One of the most important smart watch features I have been considering is sleep monitoring. Would be awesome to see this incorporated into your reviews. Great job though!
Thanks for adding your wrist circumference and showing some shots on your wrist. It definitely helps for picking between the 4 and 4s when buying online.
Excellent Absolutely critical to watch this multiple times. The manual isn't detailed enough! Great presentation. I saw at least a couple dozen or more things I had no idea I had on my Garmin! I've been searching for a week to figure out what they meant by yoga and pilates workouts! Who knew they had animations on my watch already! Thank you!
Thank you for all of these detailed reviews. I'm looking to break into the fitness watch world. If I'm going to drop a good chunk of change for one of these, I want to do my homework. This and other videos have been very helpful!
Gr8 review. Was about to buy FORERUNNER 245 music but now I will wait to buy Vivoactive 4 in India. Currently own Fenix 3 & Fenix 5x but they lack onboard music. Please do review of vivoactive 4 with strength training and let us know how it fared?
Thanks for the info. I like your delivery and love my instinct, considering the 4s for my wife. Will watch (no pun intended) you earlier review. Keep up the good work.
Great first impressions video! Have you had the opportunity to do a full fitness review of the Vivioactive 4/4s? I was leaning towards getting the Samsung Active 2 but after watching your video on that watch am now leaning towards a Garmin Smartwatch since I rely more on the fitness tracking so need accuracy in that area. Trying to decide between the Vivioactive 4 and the Venu...
i've had the samsung galaxy 2, whilst its pretty and full of features theres alot of Major issues that makes it frustrating to use as a running watch....so much potential but i would avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, your video always it good. I just have a question about the sleep tracker, what's do your think about accuracy? I know you is a running and maybe you don't mind about sleep tracker 😁 anyway thank Very much for the review.
Thank you so much for this. i bought the vivomove 4s yesterday and manage to get the walk mode in but today, i wanted to return it as i could not even get it on but one it did, it went to some manufacturer mode and some graphic lines plus some hypnotic thing but this video got me to want to keep it and i have changed my clock face ect. Thanks again. ill save and watch it daily to master it
Man... I really feel like they hada great design with the normal Vivoactive 3. The change to the bezel in the music edition and this one make it look so much less stylish.
Absolutely love your videos. Can I get your advise? . Im looking to upgrade my Samsung gear sport but not sure what to get. I do a lot of gym based exercises weight training and treadmill running. I also want something that I can use for everyday and not just for exercise. The Vivoactive 4 is my first choice but again can I get your opinion what you think seams you test and review alot of different watches. Thanks
The Venu is about the same in regards to all the functionality so you could check out my in-depth review of that for more details. The battery life is pretty decent in the 4S - around 3-5 days depending on how many hours of GPS usage. If you're tracking mainly indoor activities more like 4-6 days. Thanks!
@@DesFit Thanks for the response, and yes I've watched your Venu review too as I have it on my list of candidates along with 4 and 4s(just worry a bit that 4 would be too big for my wrist). Thanks again for help!
One thing I find not really ever talked about with Garmin reviews is about the processor and the changes made there. Also about the touch responsiveness. My wife’s vivo active 3 has slight delays when scrolling between menus or have to touch the screen two time to get it to scroll. Is it just me or does anyone else kinda get that as well?
Hi Des! Are You going to make some first impressions and reviews of Legacy Hero Series watches I'm pretty interested to hear your opinion before buying!
Great video. What do you recommend for a similar GPS watch in the same price range or lower, but without the animated workout. I was thinking the amazfit but after your review on their GPS and HR monitor issues, I am reticent. I am only using it for running, indoor workout, pool swim. Thanks
Hey Des! I bought a VivoActive 3 and I was impressed how unreliable the HR sensor was. For activities, stress, etc. Also, from the 7 days I kept it, it only tracked sleep twice. I'm returning it. What's your recommendation for stress and sleep tracking, with GPS ? Thanks
I've had my Garmin Vivoactive 4S for two years & couldn't figure out how to utilize it. I'm an Android mobile user, so my choice was between Garmin & the Fitbit. I chose it for heart rate and swimming, though I haven't used it for that yet. Good video overview. If I may say, the presenter talks a little too fast & I'll have to view it several times. On my smartphone, The start/stop button blocked my view of the watch. I accidentally projected the video to my TV screen and that view was better! Thanks for giving me a start as to how to utilize my Garmin Vivoactive 4s. It is very attractive and I've purchased gold bands for dress occasions. Now, to wear & use the watch!
Love my vivoactive 4s. Everything works perfectly except for one thing...I didn't know that some earphones...especially my JBL wireless earphones aren't compatible for this watch... I was very disappointed... Don't know which affordable earphones to buy now... I discovered this when the volume was on full blast... And I couldn't adjust it. The volume button doesn't work with earphones that are not compatible 😭
I received the vivoactive 4s as a Christmas gift and was excited to use it, however I am still unable to gain anything from it other than time of day. I've tried set it to monitor during my workouts, it does nothing. It seems silly to wear it when I don't gain anything from wearing it. My regular watch is more beneficial to me.
Thankyou for your in depth explanations and showing how everything works/can be personalised. I’ve been researching and think this is the watch for me but would love your opinion. Everything I’m up with except for one question re music control... I know it can control the music on my phone but can I set it up to control music (iTunes)on my iPad? I’m a group fitness instructor and this is key feature I am looking for before taking the plunge into smartwatches.
