable price the vivosmart4 does far more. Additionally, I like the fact that there are several configurations of the main face to include various quick reference info. It's easy to read and not bulky. The only downside for me personally, is that I cannot wear this one on my ankle as I did my previous tracker, but that's fine, this one is a definite upgrade with which I am happily pleased. I absolutely recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An Excellent Tracker The Garmin Vivosmart 4 is a superb device. It not only tracks your activities and your exercise. It also tracks your health. And factors of your health that are vitally important to maintaining good health. It's a brilliant device. And since I've started using it, I have learned so much about my body's patters, like my sleep, my heart rate, and energy level. It's fantastic. Using it and wearing it has made me a solid Garmin customer for life. Thank you Garmin for creating it, and making it. Thank you so much.

I had burns from my Fitbits. I want to avoid EMF radiation and still count steps etc., and the VIVO 4 lets me do that. My one complaint is the heart rate tracker has been inaccurate during workouts. I hope that can be fixed. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the many features of this little smart watch, and it looks nice too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I am looking for I recently purchased my vivosmart 4 and it is everything that I have been looking for in a watch/fitness tracker. It is small and stylish, and is not uncomfortable on my wrist. Every day I learn something new about cool features that it has. The Garmin Connect app is user friendly and provides a breakdown of everything you want to know about your device and more. One unique feature is that it tracks your pulse ox and correlates that with your sleep cycle and stress level throughout the day. Even when I am tracking my workouts, it will even log my workout and count my reps during my strength training. Not to mention the battery is incredible, and I can go several days (5 to 6 days) without a charge. I am definitely impressed by Garmin and am looking to continue business with them. Overall a high quality product and worth every dollar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very comfy, great features and app I received it a few days ago. Band is smaller than anticipated, but very flexible. In comparison to my Apple Watch, the significantly smaller size, light weight, and thinner band and buckle make it comfortable to wear while sleeping and even while typing on my notebook and desktop computers. With the Apple Watch, I found myself frequently taking it off because the thick strap and buckle dig into the under side of my wrist with these activities. Garmin app is very pretty and makes tracking of goals appealing. The reason for 1 star off is that it doesn’t sync all the time. I have to manually go into the app to get it to sync. Also, I keep getting the 2 windows to set up the watch even though I already went through this process several times. Now, I just ignore those screens since I can’t figure out how to get rid of them. Also, although the small size is comfortable, I’m still trying to get used to the small face which makes things a little difficult to read. I’m also concerned that the band might break. Unlike other fitness trackers, there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the band. So, if it breaks, it will very likely be useless. I understand reviews about inaccurate pulse ox, heart rate and activity readings. In the beginning, I frequently had these same issues. However, I do believe all of this has improved over time as it learns how to read my body. I bought it for pedometer and activity tracking and it serves very well in these capacities. I would recommend this for anyone with these needs who is looking for an affordable fitness tracker that is comfortable enough to wear all day and night.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall a very good slim fitness tracker As the title says I found the vivismart4 toe be a very good fitness tracker for a person that does not want to wear a watch. The setup was easy and Garmin Connect app is very good, The way tracking stats are presented are easy to understand/interpret and well presented. It can only be bluetooth connected to one device-- so, you can pair the device with either your phone or tablet, not both, I believe this to be "somewhat" of a limitation.However, to be fair once your paired bluetooth device is synced the info is broadcast to all other mobile devices. I was not aware of this and was quite frustrated when I tried to pair it to my tablet-- it kept trying and failed. It would be nice if Garmin connect app can notify the user if he/she tries to pair it to another mobile device.

