I love the watch it's easy to use and and I can control my main stuff from my wrist instead of getting it out of my pocket:)

Simply amazing
Rating: 5
Completely amazed. I had planned to get a fitness watch but it couldn’t meet my needs. This one goes above and beyond. It is my first smart watch. It’s easy to use for fitness, music, texting, calling (if your phone is near by). I can’t imagine not having this! I can continuously see the time with a second hand. I can choose the watch face and the display

Smart Watch Review

I have waited several years to finally get an Apple Watch because I was worried about their durability especially given the higher price tag compared the FitBit Versa I replaced with this purchase. I love it so far! I also purchased a screen protector and bumper, and I think I'm set!

First I hate watches and got one of these for my birthday...I though oh no I am going to disappoint wife and kids so i just put it on and believe it or not I love it. The features are awesome. Ease of setup was incredible. Connectivity with phone is awesome. No need to pick up my phone around the house or go running for it when its in the other room and you get a call. The exercise feature will remind you to do thing, to close your different "rings" and will award you with stupid things that will actually motivate you to move and to exercise. Before the end of this year everyone in my family will have one. They are fantastic.

There is a scratch to the front of the watch, also this item was advertised as 379 being 50 dollars off and once it was in the cart it was more expensive also, I was told that if I screenshot you guys would be able to help with a price match from competition

Not working
Rating: 1
Picked up item from store, the shipping box was baddly damage, the apple box had very little defects and scratches. I opened the box and tried to connect to phone and watch kept factory resetting and acted like was refurbished and wanted to connect to old set up. Randomly during set up went to Black screen with apple and occasionally switches to black screen. No tips or tricks will change the screen. I will be exchanging for a product that works.

My husband bought this watch for me about a month ago and I absolutely love it he got one for himself and he loved his so he bought me one I love that we can see each other‘s progress when it comes to working out it helps with accountability and pushes you Meet goals Every day there’s something new that I figure out about my watch and I’m absolutely in love with it!!

Just what I was looking for
Rating: 5
Needed a new tracker and this has everything I need! Screen is easy to read- even with sunglasses on! Buttons are simple and the screen is very responsive. GPS is great to use on bike rides and runs with quick and easy links to strava. Still need to play around with the music feature and some others but so far the watch has performed great! Lightweight and fits nicely on my wrist.

After getting into running outside due to covid, I decided I wanted to get a fitness watch so I didn't have to carry my phone anymore. I really love the Vivo 4s and have not had trouble downloading my music with Spotify (though you do need a premium account). Would recommend!
by Garminvivo4s on 2020-08-12T17:00:00

Super Powerful!
Rating: 4
I am loving my vivoactive 4s so far! I am impressed with being able to have an accurate GPS reading and listen to music from my watch without needing my phone with me on a run. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is I don't find it as intuitive to use right out of the box as other smart watches I have used before, so it has taken me a little bit longer to figure out all the features and how to best use the applications on the watch. I think after another couple of days I'll have it all figured out! Excited to use this watch to train for my first full marathon.

Perfect for almost any workout!
Rating: 4
I use this for running/walking (outdoor and treadmill), yoga, pilates, biking, and cardio. There are so many workouts which can be tracked as well as sleep, heart rate, and steps. I got pregnant after I already had this watch and I love it even more now since I can keep track of my heart rate and sleeping habits. I only wish the battery would live longer.
by Angela75 on 2020-09-13T17:00:00

So far, so good
Rating: 4
After much deliberation, I switched from a Fitbit to my Vivoactive 4S. And I am super impressed with Capture of my walking and running. Definitely is not as accurate with sleep. I wish (hint hint) I could store music through Rock my Run. But every other feature is remarkably excellent.

Having a hard time
Rating: 3
Can’t figure out how to use the activity items. Once I start a pool swim, for instance, I can’t figure out how to stop and save the activity. The check mark and x do not seem to respond when I press them. I have gone to the detailed instructions but they are not helpful, considering contacting Garmin by phone for some assistance
by Joyce C on 2020-09-01T17:00:00

Great except for a few things
Rating: 3
The sleep tracking doesn’t work right. I’ll sleep for 7 or eight hours and it says I slept for 10+. Also my calories I burn are different than Fitbit, not sure if it’s more accurate or less but it’s different. One more thing, I thought there would be a way to show people where I am so they can make sure I’m ok if I’m hiking and I haven’t found that either 🙁 I sort of feel like I should have just gotten a Fitbit
by Sara7111989 on 2020-08-29T17:00:00

Like the style but controls are clunky
Rating: 3
I just got this watch in the last week. I love the size and round face. The controls and shifting through programs is clunky... meaning take multiple steps. It's also difficult to do a running program and change your music playlist. I don't like that you have to pay for watch faces. The ones that they provide for free offers a lot to be desired. Fitbit had more options. Similar functionality to Fitbit alternatives... not sure yet that I like this watch more yet.
