Pulse Ox at Your WristThe Pulse Ox sensor on vÃvosmart 4 estimates your body’s blood oxygen saturation level. Your Pulse Ox measurements are dependent upon a number of factors, including your overall health and fitness. Checking your Pulse Ox can help gauge how your body is absorbing oxygen. Turn on the feature to gauge your SpO2 overnight, or use it to take a spot measurement anytime to learn more about your body. | Advanced Sleep MonitoringSleep is important to your overall health, well-being and physical performance. To give you an idea of how you’re sleeping, vÃvosmart 4 tracks your light, deep and REM stages of sleep, along with movement throughout the night. For added insight, turn on the Pulse Ox feature to view your blood oxygen levels during your sleep. When you wake up, you can easily review and compare your sleep stats in the Garmin Connect Mobile app. | Optimise Your Body’s EnergyBody Battery energy monitoring on vÃvosmart 4 uses a combination of stress, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep and activity data to gauge your body’s energy reserves at any moment, so you can plan your day to optimise times for activity and rest. A higher number indicates you’re ready to be active, while a lower number suggests you might need to relax and rest a bit before tackling a workout. Body Battery can also help you make sense of patterns throughout your weeks, so you can understand how the past few days have influenced how you’re feeling today. |

All-day Stress TrackingYou most likely experience stress at some point in your day, but how much? Your vÃvosmart 4 lets you know when you are having a calm, balanced or stressful day and everything in between. Tracking your HRV (the time interval between each heartbeat), vÃvosmart 4 calculates and displays your stress level. There’s also an optional ‘Relax Reminder’ feature that you can turn on in the Garmin Connect app. If your stress level gets elevated during your day, it will provide a vibration alert on your wrist and display a message (“Take a moment to breathe?â€) to let you know it’s time to relax. Use the relaxation breathing timer, which walks you through the Fourfold breathing technique, proven to calm your mind and body. | Daily Fitness and Wellness MonitoringUsing the Elevate heart rate data collected from your wrist, vÃvosmart 4 can — with a VO2 max estimate — give you an idea of your current fitness level. In general, as your aerobic fitness increases, your VO2 max does the same. Based on your VO2 max, vÃvosmart 4 is also able to estimate your fitness age — a stat that you may be able to decrease over time with hard work and exercise. For added insight, vÃvosmart 4 will notify you if your heart rate unexpectedly rises above a threshold you’ve set. If you’re inactive for more than 10 minutes and your heart rate stays above your set threshold, you’ll get an alert. | Stay ConnectedWith a vÃvosmart 4 tracker on your wrist, you don’t have to choose between staying connected and staying more active. Check the weather, control your music, receive smart notifications, find your phone, even reply with preset text responses (Android only), and access social media notifications on your tracker’s display — all while keeping your smartphone stowed away. |
Keep Track of Your Active Life
Your vÃvosmart 4 greets you each day with a personalised step goal. Then it tracks and displays your progress. In addition to steps, its activity tracking capabilities include floors climbed, calories burned, intensity minutes and more. You’ll also see a move bar and get vibration alerts to remind you when it’s time to get up and move.
Track Your Workouts
You can use the preloaded activity timers to keep track of your exercise times and more. When using the strength training activity, it estimates your exercises, reps and sets along with your work and rest times so you can leave the notebook at home. And if you forget to start a timer, the Move IQ feature on vÃvosmart 4 will automatically detect exercises such as walking, swimming, cycling and elliptical training — and it even starts timing select activities. When finished, your activities are pushed to Garmin Connect, Garmin online community, where you can review, edit and share the activities with your connections and friends.

Nice fitness tracker. Not too sensitive like my last tracker that would turn on just by coming into contact with my sleeve.
Battery doesn’t seem to last as long these days though.
My wife’s Fitbit began to play up after 2years, ironically the same happened with her previous (coincidence?) and it seems to be a common issue on the fitbit forums
This however is an absolute breeze to set up and get working. My wife is super happy with it, you don’t need to have your Bluetooth and GPS on constantly like the Fitbit requires….she chooses to sync all her data twice a week ( you can adjust this) and the charge last for a very long time due to the Bluetooth and GPS functions not needing to be in use all the time.
Great piece of kit and the Garmin App is a joy to use and customise!
Highly recommended for sure.
Great tracker!
Bought this to keep track of activity etc so I could wear a normal watch again and not my Garmin Fenix 5X or Samsung 4 all the time. Certainly seems to be as accurate as the Fenix at only a fraction of the cost, really pleased with it.
Great value!
Great value. Tracks sleep and walks well. Even stress always funny when it tries to tell me to breathe / calm down lol. The walks aren’t precise eg when I’m on the treadmill, at an incline, it misses the mark. However, it’s tracks very well outside of this. Happy with the product
Ps: battery life seems to last a little less than a week
Red light?
Bought for the wife. She’s happy with it. Although it flashes red quite often, especially at night. She can’t find out why. It’s not a low battery warning. Should anyone know what causes it, we’d be glad to find out.
I love this Garmin.
I am so pleased with this. I purchased a Fitbit before this but returned it as I couldn’t read the display. The Garmin has a good display which can be easily seen in sunlight. I only use it really to check my step count daily so cannot comment on the sleep tracker. I does what I need so very pleased with it.