While it is no Apple Watch it does have some pros - battery life is obviously longer - I don’t have to charge it daily. It measures blood oxygen levels and sleep as well. However, it is not quite as intuitive or responsive, and there’s definitely an adjustment. I’m still not 100% sold on it, but I’m giving it some time to compete first.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I’m hyped I’ve only had it for a couple of days but I can already tell I’ll be wearing this for a while. It’s comfortable, slick and I can wear it with my uniform. All the info this gives you about your body is amazing, totally worth it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New User I have been using it for about 2 weeks and am still getting use to it. So far, I really like it. I'd been using a Fitbit for years and I haven't learned all the ins and outs with my Vivosmart 4 yet. Price was right, fits perfect and I can take it swimming. I needed a heart monitor and still wanted other features I had on my fitbit which the V4 has. If it keeps up as it has, I will definitely give it 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I just bought this after researching multiple brands. I wanted a smaller tracker and one that was easy to use without being a smartwatch. Sometimes it is a little tricky to navigate having just icons, but that's the tradeoff. It helps motivate me to be more active which is what I wanted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very accurate, band lacking I have had it a few days. I am currently enrolled in cardio rehab and able to find that it is very accurate. My only issues are that the band is not changeable so am concerned if it should get damaged. I also bought this not realizing there is a version sold as "large". Which would have been a better fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving It! I was initially hesitant to purchase the Garmin, but after considering the reviews and a friends thumbs up on an older model, I went with it. I love the features - especially the sleep tracking as I have sleep apnea... I figure the data will help my doctor further my case. Everything else aside; I really like the comfortable fit, and the accuracy is commendable - I was surprised how close it was to the maps for the area. Overall, though I'm still learning the unit (which is why the four star), I'm really glad I bought this. GO Garmin!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The most user UNfriendly tracker ever!!!!! This is a joke to be called a activity tracker. whoever named it smart???? It's only good to track weather temperature. You can't customize the watch face. You can't read text messages. You can't customize widgets. It displays weather temperature more than steps. You have to keep scrolling through to get to the steps reading. ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH. Fitbit is much more user friendly and does a better job.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not sure yet I got this for my birthday. Have only used it for a couple of days. I'm not sure if I'm completely satisfied yet. I like the design, except for not being able to change the band. I fear that the watch portion or the band may not last long. Have been down this road before. There are many, many features but when it vibrates, the notice disappears before I even can see what it is. It vibrates so many times, I don't know if it is a warning of something wrong or something else. And I really don't like having to check my phone to see my steps. The stair climbing is definitely not accurate which makes me wonder if rate rate, etc. are right also. Have been a long time Fitbit wearer. I only got a Garmin so I could join with my family. But right now I am liking my Fitbit more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This device helped save my life I know the title above may seem a bit too much, but it is the truth. I'm physically disabled and every day I get Physical and Occupational therapy. My therapists have always instructed me to check my oxygen and heart rate. The VivoSmart 4 is the ONLY smart watch band thingy that gets both done, that I'm aware of, in real time without having the need of a smart phone. It is vital that I be able to check my O2 levels, and having a finger smart meter isn't always convenient or available. One day, after finishing my required exercises on my own, I felt funny. Normally I would ignore it and continue on or take a break. Then I remembered the warnings from my therapists, but couldn't find the finger monitor. Thankfully my vivosmart was on my wrist, not sure why I didn't check with that first, but grateful I was. After a minute or so wait, it alerted me that I had only 70% oxygen and my heart had 144 bpm. This was a serious situation, but with no finger meter, had I not have THIS wrist band, I would have stupidly sluffed it off instead of taking appropriate action and saving my life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little fitness tracker I just received my vivosmart 4 a few days ago to replace my damaged miband 3 and I'm glad I made the upgrade. The connect app has much more info to use in planning a fitness schedule. I also really like how streamlined the band itself is. Very sleek and stylish. Being able to change my music with it as well as seeing what's playing is pretty sweet too. So far the only thing I can count against my vivosmart is that the idle alert is hit or miss. Mine actually went off telling me to get up and move... While I was in the middle of a workout. Not the greatest at detecting idle situations, but that's not a deal breaker. Maybe a firmware update can fix the idle alert bugs, but if not I'll just keep it turned off. Gets a bit annoying when I'm working on something at my computer anyway.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Confirmed suspicions with my heart I had suspicion that there was something off with my heart and this one was recommended after several searches and reviews. I am grateful to have purchased one. After several abnormal heart beats detected by the watch I talked to my doctor. I wore a professional heart monitor and had blood tests done to confirm I had something going on with my heart and am working with my doctor to address those needs. *Note this is not a medical device, I sought professional medical advice from my doctor about my heart. I also love seeing my sleep score - which allows me to give myself grace on nights I didn't sleep well (more coffee and breaks away from the computer at work on those days). Lastly, the body battery has been interesting and quite accurate! It's an interesting concept to explain to someone but it isn't lying to you. You will be told when you're tired. I love how small and sleek it is. Battery lasts about a week depending how active you are. On adventurous weekends it last more like 4-5 days. All in all, it just confirmed a lot of what I was thinking but now I can actually have some data to review on a daily basis.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Features It took me a month to figure how to. Sync it to my phone. Finally I got a hold of customer support. It took an hour and a half on the phone with them to get it working. I was exhausted and was hoping this product was worth it. Customer support was very knowledgeable and patient. So I have only been using this product for a week and a half. I like all the features. It seems to work pretty good. My watch started giving me laps when I was hiking. Not sure what that was all about. I go my miles and not steps. I like how the miles are also recorded. The bummer part is when you charge it you are losing data. They have sleep data on here so if you charge it at night you lose the nights sleep data. During the day you lose step data. So it can't be accurate all the time. So far every three days I need to charge mine. I am still learning everything about it. I give it a thumbs up. This is my first experience with a recording watch like this so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this tracker! I have had my tracker for a couple of days and am having a blast with it! My son got a vivofit jr2 and we have had step challenge every day now. We are having a lot of fun this summer trying to outperform each other. Having him see the number of active minutes he participates in throughout the day as well as him try to beat me with his step count is very motivational for him. I also love how this keeps an accurate heart rate. I compared it with the one on my spin bike and it was bang on the money! I want to make sure I am getting the most bang for my buck when I work out and the heart rate monitor helps a lot. My teenage daughter is asking for one now as she already does an hour of exercise a day but wants to see her heart rate as well to get the best workout she can. Thanks, Garmin, for keeping myself and my kiddos motivated to keep exercising as a family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from MY Garmin Vivosmart 4 Responds well. No lag time. Does everything I want a fitness tracker to do. Nice slim, modern design. Very well fit for a female - especially for a small wrist. Nice added feature of knowing what your oxygen saturation is while sleeping. Maybe they could add this feature even when not sleeping - better yet when exercising. I haven’t tested it yet but love that this is a waterproof tracker. Looking forward to wearing it while swimming! Only reason I gave a 4 star is because the HR - it’s not always accurate, this has a lag time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Way better than what I expected! I bought this to monitor my heart rate, so that if my heart rate exceeds 100 bpm, during an argument with my spouse, I will know it is time to retreat and think things over, before coming back to resolve conflict. This product comes with so much more, than what I expected, compared to what I got with a high end Fitbit, that I was sorely disappointed with. For close to what you can pay for an "upper" low end Fitbit, you get way better features (last Fitbit, bought in 2016). With the Vivosmart 4, I can open music on my phone, get and view phone texts, calendar alerts, notifications to get up and move around, set timers, calculate mile walked using my phones gps...the list goes on and on. I paid $130 for my Vivosmart 4, thinking it was a cheap product, that would meet my heart rate monitoring needs; WOW! Was I wrong, for what I paid, I am super impressed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect! I bought this Garmin vivosmart 4 after researching a ton of health trackers, watching a ton of reviews, and making pros and cons lists on each one. I liked its size and lightness, as i hate wearing anything on my wrist. I liked the tiny screen, i didn't want something big and chunky getting in the way as i am the clumsy sort. It had several of the things i was looking for: waterproof, measures blood oxygen, detailed sleep analysis, stress detection, calorie counting, and i adore the body battery analysis. I bought this product, not for training or weightloss, but because i have idiopathic insomnia, and RA. This really helps me know how well my body is doing each day, when my stress levels are too high, and when my heartrate jumps up due to anxiety. It allows me more control over my health. And i like knowing how much i am actually moving around each day (which turned out to be not enough.) Now, this is almost perfect. A few changes and it would be absolutely perfect. The way it charges, kind of sucks. It's a lot of trail and error. I will hook it up, it shows that it's changing, but an hour later it hasn't changed at all, because it wasn't connected perfectly. That can be a bit stressful. If it was the type of device that plugged in like a phone, or had wireless charging, that would be great. The screen needs some work. The size and shape is fine, i like it's dainty features. But the plastic of the screen is slightly domed. It being dome shaped leads to scratches and the possibility of being banged up against things and damaged. If the screen was flattened or even a bit concaved, it would protect the screen better, and i could use a screen protector on it. I don't like the texture of the band. It catches on my clothes and gets dirty easily. A smoother more skinlike silicone texture would make it easier to wear/keep clean. I wish this had two more features.. I wish it could tell you your blood pressure and body temperature throughout the day. That would be an amazing benefit for health cautious people like me, and it would be great for older people to manage their health better. Overall, this is a great little tracker and i am really enjoying it. I love the detailed app as well. I will definitely be recommending this product to everyone i know.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's not working right, not tracking many features I'm very disappointed so far actually. I love the feature it is supposed to track...and it was set up great for a few hours. But later that day, it stopped tracking my oxygen/ body battery and stress. I found some ideas to fix it online, and removed the app, reset the watch, started all over, and it worked! Then several hours later, it stopped again. I can't go through this process everyday. I have an iphone 8 software version 13.3.1. Can you help fix this? I'd be happy to give it 5 stars 'IF' if worked. I really want it to work. Please help.

I bought it for the oxygen monitoring and it appears to work great. The only things I don't like are that the time text is not bright like my old device and isn't as easy to see when outside or in a bright light area. Also, I have connected it with my iphone, but I can't get it to connect with my Ipad. I would like to be able to look at the stats on my Ipad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to Set-up and use! I have only had the Vivosmart 4 for 3 days, but so far I am loving it. It connected easily to my phone. Only problem I have found is I asked it to share with my My Fitness Pal app, but it is not sending information like it should. The Garmin is comfortable, alarm works well, and reminders are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So much information! This is my first Garmin Fitness Tracker and I'm hooked. This tracker has everything I've been looking for. I was a bit skeptical about the body battery but after a few days I can definitely tell the difference. The band is thinner than other trackers and soft. The vibration is enough to wake me up on it's highest setting. I've challenged my child to a step off on their vívofit® jr. 2. That was a lot of fun. If I could change something, I wish I could change the clock face, I don't care for the current choices. Something that is a combination of a few of the options. However, that isn't a big thing for me. Overall I really like this fitness tracker. I look forward to getting healthy with Garmin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Limited usefulness I bought this to monitor my heart rate while exercising. Unfortunately the heart rate alert feature (that I was seeking) only works during periods of inactivity (you can't set alerts for during exercise that I can find). I thought I would use the heart rate broadcast feature to get around this but 1) When I swim this doesn't work as the movement of the water seems to make the device scroll through screens (so the heart rate doesn't stay visible). 2) When I exercise out of the water, as soon as I get a little bit sweaty the monitor seems to be much less effective. In classes or training sessions my heart rate always reads close to or just above my resting heart rate. I have tried repositioning the wristband but it has not helped. Walking is fine but anything warmer doesn't give anywhere close to an accurate read.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features needs better band Very happy with data the device provides. I do believe adding a Crossfit or functional fitness feature would be beneficial. However I’m not really satisfied with the band. Id recommend a more elastic type band that allows you to move the watch up higher on the wrist in order to facilitate some movements in the gym, Cleans, Snatch, Front Squats etc...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ap offers lots of great insights Only had this around a week now, but am very pleased so far. Battery is lasting nicely, setup was straightforward and easy. The Ap is very nicely arranged, and gives a lot more info than my Fitbit did. I like the sleep tracking features on the vivosmart 4 much more. I've had a Garmin GPS in my car for ten years and it is still going strong, so I have high hopes for this fitness tracker. My only complaint would be to offer a detachable/interchangeable strap, but the strap is very comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's Promising - Nice features that need refining Really nice features and step counts and other measurements were fairly consistent with my Apple Watch S-5 - when it worked. The sleep functionality needs work. Some nights it would show little to no deep sleep and much REM and other nights it would show the opposite. All of this while my actual experience was different. The deal breaker was the difficulty that I had with it synchronizing with my iPhone X. Sometimes it would sync immediately and other times it would take hours. In the end I didn't trust the results, so I returned it. I'd rather have a device with fewer features that was consistently accurate than a many features that are inconsistent.

