Garmin Small/Medium vivosmart 4 Smart Activity Tracker with Wrist-Based Heart Rate and Fitness Monitoring Tools - Berry

Mum had a much older Garmin which was now on it way out, got this as a replacement as a birthday gift for her. She is very happy with the upgrade from her older version of this device. It's a lot smaller and sleeker compared to last version, and it much more comfortable for her to wear throughout the day.The screen is also brighter, making it easier for her to read the screen during the day. Overall, very good upgrade and perfect for her daily step count and heart rate readings.

I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews for this tracker. Sure, there's room for improvement but it has loads of features and is a neat compact size for wearing every day (unlike some of the smart watches which seem huge by comparision).PROS:— heart rate monitor— pulse ox— stress monitor (with breathing timer thing for relaxation)— pedometer— vibrates to prompt you to move— waterproof (for swimming and shower)— excellent app; lots of features, very customisable (like linking to calorie journal MyFitnessPal)— syncs to app quickly— plus a lot of other features that I haven't used yet (GPS, phone notifications, etc.)CONS:—the most annoying thing is the strap: because of the charging port, it'd very difficult to remove/change/buy a cheap replacement/different colour, but also the soft rubbery material and the buckle are irritating to my skin. Fortunately, wearing it much looser seems to help a lot (and doesn't affect the monitoring tools) as well as taking it off/drying it thoroughly when it gets really wet (although that somewhat defeats the object of getting a waterproof tracker). This was not an issue on the vivosmart 2 which was a harder kind of silicon - if only they hadn't changed it.— you do have to charge it every few days but there's a battery indicator on the screen (I used to have a garmin vivosmart 2 which never needed charging, so I'll have to get used to this)— the charger is proprietary (i.e. unique to this tracker) so if you break/lose it you can't just use another spare charger— the sleep data is interesting but dubious, although it does track when you sleep (not just between the hours you set, which I initially thought)Overall, I'd say it was definitely worth getting (low price, thanks CamelCamel alerts!), and no tracker is going to be 100% perfect - but I'd say this is better than expected so far.

I totally love this watch/sleep/fitness tracker. I’ve had mine for over a year.The sleep tracking is pretty much second to none and about as accurate as it can get. It shows rem sleep as well as time awake and deep/light sleep. I didn’t appreciate fully how accurate it was until I recently misplaced it and substituted it with a forerunner 30. The difference was remarkable. No rem sleep shown on the fr 30 and it also didn’t record any of the times I woke up in the night, even when I went to the loo.Apart from the sleep tracking, it has a lot of other features that I had enjoyed but not fully appreciated until they disappeared when I was using the fr 30. When connected to the Garmin app it has a body battery tracker which is good at showing when you could do with either putting your feet up or going for a run. It also shows how many flights of stairs you climb/descend and there’s a stress tracker which shows levels of stress throughout the day.Tiny downside is that the display isn’t always on. It comes on either when you tap the screen or when you raise your arm. So when using it as a watch it can be a bit of a pain but for me not a dealbreaker.Size wise it’s by far the most delicate and pretty of any of the fitness trackers I’ve looked at. It’s waterproof and you can shower/swim without worrying it’ll suffer.The garmin connect app is also really really good. It’s easy to see and easy to use and personalise.Love it :)

I've just gone back to amazon to see how long I've owned this and its been three years now, so I think I can now write a review on it. It's a great fitness watch that's accurate and helpful in alerting you to moments of stress etc. and guides you in a little meditation in such times.The accompanying app lets you personalise your step length etc to make the readings it gives you more accurate.This last year the ability to measure your blood oxygen level has been very useful.Tracking weight lifting was kinda tricky.It's handy to get call and text notifications on your wrist.I've worn it every day for three years now including in the shower and the swimming pool, the bath and the sea, climbing, gardening, all kinds of everyday activity. It is still working just as well as it was when I bought it.The strap has gotten a little worn, and the bevel on the face has just fallen off but I can probably glue it back on. I have to charge it more often now which is a little annoying but apart from that, it's still working perfectly.A good buy? Yes, but I've just upgraded to a smarter watch with more functionality, the kind of which wasn't available for the price that they are now at the time. (mi watch).

It measures what it is supposed to and the phone app is good, but the touch screen is tiny and if you wear glasses almost unreadable. Would spring for a bigger face if I could choose again.

Ordinary old peoples daily routine and activities

Très facile d'utilisation, compacte la batterie semble duré assez longtemps.

Piccolo e preciso. Assomiglia un bracciale e fa il suo lavoro anche senza il telefono. Misura: polso, passi, corsa (running), e qualità di sogno, fra altri. Durata batteria 5-7 giorni se non lo usi per ricevere tutte le notifiche. Garmin sempre. Consigliato!!

Nätt modell som är lätt att bära dygnet runt.

ScoresAmazon: *****Garmin duurzaamheid: **We hadden er eentje gekocht bij Amazon in december 2022. Nu in oktober was het bandje al gescheurd.Het was nog in garantie. Aangezien het bandje alleen niet kan vervangen worden, hebben we Amazon gecontacteerd via chat. Op 20minuten was alles geregeld voor inruil voor een nieuw horloge.Dit is top!We hebben een tiener die tevreden is dat ze terug haar horloge kan dragen.In het algemeen hebben we goede ervaringen van Garmin.Ik ben benieuwd om het bandje nu langer zal intact blijven...