Hi Des, I have a crazy question - do you happen to know if the watch would work well while swimming with waterproof Bluetooth earbuds? I'm wondering if the distance underwater between arm and ear would be too long for Bluetooth (I read somewhere that most underwater Bluetooth devices, such as mp3 players/iPods, sit about a foot away for good connectivity, and connection gets worse the further the distance) plus there's of course going to be all the arm movement, in and out of water, splashing etc. Thank you very much for your informative videos! With all these awesome smartwatches available, you're really helping me so much to work out which one's best for me to choose !
Hi sir, which Garmin watch you can recommend for me, I like listening music while doing workouts like yoga, pilates, cardio, strength, dancing can be tract the GPS, sleep, heart rate and calories, waterproof can wear while Swimming in the beach or in the pool. Please help me to decide what I need to buy for myself. Thank you
This is a great vid. Still trying to figure out if I want this or the Fenix 6s pro since I found that at the killer price of 479 on the military base. What would you pick?
Great review! Strongly considering the Garmin 4s- big upgrade from a Fitbit Charge HR2. Question: I have not found a fitness tracker that includes equestrian activities. Do you know of one? My Fitbit is giving me "credit" for some of the horse's steps, which is not very helpful. Any suggestions?
Thanks! Fitbit devices are a bit notorious for counting steps when you're not really taking them, although, I can imagine there is quite a bit of feedback while riding a horse. And no, I don't think I've ever seen a device with a dedicated activity profile for equestrian activities. However, you can always just use an Other or generic workout profile to track those activities.
Going to purchase 1st ever fitness watch. Discounted venu on battery life, delay on screen wake up and lack of different faces on always on mode. Your vivoactive 4 is next option but given its nearly twice price of 3 version do you think its worth it? Thanks for the video..
How is it when it’s paired with a IPhone? I have an iPhone 10. I got the Apple Watch series 3 a while ago. But I got it more for fitness and I’m now looking for a watch compatible with my iPhone and my series 1 air pods. Will this watch be good with both those things?? Btw I appreciate the review!!!
I like those workout animations, I have the forerunner 245 but I'm now looking at the fenix range, probably 5x plus or 5x, can't afford the 6 series. Good upgrade from the 245?
You can check out my review of the Venu which is identical in functionality. The only difference being the OLED display vs the transflective on the VA4. The VA4 will get about one additional day of battery life than the Venu. ruclips.net/video/7INBkApiD9I/видео.html
I was wondering where each exercise would fall under and I see now the little icon next to the exercise work (on the left) out on the phone app will indicate where a person would find it on watch (Pilates icon, weight lifting icon, etc etc) As Garmin will do that for us!
I love this watch, I bought it a couple of weeks ago! I just have one question, how do you sync a workout on your watch. I've added the Yoga for runners workout and when I click on the icon on the upper right hand side that looks like a phone with an arrow it says that it's connected to my watch but I can't find it under Yoga and workouts on my watch. Would you be able to help with this?
Tell companies to stop coming out with products and I may have that 945 review out soon 😂 In all seriousness, should be about a week or so...hopefully. Thanks!
Hi des, when will be full review? I wanna buy them (model4), but im waiting how altimeter works during cycling. Im using fenix5 but i want nfc payment :D
I wonder if they’re going to upgrade the vivomove. I love the sleekness of the vivomove and how it actually looks like a watch I can wear to work but I’ve heard not so great things about the little display.
I know its been a year but just leaving this for future people. I had a Rose gold vivomove and replaced it with the same colour scheme 4s. I loved my move but it just lacked so many features I needed, 4s is great but not nearly as fashionable in your day to to day tasks however I changed out my strap for a lovely metal rose gold and it helps. I really hope the 5 series has better move options because the whole real watch hides the smart watch concept its a blessing.
Hi! I want to switch from Fitbit ecosystem as their Versa 2 without GPS is a disgrace and Ionic 2 is nowhere to be seen. But I do wonder if Garmin watches (as opposed to Fitbit) can show me sleep and other stats without syncing with a phone. I sync pretty rarely (don't care about notifications) so it would be great. Also, do Garmin watches know if I took them of for a night and don't count it as time asleep? Would be great if someone could answer :)
With the sensor option can you connect an external chest strap like the Polar H10? Also is it possible to transfer the Garmin workout data over to Samsung Health?
@@DesFit ok so i think i prefer the vivoactive 4 over the venu. But which would you choose between the vivoactive 4 and fitbit charge 4? As an overall fitness tracker? Thry both tell time so other than that im going on looks and the accuracy of fitness tracking
Do you think this is worth upgrading from a vivoactive 3 music? With prime day coming up they are likely to do 50% off and I've had my vivo 3m for a year now and really enjoy it. I'm just not sure which size I should go with if it is worth upgrading.
just wondering... not sure if you've used it. What category would you use for hiking? I can get lost in the jungle at times and the navigation helps from my current Suunto.
you didn't mention anything about swimming tracking: stocks-sped-distance and if it's good in open water/swimming pools? also, I am confused of some controversial comments from different people, don't know what to believe. Thank you.
One of the most important smart watch features I have been considering is sleep monitoring. Would be awesome to see this incorporated into your reviews. Great job though!

I wanna ask if is it capable of counting hear rate while swimming?
Hi Des! Love the video, thank you so much for it.
You didn't mention the battery life of the watch, though, was it okay?

Man... I really feel like they hada great design with the normal Vivoactive 3. The change to the bezel in the music edition and this one make it look so much less stylish.
Agree, it cheapens it terribly. I have the original VA3 and have to jump all the way to a Fenix to get a better looking watch.

I have an iPhone 📱 will I be able to still listen to music thru it with headphones and if so any kind headphones?
Does this watch have audio prompts and interval training like the 245?
Any updates to this question?
It doesn't have a speaker so no audio feedback
How to set the alert tone at the end of run walk interval switch

Do you know how to set it up?