So I cannot use my Vivosmart4. I have a problem, I am in Ecuador right now (I live here), I bought the Vivosmart4 in a Best Buy Store of Miami.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works good for just activity/sleep tracker I chose this one as I already had a smart watch that I like and didn't want another smartwatch. I went with this mainly due to the HR monitor as my smartwatch does not have that. It is fair on accuracy as I check it against actual pulse taken. I was able to set the notifications for the phone stuff to "off" as I don't need it, the screen is too small for that stuff anyway. I tried the Pulse Ox at night but as it states, using that will deplete the battery in about 4 days vs the 7 day without pulse ox, so I set it back to no pulse ox mode. All in all it seems to be good for tracking daily activity and the app has some intersting data.

Randomly and frequently will say your resting heart rate is over 120. Body battery just depleted until 5 and never recovered, so I was always out of energy. This device just stressed me out more. I had to return, I will revisit fitness trackers when the quality is actually there. Garmin is a great company too, just made a bad product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid purchase if looking for smaller band What I like about this is the fact that it is smaller than some of the other options out there, and I wanted something smaller and lower profile for my wrist. The downside with that is that you can see less on the screen at the same time, but as long as you’re OK with that this is a solid purchase. It does take some getting used to, in terms of exactly where on the small screen you need to press to get some of the notifications and alarms to dismiss (you have to be pretty exact to press the right button). I have also had a few workouts not save and reflect in my phone app … Which may have been because I thought I was clicking on the save button, but due to the small screen I clicked don’t save? A little bit of hiccups transitioning to use this, but still overall pleased.

Never did say how to set it up via computer, just that it could be done. Spent too much time trying to figure out how to do it. The icons are different and are harder to get in to from the screen. If my old one had not broken a band (would have been the 4th replacement) I would not have gotten a new watch. This one was almost the same price as a new band on my old one, since it was on sale. One good thing about it. It is sleek and looks good on a small wrist.

The screen is very responsive, the smaller size is awesome and the screen is very easy to ready. I have only positive feedback so far and recommend the Garmin to all my activity-tracking friends. Two Thumbs Up!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No HR while swimming I bought this to track my heart rate while swimming, as it is advertised as being good for swimming. It may survive the experience, but I discovered setting up the ap that it does not record heart rate while swimming. This should be made explicit in the ads. It may well be wonderful for everything else. I sent it back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great features, but pretty complicated to set up i just received it yesterday, and was on the phone for hours trying to figure out how to set it up to my computer. called Garmin and they got it done, but couldn't get me synced to My Fitness pal. i tried them on line and you Cannot reach them by phone. started today again and spent two hours with Garmin again, and then called Dell with whom i have a contract with and had them work on it. finally got it fixed. it would be so nice if these business would have tech supports that can help people like myself who are computer dummies.

Size is small and I can tell you, you dont know you wearing it. Unreal how they packed all the features in it. I was originally wanting the instinct because it is similar to a g shock in which I was interested except with the smart features. I'm hoping the instinct, which said it was, just like this model. Kudos to Garmin, highly highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inaccurate measurements I bought this about 2-3 weeks ago. I was so excited about the features it had. I have been wearing it everyday. I have been very disappointed with the operation of this device. I’m a nurse, so I’m always always going. But it will alert me that I need to get up and move! What?! The measuring of steps is soooo ridiculous. After being at work for an hour, it will tell me I’ve reached my 10k step goal! What?! One time it told me It detected an irregular heartbeat. I felt my pulse. It was normal rate, rhythm. Finally, the measurements of Oxygen saturation overnight... it measures mine at 78%. I’d be gasping for breath if it was truly that low. I honestly wish I hadn’t wasted my money. I now just wear it as a watch. Which I don’t need.

So far, I like it, however, there are so many great features, but not enough info on how to interpret the data.

Also, the band is so thin and flimsy, I’m hoping it will last because I use it everyday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really like it! This is my first tracker. I wanted a small, simple one. I don’t need GPS, but I did want a sleep tracker, step counter, and calorie counter. The Vivosmart 4 does all that very well. I’d say the sleep tracking is less than perfect, but that’s to be expected. It also sort of tracks weight lifting, and it’d be nice if that was a bit improved. I currently have it set on Auto for weights. I need to keep using it longer to test it more. Since it does the main things I bought it for, and it looks great and is very unobtrusive, I gave it 4 stars. Nice work Garmin!

Now that COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted at my pool, it's been back in the water, and the Garmin vivosmart 4 works quite nicely!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vivosmart 4 I was previously using a fitbit n decided to try this New Garmin vivosmart. Compared with other devices and decided on the vivosmart. It works perfectly well,for all that I needed it to do. Unfortunately; because of my sensitive skin- I seem to be having an allergic reaction to the metal clasp/fastener that touches my skin. Other than that,I would be singing this devices' praises to all? Is there any way that u guys can correct this fastener with a hard plastic or sterling silver? So that it doesn't break me out?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I bought my VivoSmart4 about two months ago and I love it. The battery life is excellent. I've had a few smart watches in the past and was always disappointed with the 1-day or less battery life. This thing lasts 4 - 5 days on a single charge even with the O2 sensor on. I love being able to see all my steps, stairs, calories, energy levels, sleep info, etc at a glance. The device is small and simple and doesn't clash with anything I wear. The small amount of stretch in the band allows me to move it up and down my wrist to accommodate the exercise I'm doing without having to change which hole I'm using in the band. Email and text notifications are simplified, which I find works for me. You can't see the content of the text or email but can see who it's from and for me that's enough to tell if it's likely important or I can wait to check it later. I am 100% happy with this device and would recommend it to everyone!

I particularly like having access to my pulse ox at any time, and the sleep tracker is fascinating. It does nudge me toward better habits, is easy to use, and will almost certainly change my life for the better. I have an iPhone, and I bought this instead of Apple Watch because Apple Watch lacks the pulse ox feature. The Garmin pairs just fine with my iPhone, and the app is simple to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good features but unusable due to rash First time Garmin user. Features are cool. Heart rate sensor, sleep sensor, stress level assessment, exercise tracker. But it’s all worthless when the watch band causes a rash that makes me take it off. This was advertised as something I can put on and forget. But after I did that for 2-3 days I ended up with a painful itchy rash on my wrist that hasn’t healed after a week. To use and accommodate the rash the band caused I started switching the watch around my wrists on different positions. But paying this much attention to this isn’t worth it for me. I’m looking for alternatives. Worst is the band is inseparable from the watch. So I just wasted 100 dollars on a watch that hurts me. To those that don’t get the rash? Awesome, this watch is for you. Otherwise you’ll have to deal with the constant worry of something breaking out, or constant maintenance with washing and switching wrists and so on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hard to use I got this to help keep track of my heart rate, which it barely does. After 2 days of trying to figure out how or why its not monitoring my heart , I gave up. It's a tap tap here, tap tap there, it's quite confusing to use. Not worth the money. I should have put the money toward a fitbit.

The charge hookup is not easy to use. When you plug it in to charge the battery status disappeares and the tracker restarts and does not show the battery charge status. I am sure I will figure it out eventually! The manual does not tell you much. There are all all kinds of things on the display that I can't access by tapping on it or twisting my wrist

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected I am a first-time fitness “wearable” user. After reading mixed reviews and watching some YouTube reviews, I was a little worried I wasn’t going to like this watch (it was already ordered and on the way). There were poor reviews on the HRM as well as navigating through the settings, etc. But I love it. The HRM varies only 1-5 bpm from my Wahoo TikR HRM that I wear during DDP Yoga and I find the navigation easy! The body battery feature seems fairly accurate as well as the sleep monitoring. I’ve had it only 3 days but am fond of it so far. I am disabled (SCI) and unable to properly assess walk/run features and step counting, but it suits my purposes well. I see no need to purchase a more expensive watch since this has all the features I would ever use given my disability.

I love how light weight and comfortable it is, I generally don't like stuff around my wrist or arm, but the vivosmart 4 has been easy to wear. I also like how adjustable and flexible it is, it's not too tight or too loose. The face plate is the perfect size, its not too small or too big. While I'm still learning the features, it just has so many options. I love how you can customize it, to sync with your phone, goals, and to only monitor for certain things. I also love how quickly your info and steps update.

