Hello, Thanks for the review. I'm planning to have vivosmart 4 but I have a question please. did you bought a new one or the company just update the software? (accourding to the the improvements you talked about) Thank you again

Fantastic detail - thank you. MY fitbit charge 2 is broken so trying to decide between this and a fitbit charge 4. Have you compared them?

Thank you for the review, very useful! Can I preset intervals for running and workout?

Thank you so much. Your review is very useful.

Good to know Garmin does updates. I wonder if they have continued the updates up until now (2022) but still good to know

Thank you very much for your review. I am looking for something to replace my Versa Lite and will seriously look into buying this. I am now sworn off Fitbit devices as they don't have a service centre in Singapore.

Thank you for the one year follow-up review , I am thinking about picking up one of these but feel that a new version, Vivosmart 5, should be coming out soon. However I can not find anything online even hinting at it coming soon?

Hey Thanks for the review! Its really helpful. Would you suggest to purchase this in 2022, with all the other Fitness trackers in the market? I will be buying my first fitness tracker and after a detailed research, I really dont wanna go with fitbit with its “subscription model” Can i rely with garmin for accuracy? with sleeping, running etc.

I'm in the market for a tracker, I don't need a full smart watch, I just want a tracker. Google bought Fitbit so that's that. Thanks for the review.

Just discovered your channel. Very nice! I was looking for something to wear the night since the Garmin Descent Mk1 is just not meant to be wear by night.

Where did you purchase yours? What is included in my box? A recharger right.

I use two kinds fitness tracker. A bigger vivooactive for fitness, hiking, etc, but just going around & doing things, I use the grand daddy of this one (Garmin vivosmart HR). And for sleep (I do also use the pulse ox ring As this presenter does).

I had Covid in early May. Since then, I've had mild chronic fatigue. It's interesting that my Garmin device actually sees this with the body battery feature. I bottom out every day and recharge no more than 20. Before Covid I'd recharge to 90-100 and my daily drain would never get lower than 20.

I know this video is a year old. But after watching this video & the previous you mentioned on this watch I decided today to go ahead an buy one. Mainly because I've had a fitbit alta hr for some years now & it's starting to show it's age. Plus I've wanted to switch from Fitbit to something else & I fill like starting off with this watch with Garmin would be best. Especially since it'll be my first ever Garmin product & I'm also on a budget. I was looking at the other Garmin watching as well but I'm not in the mood for a smartwatch. Nor a large watch either, my wrists are very small plus I'm actually very skinny. So a large watch would look rather odd on my wrist, so I'll stick with this slinder design. Thanks again for the in depth reviews, very helpful. :)

That was very helpful. Thank you!

It is. It's now 2021. My first one broke apart into two pieces. I bought another one (an open box one which was barely used from Carousell). It's that good. If I can ask, make the band replaceable (like the Mi Band tracker).

Good to hear that HR accuracy is now more accurate. Some questions:- 1. Is there option to view HR% instead of bpm? 2. Calorie count accurate to HR245? 3. Is it possible to broadcast HR (via ANT+) AND recording the activity at the same time? TIA.

Awesome review - thank you 🙏.

A very good, informative review. thnx a lot

glad to see you like it. all i need is stress and sleep tracking, dont care bout fancy features, so i think this may be the best choice for me

Thanks for the update

looks like i'll get one now, thanks man !

I just got this device and I like it a lot. It replaced a fitbit sense and it's more accurate and has more features for less than half the price!

Hi! I’m looking to get a stylish and comprehensive fitness tracker... have the challenges you mentioned in the video been resolved? Is this a great watch to use with d peloton bike? Do I need a chest strap? Does it sync with fitness pal app? Ty!

Bicycle a must. Is there swim (pool) and open water swim feature? HR?

Thanks for your in-depth review of the Garmin 4. After trying several off brand fitness trackers, I recently pulled out my old Garmin Vivofit and started using it while researching which new fitness tracker to use throughout the day - while wearing my watch at work (needing quick look second hand - medical). I used the Vivofit and and Forerunner for years in triathlons and now looking for an updated, slim, easy to use devise with SPO2 and HR to wear along with my Rolex. Thanks again. What I did like about my old vivofit was the batters lasted a year. Only negative was I had to take to to a watch shop to have it replaced. The new Vivofit4 has a charger like the Forerunner.

