Great watch size and good watch face

I purchased this watch last month after my Fitbit died. I tried another Fitbit but it would not sync with my phone. I had a Garmin in the past so looked at what was available. Still trying to step up the activities but truthfully not spending a lot of time on it. As long as I can get my steps the rest will work itself out.

Gives what I need

This is my second Garmin watch. I love that it finds my phone, tracks sleep, connects to the app and has so many options. I have yet to use it for activities very much, so that is next as I go through rehab, but it gives me the above benefits that add value to life. .

Very good

Very good overall and has compatibility with many watch faces on the store. Works wonders after it is calibrated and has a good battery life span of roughly 1 week for me. Why it isn't 5 stars? There is a reason it is one of the cheaper adult fitness watches, but it is still well worth it if you are just casually working out or want a watch to keep track of stats and what not.

Great Advaces from vivoactive 4

I have had the watch for a month and overall it is amazing. Heaps of detailed information make it great for tracking workouts. Using the watch is quick and efficient. The only missing function is the brightness. The brightness is set by ambient sensor. Even with this characteristic, I still would recommend the watch.

Great, but I wish I get more integration

Just switched from my Apple watch to Garmin, vivoactive 6. Happy to report that I love the watch, particularly as i am a swimmer (4-5 times a week). The watch gives me data during my long swims (that's why I switched mostly) and the battery life is much, much better than the Apple Watch. I do not get 10 days from it, but mostly because I have haptic notification etc. from my iphone. The only negative: Garmin, please integrate data better with the Apple Health app. I installed Bevel to get some more data, but alas, HRV etc. aren't coming through.

Alright

It's alright, not really worth the price point. I had a Galaxy watch briefly and thought that was a much better value. The user interface is cumbersome and doesn't have good work flow. The battery is good. It has not been able to auto detect any of my activities. Time zone is way off but you have to enter coordinates instead of just selecting a location.

Love it

I have only had it for 1 month but I am enjoying it so far. It is not the most intuitive gadget to use but once you figure it out its easy. I am used to apply products so there is an adjustment period. One thing that does bother me, is that my watch will randomly disconnect from my phone and the only way to fix it is to turn them both off. Other than that I love my watch and it has been very helpful in the gym and improving my sleep.

Fun to see running data

Very happy with my watch, does what I want and is a lot of fun. I had some issues syncing to my phone and tech services was great, they weren't sure either but we worked through all the settings till we got it up and running. I am still learning the ins and outs, but I really like getting data like VO2 max and exercise load. Chat GPT tells me I am an "elite athlete" lol!!

Awesome app and device

I bought this a month ago, it's my first Garmin after many years of Fitbit use. I love it! First s**** and giggles I set up an 8-week training program right off the bat and I'm amazed at how well it's helping me increase my fitness. It's just so much more intelligent than Fitbit (now Google Health). Didn't even adjusts my future workouts if I over exerted one day for example. Love it and looking forward to using Garmin from now on.

Screen cracks not covered for warranty

I was really excited to buy this watch after researching all of the different products currently available on the market. Shipping time was almost exactly as predicted. Product looked amazing out of the box and I was able to set it up fairly quickly. I love the functionality of it, especially the sleep tracking and the mapping feature when doing exercises like walking and hiking. My biggest complaint and the reason for the 2 star rating is that within a month of purchase, the screen cracked. I don't remember bumping it on anything but as I was volunteering I checked the watch, went outside again on a very hot day and when I checked it not 2 minutes later, I could see a crack forming in the screen. It looks like I hit it on something causing the crack but I did not. When I contacted support my only option for repair was to pay half the price for a replacement one. My last watch (of a different brand) survived 10 years of use without cracking. So for this one, which was twice the price and supposedly from a better brand, to last not even a whole month is incredibly frustrating. I had to save up to buy this device so to need to pay half the price to replace it was gut-wrenching. I don't think I'll buy anymore products from this company because of this. I have bought a metal case and screen protector to put on the replacement one and haven't had any issues since. I do really like the functionality of this watch, which is just such a sham because I will never feel comfortable recommending it.