I got a Samsung Active2 smart watch for Christmas and I loved it, until I realized that everyone around me was getting 2 to 3 times the number of steps that I was and that no matter how I set preferences I only logged 2 of every 3 floors. The vivosmart is a bit slight on floors, but the step count is much more accurate. I even use the sleep features that I had not due to the size of the Active 2. It is attractive to wear also. I have the purple band.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pathetic HR accuracy for activities. Cyclist here. Vivosmart 4 does a terrible job reading HR while working out on the bike. For example, I'll be doing intervals on my stationary bike and my chest strap HR monitor will read out 160 bpm while my Vivosmart is at 95 bpm. This is while wearing the device as directed: not too loose but not too tight and two fingers up from where the hand meets the wrist. Totally unreliable. It seems to do a better job at detecting resting HR but the level of poor performance at intensity does not give me confidence that it will be accurate enough to accurately inform Garmin's other features such as stress detection, Body Battery, or sleep monitoring. Those are the features I purchased the device for and it's a big let down to not have high confidence. I don't have any experience with other optical, wrist-worn HR monitors so I can't say where Garmin falls in relation to the competition. Touch screen isn't flawless which can be annoying, and neither is the automatic display when you turn your wrist. It's a good size and the Garmin Connect app (mobile and desktop) is fun to explore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incorrect mileage I know this device doesn’t have gps but when I use the run feature it overestimates my distance by a good mile, that seems like a lot. Also I’m struggling to keep the band clean, residue doesn’t wipe off that easily. Otherwise I like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Great Everyday Product of Good Value First off I have never owned a smart watch or a health tracker before I purchased this Vivosmart 4. I have only used this device for a couple of days 8/17-19. I am the type of person who does not like to ware watch let alone sleeping with it on. Honestly I have worn it for a couple of days straight, with the exception of having it on in the shower and the only con I can live with is it sometime gets caught we I roll over in bed, which I like to do alot. For that very reason, I opted with the Vivosmart 4 because of its small size. The band is really flexible and sometime take a bit to put on due to it being so light weight. I do enjoy the Vivosmart 4 and its acclaimed 7 day passive battery life, soon to be test, and will use it every day now. The intended purpose was to track my heart rate and body energy levels, and to pair it to my Edge 520 Plus for cycling down on my trip from Nor Cal to So Cal along HWY 1. There are now other features on this device that I now see as useful like sleep tracking, remote playing music, etc. I also wanted to not have to ware a separate heart rate monitor that at times cab be constricting around the chest. If I can edit this review later after my trip I will discuss more about the pros and if any cons. I know these have just recently come out and could not find them in stores, but got this black one from Amazon. I did not look through the online owners manual untill after I solved these issues, for did not come inside the purchased box. This would of saved some of my time and is NOT Garmin's fault, just my own for not reading. Anyways, this is a special case post below and is to help anyone with the same issues as did I. The first issue which I solved, it being a new released product and it might be just a software thing, is that pairing the Vivosmart 4 with the Garmin connect app took some time about 20 minutes. I do have a Samsung Note 5 that does not have problems so far, FYI. I tried many time and was not clear on which pin verifications to use...the SN# 6 digit number on the back of the Vivosmart 4 or the pop up window 4 digit 0000 or 1234 pin verification. Finally a pin popped up on my Vivosmart 4 that allowed me to pair with my Edge 520 cycling computer. This was probably due to the short time out feature on the Vivosmart 4 that turns off the display to say battery life. The last issue which I solved was my Vivosmart 4 Heart rate connection with my Edge 520 Plus was not connecting. I thought I just had to go into the 520 device list and to Heart rate sensor settings and press on the connection button. After a while nothing worked so I went into the Vivosmart 4 settings and selected the symbol of a person with a heart. Then there was a symbol of a heart with the Wi-Fi looking symbol and I pressed that. It said broadcasting and then the Edge 520 Plus almost immediately found the Vivosmart 4 heart rate monitor. Problem solved. That's pretty much it for this review. Again hope to update on how well this Vivosmart 4 will ware into my life rather than ware out. I am getting a screen protector for the front and underside of the Vivosmart 4. They are inexpensive and a must to have when doing any workout activity involving motion. Hope those who buy this device will enjoy it to. P.S. sorry for using the word Vivismart 4 quite often, just used it as a clarification word and am in no way sponsored to use it this many time, lol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A lot of features for such a tiny device! Moved to this from my Samsung fitness tracker- I am blown away by the performance and features this little guy has. Battery life is amazing, the body battery is a great reference as you go through the day. Only negative is the band is part of the device- if the band fails or breaks you cannot replace it- that is a terrible design on Garmin's part.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Get one if you want to know yourself. I was skeptical about most of the activity trackers (especially the cheapest ones) on Amazon, and since I was a first time buyer I didn't want to have a bad experience, so I went to best buy and picked up 2 at the store. I recommend this product. However do be aware of the fact that the screen is thick (due to water resistance) and you have to 'double tap' a little hard to select from the menus. The music controls are basic and only works for Google music (Android) and freezes sometimes. It has a very intuitive (app) and sleek design that is GREAT IF YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A SMART WATCH.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SO much better than a Fitbit I had almost given up on wrist-worn fitness trackers because the most important thing to me was accurately counting steps, and Fitbit’s Alta was dismal at that. Literally, it only counted every other step, UNLESS my arms were not swinging, because I was carrying a tray at a food court or something, or carried it in my pocket. The Vivosmart 4, as far as I can tell, is spot-on, and all the other features are as well, including the heart rate monitor. I don’t find navigating the screen difficult at all. This thing counts steps and does all the other things it’s supposed to do brilliantly, AND I get to wear it on my wrist. Also, the stretchy silicone strap is really comfortable, unlike the plastic Fitbit bands. I would recommend this tracker to anyone who is finally fed up with Fitbit’s lack of accuracy. The only Fitbits that count steps correctly are the kinds that clip on, and one of those has been discontinued. It took me a while to look beyond the Fitbit brand for something else, and I’m so happy I did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything you need in such a compact design! I love the sleekness of the watch. It's nice and slim, not bulky like others, and the strap has a little bit of a stretch to it that allows it to form around your wrist nicely. It has a lot of features packed into such a small watch, and I love it. Other similar watches, from other companies, dont seem to have as many features and options as this one does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not bad... The small size is nice, as I don't want to wear a 'chunky' device on my wrist. But I don't like the fact that the HR does not show on the display (unless you tediously flick and tap the dickens out of the device to do so....yaaaay….my Fitbit Charge 3 shows my HR constantly). I don't like the app's display, either. FitBit's is much better for displaying my sleep details. But here's where Garmin 'beats' Fitbit.....Best Buy's Geek Squad warranty does not apply to Fitbit, but DOES apply to Garmin devices. So there ya' go. If you have problems with your Fitbit (which I HAVE), you have to call an 800 number, do several 'back and forth' emails, etc. to get service. If you buy a Garmin at Best Buy.....you get an automatic replacement with the Geek Squad warranty. It all depends on what you want. I want SERVICE NOW...…