@@JSyntax Thank you. It seems that the information is more comprehensive than that offered by the Fitbit Charge 4 at present, despite the limited 4 hours duration of tracking with the Garmin. I note in another video that you yourself have OSA. Here’s how I got my mine, as I’ve detailed below, even though my BMI is normal. Also, please note that CPAP can raise intraocular pressures in some people; possibly contraindicated with glaucoma (as I also have). I now use mandibular advancement splints. You might interested in the work of (the late) Dr Brian Palmer, whose decades of research focuses on malformation of the infant airway through the actions of intense infant bottle-feeding. Dr Palmer, who was a dentist, goes so far to argue that OSA and what leads to SIDS are essentially modern sleep disorders only, that they did not exist prior to the invention of the baby bottle. Certainly Dr Palmer's lab collection of prehistoric skulls is testament to his claims, where the nasopharyngeal anatomy of these skulls is significantly more accommodating than what is seen today with those who present with the modern airway. Below is my summary of Dr Palmer's work as well as his website. Depending on INTENSITY, FREQUENCY and DURATION, infant bottle-feeding can lead to oral cavity malformation. As a baby has soft, malleable bones, bottle-feeding, depending on the above three factors, can malform the maxilla through the implosion effect of sucking on a bottle. The outcome, then, can essentially be a high-arched hard palate and a narrowed dental arch. With the consequent elevation of the hard palate and its narrowing, the posterior nasal accommodation above is then unavoidably compromised (as the roof of the mouth is also the floor of the nasal cavity). And with this reduced nasal accommodation, pneumatic pressure during sleep is reduced (due to a reduction in the volume of air) as well as there being a prevailing inefficacy in the exchange of gases - since any one sleep phase accordingly dictates the respiratory drive. Further, if the raising of the hard palate is extreme, the nasal septum above can collapse and deviate, causing further ventilation problems. Another profoundly negative aspect of infant bottle-feeding, again, depending on the three factors as highlighted above, is where the epiglottis settles into an unnatural position in the airway following its natural descent. During the first few months of life, an infant is able to swallow breastmilk and breathe at the same time; and this is because the epiglottis is temporarily connected to the soft palate. Following this period, if a strong feeding infant is being intensively bottle-fed, the epiglottis can finally settle too low into the airway after its separation from the soft palate. The result here can mean not only a narrowed pharyngeal airway, but also an epiglottis that, apart from its primary function of capping the airway during swallow, cannot serve to properly brace the back of the tongue during sleep. Arguably, along with the high-arched palate problem, such an occurrence can lead to sleep apnoea and sleep hypopnoea - for life; and, worse, in the case of the infant, SIDS. Breastfeeding involves a peristaltic action of suck; hence breastfeeding is still far superior to any form of infant bottle-feeding, Dr Palmer would argue. Not all infants who are bottle-fed will necessarily end up with compromised airways; nevertheless, if a mother can make an informed choice to breastfeed, then she has, along with the well known benefits of breastmilk, another good reason to do so.

Hi, I'm new to fitness trackers and considering this garmin. I understand all the syncing is done over Bluetooth with the phone? Can you turn of Bluetooth on the tracker for some periods of time and then enable so all the syncing is done all at once? . For instance, disable at night and enable in the morning. (and still get all the data for that night) I don't like the idea of having Bluetooth on the phone and tracker on all the time, just maybe enough time to do all the syncing.

How does this compare to the Polar A370. I was set on getting the Garmin Gvivosmart4, but I found out that Polar's heart rate monitor is more accurate and so is the sleep tracking. Does the A370 have something comparable to Firstbeat analytics?

I'm thinking about buying this one, i have had a Fitbit Alta for nearly 2 years now, but i have gone through 3 straps, this looks like its all in one so it can't break the same way. I currently use a large Fitbit strap but set on the 2nd or 3rd hole so my wrist isn't that big, should i go with the large size strap on this too? Also been looking at the fitbit inspire HR, but afraid i will get the same problem with the strap.

Thanks for the thoughtful review. Has Garmin improved their heart rate sensor during exercise? It used to track lower than a fitbit in your initial review. I want to switch from fitbit charge 3, but their hr sensor is quite good during exercise.

I bought a used vivosmart 4 last year. Still using it since it shows heart rate and its small on my wrist. I tried smart watches and other bands but still in 2022 im using it. Wouldnt mind replacing it if a new tracker can do better.

I read some reviews saying that the bezel on the Vivosmart 4 falls off pretty quickly and also that you can’t change the band once is worn out. Is this true? I have a Vivosmart hr for a couple years now and never had any problems with it...The only reason I want a new one it’s because of the regular “wear and tear” for the time I have been with it. Recently I been looking for other models to maybe make an upgrade soon but idk if I should just buy the same Vivosmart hr I have or just update to a Vivosmart 4 which looks really nice, but I don’t want to invest on something with a great brand name yet not the best quality manufactured on other models. Please help

From a medical device project i worked on I recall, pulse ox is very difficult to technically do around the wrist the sensors require good visibility of the bld colour there are too many bones in the wrist area to see through the siginal is very noisy and requires a lot of processing.

​@@lorben9601 Which totally sucks when the little flimsy ass band breaks. This is reason enough to look at other devices. I bought it primarily for the PulseOx feature to track and correlate with CPAP data. This feature actually turns out to be somewhat useful in that the device seems to be fairly accurate in aggregate over time. Although it consistently under reports my SpO2 by 3-4%, the consistency gives me confidence in the data. But the lack of integration of this SpO2 data point with Apple Health is an annoyance.. Also, I thought I'd like the small, lightweight device, but over time the lack of "real estate" on the tiny screen and the frequently spotty navigation (swiping and tapping) is very annoying when trying to get info quickly and easily, especially in the middle of a workout. The watch is (and Garmin devices in general are) quite feature rich, but the difficulty in accessing functions and data renders much of the capability useless in the gym or in the field. With an unreplaceable broken band and other watches coming out with SpO2 capability, I'll be purchasing another (much larger) device soon. I guess I'll keep this one as a throw down spare or give it to a girl with small wrists LOL.

I like how small and light the Vivosmart 4 is. My biggest complaint is it's harder to start a walk than it is on my Mi Band 5. You have to either a) wait 5 minutes for it to track the walk automatically, or b) double-tap the screen to get it to start the timer. My problem is that it almost never registers double-taps correctly. For whatever reason, I have to tap the screen three or four times. The other thing is, I wish the notifications could be in landscape mode rather than portrait. It's 2021. I shouldn't have to read a wearable display sideways at this point.

Hi . probably i understood this wrong, please clarify . the device can recognize gym movements and count those, but firmware still hasn't feature to pre set exercise count as a part of routine ? Let me explain on example: usually we programme the sets of exercise like: work-1min, rest-30sec. And just listen beep or vibro. But gym trackers scenario would be preferable like: do 10 reps, then rest 2 mins, do 20 reps of next exercise and rest 1 min, etc. So workout programming of the gym is a count based, isn't it? Previous model could count the reps but didn't allow to notify the athlete that planned reps are done . how is about this tracker?