Bought this for my mum to keep track of her blood pressure and pulse as she has heart problems. Works well and the app keeps track of all stats and forms a well layed out graph. It has had a couple of sync problems and has problems tracking pulse ox in her sleep, apart from that she loves i
Fantastic!
Really good quality watch with some great features. Purchased to track heart rate due to some health issues and it is really accurate and easy to use. The watch is really light weight so easy to wear and not bulky like other brands. Would highly recommend.
Brillia
Love it! It motivates me to do more walking. And keeps track of my stress levels. Reminds me to take time out when stress is high. I don’t sleep well so it shows me all my sleep levels. Excellent buy. Highly recommended.
Garmin quality
Good to find a good quality fitness watch that actually fits my very slim wrists.
Extremely good
This is a great product keeps track of steps heart and everything else. Just as good as the more expensive ones
Brilliant product 5 stars
This is my second garmin and tried fitbits in-between but this product is far better in my opinio
User friendly tracke
Easy to use activity tracker, although (in common with others) it does lose a star for accuracy as it told me I had walked several km when in fact I had sat for several hours crocheting! It also identified an impromptu dance as cross training (it guesses a wide range of activities from your arm motion), but that said, it does do a good job of tracking walks and aerobic activity otherwise, (and without relying on GPS which is patchy where I normally walk). I also like the sleep monitor which helps awareness of insomnia episodes; it shows four levels of sleep as well as how restless you’ve been in an easy to understand graph display.
Despite not having worn a watch for 20 years, I find the unit comfortable to wear, and while the strap is only just fitting, it doesn’t leave a long bit catching on clothing and the loop which goes over has a small lug on it which sits in one of the holes and doesnt slip around. Battery life (without trying to use the PulseOx function) has been around a week between charges. The charging clip is a little fiddly to engage, and could perhaps have been better designed. You’ll need a USB socket to charge it from.
As far as connectivity goes, the unit downloads to an app via Bluetooth. I upload twice a day, then disable Bluetooth; you don’t have to link it constantly unless maybe a coach is monitoring your performance. So it doesnt impact your mobile battery use.
It transfers exercise stats to my food tracker (NutraCheck) with a small time lapse, but saves a lot of manual input.
Definitely a useful piece of kit, and you can see progress reports on the app if you need it for training or health input.
Battery life too sho
The device is great but let down by the need to recharge every other day!
Excellent little health and fitness tracker.
Love this. I had a fitbit before but battery gave up after just a year.
I like the app, v easy to use and understand.
Great value for money for everything it records, half the price of some fitbits and twice as good
It's easy to use and really comfortable to wea
Its neat. Looks good on my wrist and not like a nerdy gadget!
I check my daily challenges, sleep pattern and energy levels via my phone and am happy that it’s easy to understand and make changes when I want. Definitely good value for money.
Overall a good buy
This has some pros and cons. I like the app, and it’s a way of encouraging yourself to move about. That said, however much I clean the sensors it’s not very accurate. It’s not so bad on steps but is terrible on stairs and the pulse oximeter is wildly inaccurate. That or I should be clinically dead. One or the other.
I would buy again, but Garmin either need to step up the technology or just avoid the gimmicky bits.
Very difficult to pair and sync with my phone
The activity tracker looks good has a clear, easy-to-read screen and counts my steps well. However its ability to pair with my phone is sporadic and even if it does it often will not transfer data to Garmin Connect so I have been unable, so far, to test out the facilities like sleep tracking.
Excellent fitness watch!
This is the perfect fitness watch, thin on the wrist and the fitness tracking is very accurate. I workout with a friend who uses an Apple Watch for tracking and our stats are almost identical!
I’ve had an older version of garmin watch and I think they’re great! You can use GPS from phone if you’re running and want a map of the run.
Good value
Easy to use, minimal set-up.
Good value compared to more expensive alternative.
Auto synchronisation with the Garmin app, and clear data display.
Really good value for money
Had a Fitbit in the past and I thought it was difficult to beat but this Garmin is far better. It looks really good, is very comfortable, battery life is 5 to 6 days and the mobile app is really good.
Highly recommended.
It's good for the money, BUT ...
I’ll hold my hands up and admit I didn’t check it thoroughly, but it has no Google Fit direct connectivity. Also the auto pick up for running and walking is average at best, meaning it’s a case of manually starting up the tracker for when you exercise! No different to when you do so on your phone but I kinda wish it was a bit more “let’s do this!”.
Sleep and VO2 is where I really wanted it though, and I’m happy (and mildly depressed) to say that it is very accurate and gives lots and lots of information about it all.
Overall, it’s good for the money, however if you can save an extra 20/40 for some more accuracy, I would do so.
Does the job
I’ve been using Garmin products for training for years, and i thought i’d give an activity tracker a go and so i bought a Garmin because i like their products.
Unlike other companies, Garmin don’t charge you to use Garmin Connect, there is no premium to pay for to get at all your stats. You buy the product and get all the Garmin services for free.
This is a great little product that i’ve been using for a year now. Really like it and certainly recommend it as an activity tracker.
Great produc
So far it’s really good, I just need to get to grips with exactly how it works
Nice sleek Smart Tracker for everyday use.
Liked the fact one could choose which facilities were best suited to them, and set up accordingly. Nice to have so many options available.
Excellent tracke
Really great piece of equipment but I have a couple of issues – not with the unit itself as that is great – no with Garmin.
I have thick wrists and ankles,,,,,, and the only Garmin Vivoactive 4 that would fit me is the black one – very masculine!! I would’ve loved to have a Berry or even an Ice Blue one but these only come with the small size wrist strap, no good for me, so come on Garmin make nice coloured straps for us ladies!!!!
My first garmin, couldn’t tell it wasn’t brand new, love it!!!
It looks good, has so many helpful applications. Helps keep track of steps, sleep, stress levels, heart rate & more. Easy to set up & use