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the Sleep Features and SpO2 Sensor! Pro: Lightweight and comfortable. Seems accurate on steps. Sleep tracking is very detailed and seems accurate. SpO2 sensor is great. Cons: Strap isn't replaceable, so when it breaks, the tracker has to be replaced too. Floor tracking is hit or miss. There's no connected GPS! Heart rate tracking isn't accurate for high-intensity workouts. Doesn't detect heart rate above 125. I'll probably add a Forerunner 45s for training. I'm a walker, not a runner. Too bad Garmin's running watches don't have walking workouts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from When it works, it’s great I got mine for Christmas this year, because I’ve really getting into eating right and exercise the past couple years. Let’s start with what I love about it. The color, mine is black, it’s sleek, comfortable and great that I never have to take it off! Even in the shower, or swimming! I love the different ways to monitor things, like heart rate, steps, stress, calories. But here’s what needs to improve. The manual it comes with, should be more descriptive, like a manual! It doesn’t tell you how to really use anything! I’ve had to look up YouTube videos, which is a total pain. Next is the connection to your smartphone, super annoying that you basically have to carry your phone everywhere you go or else your watch buzzes “disconnected from phone” and even if you aren’t close enough, “buzz” then when you come back in range, buzz again saying reconnected! So a little annoying, because them I’m like was my work not recorded since I wasn’t in range? Who knows. Lastly I suggest creating one that also monitors BP. Would be an excellent added widget! Watch may need to be bigger, but it’s just another option to have at least. Overall it’s great to use for fitness needs with a few minor hiccups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good for the price I have been using the Vivosmart for about 6 weeks. I like it, and love the size, but there are limitations. I would like more flexibility in settings (ie heart rate zones, treadmill settings, etc). I love the body battery; it’s helpful in keeping track of other aspects of my life. My ideal: a smart device with a smaller size similar to the Vivosmart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very useful This is my first health watch. I was always reluctant to get one host because it's not my style, but mostly because I would have to wear it all the time. I think it's great to have data of your day, it makes you more conscious about the choices you have and how to make the best out of them. I like the prompts to get up and get moving. My job requires me to sit for the majority of the day, sometimes hours go by and I'm concentrated at work so I don't even notice. These notifications help me take breaks. Go downstairs, get water, breath etc. Also the data about sleep is amazing. I know I'm a light sleeper, but it also shows you the REM time, deep sleep and awake lapses. How many hours you get. Overall it helps me want to be healthy to reach the goals of the day and take better care of myself. And I like wearing it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the heart rate and sleep data Bought the vivosmart 4 a couple of months ago and although I've barely scratched the surface of its many features I love the feedback on how well I'm sleeping and the heart rate during my workouts. I had already purchased a heart rate monitor comprised of a watch type unit that is paired with a "transmitter and band" that is worn around the chest... but you have to dampen the back of the transmitter and it tends to be hit or miss... a bit of a pain... whereas the V 4 just takes a few screen presses and I'm off and running.. well walking... literally! I would probably up the rating to 5 stars once I understand all of the features. And so it goes...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ease of use I have had my Vivosmart 4 for four days. The 1st thing I noticed right away was how small this one is. It fits perfectly on my slender wrist. It doesn't get caught on my clothing when I am changing. And it doesn't get stuck under the sleeve of my long sleeve shirts. It's light. Most of the time I forget that its on me. The band is light weight and it doesn't stick to my skin during normal routine activities. (It does stick to my skin after I have been training. But I will not doc any points because once I shower and my skin is dry, the wrist band moves easily across my skin again.) Easy to use. This one is so easy to use. Just swiping up or down and tapping. Thats it. The app is pretty straight forward. I didn't have to guess where a certain feature may be hiding within the app. And the app is easy on my eyes. There are no real bright colors that hurt my eyes when my surroundings are dim. This watch connects to my gyms fitness app. So it is really easy to track my progress and do online challenges. Best Buy offers their warranty for this watch. I won't buy a smart watch/fitness watch without an extended warrenty The price of this watch was very nice. Its one of the cheaper ones, but it has all the features that I want or need. On a side note: I have owned the fitbit Versa and the Samsung Galaxy watch. There is 1 star missing from a 5 star review because I do not know how long this watch will last. How long will this watch last before it starts glitching?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Grief, I just got the sill thing... I have only had it for a few days, so it is really to early to give you a complete and accurate evaluation. That being said, there are several things that I do like: 1) I have been using it for less than a week and it hasn't broken. That is a big plus as the last unit I had (not a Garmin) went dark after only five days. 2) I really like the band and the way my vivosmart 4 fits --- If the band can give me a year or two without breaking then I will feel like I have really got my money's worth. 3) My vivosmart 4 appears to do a much better job of tracking my heart rate than any of my previous devices (also not Garmins). This is quite important to me. I can often tell from the way I feel that my heart rate is trending a certain way and so far the vivosmart 4 has definitely mirrored my thoughts. I have yet to spend much time worrying about set-up or dealing with custom features --- Ask me for another review in a few weeks and I'll be able to go into more depth on this stuff. In the meantime, let's all keep our fingers crossed...

I like the garmin software better than the fitbit, and the tracker is much more comfortable on my wrist because it's so much thinner. A win all around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome All-in-One Fitness Tracker I've owned another brand "health set" for about a year now but started looking for a viable replacement that better fit me and my needs. While I've been very happy and it is an awesome product, my current tracker was designed more for "elite" athletes and less for people like me. I loved the HRV stats, sleep tracking, and activity tracking but the still developing integrations and obvious overkill for an aging, worn out, surgically repaired person like me needed something else. So I bought the Vivosmart 4 to test against the expensive device I already had to see what it brought in comparison. It's been 2 and a half days of head-to-head comparisons and I have to say I'll be selling the more expensive current one and keeping the Vivosmart 4!!! The style is low-key compared to other brands. The display is intuitive but minimal but it should be IMO. It is responsive to activities and does a great job of step tracking and activity identification/recording. The alerts and notifications are useful but I have a Wear OS smartwatch that handles that function like a champ. My phone alerts were disabled except for the Garmin Connect alerts...which makes the Vivosmart 4 even more awesome! The 24/7 heart rate monitoring, steps, intensity minutes, floors walked, stress monitoring, calories burned, sleep metrics, Pulse OX, and numerous other stats are beautifully displayed in easy to see and understand "cards" that expand into more data when clicked. Comparing these points to similar ones on the high end more expensive device revealed nearly identical in some aspects and better in others. The sensors in the Vivosmart 4 are top end without the price to boot. There are even some stats that the more expensive one didn't measure (like stress levels, body battery) that have been more informative and helpful. Charging is fast also and battery life, even when nearly every bell and whistle is being used is some of the best I've seen; I'm nearly three days into heavy use and haven't even hit 50% used yet. Add in things like guided breathing and alarms on the band and you have more than you could imagine with all the insight you could ever need. And if that isn't enough, it integrates with numerous other fitness apps both through the Garmin Connect app and the band itself that you will never be without a a total fitness package. I am truly impressed with the product Garmin has put out. They have made a skeptic into a fan for sure!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dissapointed - returning I purchased this a month ago and plan to return. I am an extremely active Mom of 2, crossfitter and avid walker and have never hit less than 10k steps a day. Ever since wearing the Vivosmart4, I’m barely getting 5-6k steps a day. I have been wearing my husbands Suunto and my old FitBit to compare at the same time and the Garmin is significantly off each time. When the Suunto and Fitbit have me at 10-12k steps, the Garmin only has me at 5-6k. This is frustrating and inaccurate. I’ve reset to factory settings, synced, you name it and nothing changes. I would not purchase this or another Garmin again. The look of the watch is beautiful and sleek but accuracy is important to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It died after 1 week This is a bad introduction to the quality of this watch. The installation directions did not say a "pin" was required to set up the app. I had to call customer service to obtain a pin and sync the watch to the app. There was no manual with the watch (for those of us not used to using technology for such fancy items, a manual is needed) so I had to request a manual. The customer service lady was great and very helpful. A week after I started wearing the watch, the display went black and would not charge with the attachment to connect to my outlet charger. I tried multiple outlets, several times, but the display did not come back on. My outlet charger worked to charge my other devices so the problem was definitely with the watch. Again I called customer service. The man was nice and sad the charging unit that attaches to the watch is sometimes faulty and he'd send me another one. I was very happy with the watch, when it worked, but I don't have extra hours to spend troubleshooting. I'll try this charger that Garmin is sending me, but if it doesn't work, then I won't keep the watch. In all fairness, I can't give the watch a 5, even though I liked it because it's not usable at this time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features and app I’ve been wearing this thing for almost a week, and it’s fairly solid while feeling thin and light. It’s easy to start and save workouts, and the detail it senses is synced to app. Garmin Connect is also simple and has great features, but it displays a different color vivosmart 4 (mine is black) and I’m not sure if I got one with the program or parts of a rose gold unit (shouldn’t effect performance tho).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New to Garmin I just received my tracker yesterday. I set it up and wondered if I would like it. I had a Fitbit charge 2. I switched to Garmin because they had the better reviews. Anyhow. Today is the first test day. So far from what I've seen... I love it! I'm only giving it 4 stars because it's new to me. After a while I will revisit my rating and decide if it should go up or down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unimpressed so far My vivosmart4 arrived yesterday and I managed to figure out how to get it set up and paired and synced with my iPhone. It worked for a couple of hours and then I was unable to sync to my phone or make any changes. Spent 48 minutes on the phone today with a lovely customer service rep but still not able to sync - apparently my timing for purchase was bad (?) - and there is a big update happening today which is being blamed for this.How often will this happen is what I'm wondering now, even if it is resolved overnight? I will give it one more day but after that I'll be returning this if not fixed; too much worked aggravation for a tracker!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fits my life perfectly I bought a Fitbit Inspire HR, and spent half the day trying to get it to work with my Mac. It turns out they quietly dropped their support for syncing with non-mobile devices. I am done with Fitbit. I checked into the Vivosmart features and decided to give it a try. Garmin Express works beautifully with my computer and the band. It syncs with Cronometer, which I use for nutrition tracking. It is a great band. I do not typically like wearing watches, but the Vivosmart is comfortable and unobtrusive enough to wear 24/7.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Complicated setup It took hours to get connected to Bluetooth, and by the next day I lost the connection. I called customer support and it took almost an hour for him to help me get setup. Once the watch was working, I like it. Since, I found out that the wristband cannot be replaced,which means once the band breaks the watch is useless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall pretty good product For the most part the vivosmart 4 works as promised. I really like that I can find my phone using the vivosmart as I am always misplacing it around my house. The one feature that does not seem to be accurate is the stairs climbed feature. It only records the stairs climbed once in while, I would guess one third of the time. I looked at the manual and it said to rinse the back of the watch where the tiny holes are and then let it 'air dry'. I did that but it did not fix the problem.

The instructions did not explain that the device # would appear on the screen after you initiated the process. So I was entering a 9 digit number found on the underside of the device. After I got that figured out, the device and the app are great. Very intuitive set up for all settings and options. Overall a very useful tool for monitoring your progress.

I was really impressed with the app that goes with the tracker and all of the information that is pulled from this little tracker. The reminders to get up and move are helpful and I think the sleep information may drive me to getting a sleep study done. The linking to the UHC Motion app is great, which really encourages me to meet the goals to earn $$.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and Sleek I am not a normal watch wearer so when I purchased the Apple Watch I hated the bulkiness to it. I was initially impressed by its numerous features but found them unpractical over time. I kept on hitting the back of my hand against its side when doing push-ups or other various exercises. Selling it I searching anew, I wanted a low profile fitness watch which great features and turned to Garmin’s Vivosmart. It did not disappoint. The watch has all the necessities such as time, date, and weather easily assessable. All the monitors packed into this guy is quite amazing and it’s Bluetooth capability allows me to pair with my phone for music and GPS. After using the app to customize my settings and stride it became a data center for me bettering my health. I find myself checking the app multiple times over the course of the day to see if I’m on track. Also did I mention the battery almost lasts for a week? I can’t tell you how convenient that is. The only negative I have is that the touch screen is a bit finicky at times. With such a small screen I suppose that is to be expected. All in all I am highly satisfied with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall great information I got this for Xmas and have been wearing it only a few days. So far my experience has been good. I synced it with my fitness pal for my food consumption and that was seemless. It is not as sensitive as it should be to taps and swipes with my finger when I’m wearing it. But that doesn’t bother me much. To see any real data you have to look at the app on your phone, it syncs really quickly with the watch. The options on the watch face don’t give you much detail just basic information when selected, again need to go to the app for that level of detail. Display is nice and easy to see. Watch battery so far is great! One charge in 4 days and still going strong-I’ve been wearing it 24/7. Overall good purchase for getting me back into moving more and exercising.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Many good points, still some cons Overall I'm happy with my purchase. The Vivosmart 4 has a lot of great features packed into a tiny package. It is light and slender, almost to the point where you wish the miniature screen were just a tad bigger. And it easily could have been while still retaining a very compact form. For a silicone band like most fitness trackers and watches usually have these days, this one has a pretty nice feel to it and seems a better quality than is typical. It is very comfortable, and not the large chunky plastic look you see on many competing devices. It fastens securely with a metal buckle and keeper that has an extra nub on it to lock the end in place. This is nice as some others tend to come loose and may fall off during strenuous activity, and I have lost one hiking in the woods before due to that. On the downside Garmin has made a glaringly poor choice in building the watch right into this band. We all know that when you wear watches 24/7 the bands wear out, but the watch itself should last much longer, especially any device that would cost significantly more to replace than buying a new band. But when this band wears out, or the buckle or keeper strap breaks, you are going to be stuck with an expensive device you can no longer wear. And fitness trackers in particular are designed to be worn snugly on the wrist with the sensors next to your skin in order track your information properly. I knew that when I bought the watch and am willing to give it a try because it has other features I wanted which competing devices with removable bands did not. Nevertheless I am taking a star off because the band is not replaceable. For the technology, the device does a pretty fair job of tracking your steps and distance, despite the lack of built in GPS. I would have preferred it to have GPS, especially being a Garmin, and would have been willing to pay more. It would be nice if they offered a Vivosmart 4-GPS version to allow the consumer to decide if they want to spend more for the one with GPS or don't need it and opt for the more streamlined version. So thats another reason for only 4 stars. The battery life appears to be very good, even with the Pulse Ox on. Which is fortunate because measuring the Pulse Ox is one of the key features that sets the Vivosmart 4 apart and it would be a nuisance to have to turn it on and off to save the battery. I haven't had it long enough to know for sure how long it would go without charging, but after 24 hours even with Pulse Ox on, it appeared to have gone down very little. Like most of these devices it has a proprietary charger unique to this particular device. Which I also don't like as you are dependent on that one cable, remembering to take it with you and not lose it if you are traveling, etc. And having to carry it around when you travel, not only are you at high risk of losing it, but the cable is more likely to wear out or get a short in it . It would be helpful if they would at least make the usb cord separate so it could plug into the docking cradle with a micro usb, and you could at least easily replace the cord if needed. And then include a spare docking cradle as standard with the device so you could keep one at home you don't have to move and another for travel. On the good side, this charger does clip securely to the device with no fussing to try to get the charging prongs lined up just right like some others. And the watch screen tells you when it is fully charged. However, it won't tell you the perecentage of charge. On the down side, it seems to take an hour or two just to top off the battery when it has barely gone down, so if you let it go the full 5-7 days or whatever it is supposed to last it might take quite a while to charge. There are no buttons on this device. The watch screen is supposed to display when you lift up and twist your wrist to look at it. Most of the time this movement is not not sufficient to display the screen. The other way to get the screen to display is to double tap it. This takes some getting used to, and the screen tapping needs to be fairly light, but tapping too lightly or too firmly and/or frequently won't work well. Once the screen displays, you either swipe the screen vertically to see the other information/choices, like number of steps, floors, calories etc. There is also a little dash at the bottom of the screen which is the menu button - the screen must first be displaying to use this, and then you have to tap it. This will bring up your other options if you want to change settings, or measure your heart rate or Pulse Ox. The monochrome screen is bright enough to read most of the info fairly easily, but the screen is also too small to display very much so not that great if you want to be able to have notifications. While it will work or most of the info without your phone nearby, it wants to stay connected to the phone with bluetooth. If you are connected and moving around the house or yard without your phone and lose the bluetooth signal it will keep reminding you to reconnect to bluetooth. It must have be connected with bluetooth and have location turned on in your phone for the weather icon to work. It also expects you to be consistent in when you go to bed and when you get up, and to name those times in settings. If you are on your weekend and want to sleep in, you either have to remember to change that in the settings or it will start vibrating and giving you reminders that it is time to get up and stretch. The heart rate seems pretty accurate, the stress levels, Pulse Ox, and Body Battery are very nice features. Haven't had a chance to really test out the accuracy of floor counting yet but I certainly hope that works well. Ideally would be nice to see Garmin come out with an upgrade or similar device that includes the features of the Vivosmart 4 with heart rate, Pulse Ox, Stress and Body Battery, plus: -GPS -replaceable watch strap and keeper strap -docking cradle with at least a removable and replaceable cord -slightly (but not much) larger screen for easier reading info and notifications -measure blood pressure -measure hydration levels

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features I got my Fitbit because I have Tachycardia, HBP and asthma (loss of breath). My Fitbit tells me my pulse rate at anytime. It alerts me when my pulse is high and my oxygen level is low through the PulseOx. My doctors will be happy that Garmin’s monitoring through a chart my sleep, pulse, pulse ox, exercise and so many other things.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needs work The connection turns itself off sometime in the night and I am not getting Pulse OX after 4:30am, nothing on settings to fix it. It started out correct then started turning off bluetooth altogether, then now it just stops Pulse Ox. The pulse ox should be reporting 24/7 just like heart rate, that is important for someone like me. The one thing it has done for me is inform me that my pulse ox was too low at night and the doctor has ordered tests for sleep apnea and low oxygen could explain a lot of symptoms. I would also like to be able to print off the daily graphs to show the doctor and the graphs online are different or incomplete. The online site is not up to date with the device or the mobile and does not show the nightly pulse ox graph. Notifications just start up out of nowhere and yes I have made adjustments, but this may be a sign of a problem as it mostly is phone connected and not connected, but even when it says connected it keeps repeating. I did have a problem getting it to sync in the beginning, it took more than an hour just for that and I was extremely frustrated. Overall though the pulse ox, the sleep, the body battery, and stress levels have been very helpful. At some point I will start the activity portion of the program, but for now the health stats are my focus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love how small it is! Got this on Tuesday of this week, so have only been wearing it a couple of days. Love the very small size, like the anonymous display. Bright easy to read display, even outside in bright sunlight. Reading texts as a ticker is not a problem. Very customizable for settings. Vibration can be adjusted. It did seem like it took a long time to charge fully the first time. Will see how long the battery lasts. I have a Vivosport for GPS. I've been a longtime Garmin tracker user, having owned most of them since the Vivofit through Vivoactive 3 and this is in my top couple trackers. I do miss tapping on the heart rate screen and getting a review of the last hour's heart rate graph, which the Vivosmart 3 will display. Maybe that could be added in an update. So lightweight I barely know I am wearing it. Tried PulseOx last night, which was interesting. Keep up the good work Garmin. Each one just gets better and better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great concept and approach.Implementation less so. Purchased three days ago. (1) Only S/M band models available. Only one L model shown on your site. My male wrist are not large, yet my wrist is squeezed just proximal to the ulnar styloid at the third buckle hole from the end of the band! (2) Arguably the three most important data are shown on three separate graphs: Ox, Pulse and Sleep Time. Making these operational requires all three on one screen, as FitBit has accomplished. (3) So far in my experience the ideal size of a similar device is Samsung's Gear Fit 2 (or Fit 3 for that matter). The band is wider by 50 percent and the screen allows addition space for touch, readability and potential apps. This modestly increased footprint is not only immensely more comfortable but is also more attractive in scale for all but the most petite wrist. In summary I find you have good product in the Vivosmart 4. Now it can be made greater still, kept reasonably small, inexpensive while also sporting nearly the same feature set as the larger, mostly unattractive and expensive full smartwatches. For example, I put the Gear S away once I had the Gear Fit 2 and never once looked back. The Gear S screen is 2x the width of the Fit 2 but the Fit 2 has all the utility I and most will require. I'd rate the Vivosmart 4 three stars (average) but elevated to four (good) by virtue of the included SpO2 sensor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It is small! This was part of a health plan (no additional cost). When out walking it will give notifications through vibration. Also vibrates through iPhone notifications, nice. I do like the small size but I can't read the message w/o readers. That is the trade off. You start to figure out the messages after a while though. All in all it is a good motivational tool and does have a lot of features. It has motivated me to get out and move more as well. For the cost it seems like a good value, although this is the only fitness watch I have used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great look, difficult to use I really wanted to love this so much, I love the pretty rose gold look with the grey, I love the slender thin style. I just find this really difficult to use. I cannot easily turn it on or off or anything, it seems finicky to me. I wish it had more ways to do things on it, to see it all in easier to understand ways, maybe on the app to have more details and user guides on there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and Great features Overall, I really like the watch. It was easy to set up and register and I've been enjoying the features. I'm still exploring, but so far this is my impression: Pros: * comfortable - very light and fits on my rather large wrist (was worried from previous reviews it wouldn't fit. I was on the upper end of the s/m range when I measured, but it fits fine.) * Looks great - very unobtrusive and stylish * Loads of data which is great for me. * battery life seems great so far (even with sleep pulse ox on) Quibbles: * O2 seemed slightly off when comparing to a finger model * Thought I'd gone to sleep earlier than I had. This was easily adjusted, though. * I wish the face styles had more options or was modular where you could add preset items to the face in a custom configuration

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Accurate and Attractive I really am impressed with the Vivosmart 4. I have extremely narrow, thin wrists, and this fits perfectly. In fact, it's the only fitness tracker I've ever tried on that actually looks good on my skinny arm. I wanted a tracker that would measure my heart rate as well as count steps, and while researching the features on various trackers, I was intrigued by the "body battery" and stress measurement features on the Garmin. I have found it to be quite accurate all around. This is the best fitness tracker wristband I've ever tried. If you're looking for a slim, lightweight, accurate tracker, this is the one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome smartwatch/ activity tracker I researched every smartwatch and their available functions as well as price. The Garmin Vivosmart 4 was my final choice. It tracks sooo many different activities, keeps constant track of steps taken, levels climbed, heart rate, pulse ox, stress level, body battery. All for prices between $99-$159 depending on the options you choose like accessory bundles or different color Garmin. Only drawback is you can't change bands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best one yet! I just barely got this watch three days ago and it’s changed my life! It is wonderful. I love how it vibrates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First fitness tracker I bought this not only for the fitness tracker, but also for the pulseox monitoring. The Vivosmart 4 not only does those functions brilliantly, but also tracks my diet through Myfitnesspal and syncs those results into my daily fitness stats. I think it is fun to use, motivational and the Berry color is just pretty. Even though I am a novice with this tracker, I already love it and would reccomend it to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stress + SP02 Received my VS 4 in the mail yesterday, actually (2) days before the promised delivery date. Set up seemed fairly easy with no complications, and it seems it could be done by almost anyone. Charge up was as expected. This is a small tracker with a small screen, however, it's still big enough to see well. The packaging was small, and nice. My reasons for purchasing the watch was for the SP02 feature, along with the stress tracking. As to the SP02, mainly, I wanted overnight to determine IF my saturation went low, After wearing only (1) night, it seems somehow the switch was not saved, and it did not track my SP02. Will try again tonight. The manual, or SP02 anytime check seems like it takes a bit too long. As to reason 2 for my purchase, stress, and my response to stress, I really don't understand how Garmin reports a stress of 5, or, anything else. Don't understand the individual tracking items that make up the stress level. So at this time, I don't understand stress either. May have to read a bit. The Body Battery thing, combines HRV, HR, PE and maybe a few other things to arrive at a percentage. I was hoping to see what my HRV was as a single report, and not a report of a combination of things that I'm unclear. As to the other features, HR, steps, and so on, I assume they are in working order, but, as I have not concentrated on those, I really could not say. As to the app, repeat the SP02, needs an objective reading on the app, not as a feature of some other reporting like sleep score or body battery. I hope to be able to have a better report in the coming days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Has problems importing activity I exercised once for 15 minutes, and the device fully captured the activity. Then, I exercised a second time that day for another 15 minutes but the activity wasn’t completely captured. In particular, it showed 15 minutes toward the 150 minutes per week after the first one. But the second one didn’t increase the count to 30 minutes. I will likely return the device and purchase a FitBit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not what expected I recently purchased the vivosmart4 needing a new fitness watch after my old one broke. The watch is nice, slender and great features. The issues I have is that there are no instructions on how to work the features except to go online and watch videos. The music app doesn’t play music, can’t connect to the weather, body energy information seems incorrect even after waking up from my sleep. The screen is a little too small for my liking. I like the idea for the watch but wasn’t overly impressed. I decided to purchase the Venu and see how that one works and return the vivosmart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An overflowing gift of fun I inherited a Vivos from my mom about 6-7 years ago. It was great! Simple and kept me aware of my steps for the day. Then it died. Very sad day. During this pandemic, I didn’t know what time it was, what day it was. I felt like I was in a quarantine bubble, like everyone else. I missed my watch. I had no idea how much it cost, so I looked on the internet. Then I found Vivosmart 4. It was on sale. I like to see things before I buy, but with everything closed...I went for it. It’s slim, it’s elegant, and it has all that I need and a few bells and whistles. So far, so good. Now I know the day, the date, the time, steps, my heart is still pumping, and my stress level needs some work. I’m happy with my purchase! thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not what i expected My fitbit flex was a faithful friend for 4 years. I tried a new fitbit and returned it. All i want is to see my steps and my sleep patterns. The vivosmart would be suited for someone smarter than I am. I dont understand how to turn off features i dont need or want ( text notifications). I am considering returning it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Trying to sleep registers as light sleep It is nifty, and doesn't have the low or high HR errors for me that others have mentioned. However, I was primarily interested in sleep tracking given the number of hours I spend trying to sleep. Trying to sleep registers as light sleep. I tried to train the thing by double clicking and bringing the screen up every so often when I would wake. But, it didn't seem to help. It showed me as sleep while I was clock watching.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good tracker, needs a better UI I like all of the tracking. Good step, HR, and even Pulse Ox. The UI needs some work as it's sometimes hard to navigate or start/stop a workout. Other than a few small tweaks, I would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like the sleep feature, instructions are poor Nice features, especially the sleep, pulse and O2 monitors. But I bought this to track steps and find it complicated - I can't seem to get the steps to show on the device. Overall, the printed and app instructions are too brief and poorly written - hard to figure it out. Chat was busy and email response takes a week - we'll see.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from lots of features but face too small I like the features it has like the oxygen take up % level and the sleep cycle tracking. The phone Garmin Connect app is really good and informative. The watch itself is lightweight but the display face is in retrospect too small for me and my old eyes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Accurate! Informative! Helpful! I just bought this before going to a college game a couple of days ago. It was accurate for all the times I walked, stopped walking, needed to move from sitting so long, etc. After using it for sleep also, the sleeping patterns are accurate! I bought this mainly for understanding how to attack the effects of stress on my body. I broke my C4-C6 with a fusion/bracket so I have physical limitations. I found where I can select heart zones for different levels of activity. I am in awe of this tech especially for the price! I also love how I can select which notifications to receive from phone to watch. I do not want a watch/phone. I want a fitness/stress/heart/pulse ox watch....and that is exactly what I bought! I am so happy I chose this over the other watch companies. I read reviews, including the blogs for the others and Garmin really is the best!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not much to be in awe. It didn't have display features, on the device itself, for an extended period of time. Like, "always on", 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 minues, etc. It shows longer on my cell phone. If I don't have my cell p., I'm stuck. I have to toggle through or kept on "pressing" multiple times just to keep viewing longer, i.e heart rate, steps, sleep, etc..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good and Many Bad Aspects I bought my Vivosmart 4 for myself for Christmas and there are things I am enjoying like the things it measures. However, I find the chart of sleep stages really hard to read because everything is so small and it is impossible to see what the times are because there are just little circles on it. It doesn't measure your "sleep pulse oxygen" all night...just for 4 hours which I don't like and it doesn't seem to measure it even for the whole 4 hours on some nights and the little time-dots don't make sense. The same is true for the stress and heart rate. I wish there were some really good YouTube videos telling you how to get the most out of your device and what the meanings of the readings are. Over all I'm pretty disappointed. The size is small and light, though, and that is really nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple & practical I absolutely love the simplistic design & no-nonsense user face. It's not all flashy or fancy - it gets right down to the point. I have high anxiety & this watch has been amazing with helping me gather myself before I fall apart. I tried sleeping with my old watch in the past, but it was too bulky. I don't have that issue with the Vivosmart 4! I'll actually wake up & forget that I still have it on!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and easy to use with nice features I like this fitness tracker. It's lightweight and easy to use. I like the walking/hiking, cardio, and heart rate features. The heart rate seems to be pretty accurate. One reason I bought this was for the sleep tracking feature, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be very accurate - it labels time that I am awake as "light sleep". I also wish it had a better built-in cycling tracking feature. Those last two items keep it from getting 5 stars, otherwise it's a pretty solid tracker.

I "WAS" a fitbit user but have been converted over to the Garmin side...LOL. Wears the same as my Fitbit tracker but the info that the Vivosmart4 offers I think is way better than the Fitbit. I actually purchased this Garmin tracker because I needed a tracker that would sink with MyFitnessPal. My fitbit sinks with MyFitnessPal but it was only lasting on a charge for about 4 days so I am hoping that the Vivosmart4 lasts 7days like the manufacture says. So far I LOVE it .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Value but can be improved Coming from a Apple Watch this is slim, light weight, doesn’t bother me while I sleep, and include more features than expected. It has the ability to find my misplaced phone, which I loved this feature with Apple Watch. Tracks my walks via GPS, my sleeping schedule, includes a alarm to wake me up, and it even includes stress awareness, and I can receive calls and texts on my watch! Some thing that I would have liked is to change the band, and to be able to use the information from my MyPlate app into this app or the other way around. I’m not sure if I can use my Withings scale app, hopefully I can because that would be a huge let down if I couldn’t.

Although I’ve only had my Vivosmart 4 for three days and had a couple problems at first*, the features are even better than those on the Vivosmart HR that I’m replacing, and the smaller dimensions of the “4” suit me much better than the bulkier “HR.” *I had some trouble setting up and syncing the “4,” and the movement-driven “on” function for the watch face didn’t work — now, all is well.

I have done all updates, I have done resets, I have talked to Garmin reps, and it still won’t sync. Garmin is aware of the issue (there are many people with same problem) and evidently they are working to solve it. My only choices are to return it to original retailer and go back to FitBit or wait for the Garmin techs to fix the problem. Garmin will not replace my watch because they say it works (true. It just won’t sync!).

Movement is crucial for me and I didn't know how badly I needed these reminders.

This gives me everything I need in a smaller, more stylish package. It was simple to pair with my phone, I love the sleep feature, SpO2 ability, and it seems quite accurate.... unlike the Charge 3 that measured me walking while I was in bed! I took a star off only because I’m still learning how to navigate it and am not sure how easy everything will be to find when I’m more familiar with it. I will be back to add a star if everything continues to go well.

I use supplemental oxygen as need, thru-out my daily routine, and I sleep with it. I did testing, with the Vivosmart 4, with supplemental oxygen and without. For the sleep study I compared another device, which I trust for accuracy, which fits on my finger, with the Vivosmart 4, and found that both units are VERY similar in their results. I also tested my PS02 and pulse rate against a spirometer, the numbers were within a point of each other. I am very satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Astonishing!! Ive had this product for a week.. beyond impressed. I deleted Samsung Health due to inconsistent step patterns, miscalculated macros, and a lack of features as well as information. I proceeded to switch to MyFitnessPal and not only were my macros more accurate and detailed.. it autosyncd to Garmin and calculated my caloric intake/defecit consisently throughout the day with my calories burned. Reading the detailed information within the app came with ease, but the simple feature of being able to double tap and graph and scroll minute by minute is absolutely astonishing!! Pulse Ox is a huge benefit that most trackers lack. The sleep tracking is one of the most accurate and consistent diagnostics I have seen. The body battery is a pretty nifty feature as well. Still learning how to make decisions from it but i can tell its based on all the activity, sleep, and food diary input. All in all.. will be buying another one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just love it About one month ago my husband and I started with the Vivosmart. It checks and monitors walking, jogging and stairs! When you don’t think to go in and set it, it is smart enough to do it for you and put your activity in the proper category! Couldn’t be happier with our own health monitoring system!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for me After trying other smartwatches with HR monitors, I find this one does exactly what it says and what I personally was looking for plus more. (Sleep, steps, activity level, stress monitor, pulse ox, works with my fitness ap...). I do not need a watch telling me I have calls, messages, emails, ECT. But yes it does that too. It really is a personal choice, what works for one might not be another's idea of working. I'm very pleased with the Garmin Vivosmart 4 and would recommend it to anyone. I bought it, very pleased with it, encourage those of you looking for a health watch to consider this one. (Can not, will not, or implying to, replace your physician in any way, shape, fashion, or form).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sleep monitoring doesn’t work Just received this Garmin and the sleep times are messed up and every time I correct it, it reverts back to what it was. It is always 4 to 6 hours off

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! This was one of my Christmas gifts. I love the fact that, besides all the great features, it is so light that I can now actually sleep with this device to track my sleep pattern.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love what it does... I love the display options, and especially the fact that its water-resistant. I wish it had voice recognition for choosing from a list of replies to texts... other than that it does everything! - including tell me the weather and temp; day of the week and date; time of course with alarms, and heart functions which can bluetooth my pulse to another device!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still can not get it to work Owners manual difficult to get to. Then no help when I find it. Must repeat operations several times to get it to function.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Many options!! I?ve only had it a couple of days, but so far, it?s good. My only complaint is that the oxygen saturation level is not accurate as I compared it to a pulse oximeter, checking them both together. The Vivosmart 4 was 5 Points lower than the pulse ox. I love the slim fit as I have tiny wrists and many of the devices like this are just too much for me. I love that it measures stress and sleep patterns as well as steps through the day. Overall, I would buy it again.
