Garmin Vivoactive 4 – Your Perfect Fitness Assistant
Garmin has expanded its line of multisport watches with the launch of the new Garmin Vivoactive 4, an upgraded version of the Vivoactive 3 and 3 Music.
Design and features
The Vivoactive 4 fitness watch model in the Garmin line is located somewhere in the middle. It’s more sophisticated than versions like the Vivosmart 4 or Vivomove 3. The Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch is a great option for active lifestyles.
What are the new features presented in Vivoactive 4?
Garmin’s Vivoactive sports watch comes in two sizes. 45mm are called Vivoactive 4 and are equipped with a 1.3-inch transflective display. 40 mm 1.1-inch display with an S added to the name, i.e. Garmin Vivoactive 4S. The only thing that distinguishes the screens of the updated devices from the displays of the Vivoactive 3 and 3 Music is the size.
Functions and options
The Vivoactive 4 fitness watch and its smaller version 4S have new options like animated workouts. During yoga, Pilates, as well as cardio and strength training, an animated man appears on the displays of the device and performs all the exercises with you. Another new addition is the breath work mode, which includes four types of exercises: concentration and relaxation (long and short version), calming and progressive breathing.
In addition, your Garmin Vivoactive multisport watch can track your breathing rate, sweat levels after exercise, and the amount of water you drink. They are also capable of capturing heart rate readings throughout the day. In the previous model, the heart rate monitor only recorded data intermittently during the night, while the predecessors of the Vivoactive 4 did not have this sensor. In the updated model, the user can configure this option so that the heart rate monitor tracks data only during the day, and at night, or disable control altogether.
There are also options for tracking sleep, menstrual cycle, stress levels, and more. With Vivoactive, the user has access to Garmin Coach training plans and the ability to provide emergency notification of an incident through Garmin Assistance. In addition, there are a lot of sensors, among which you will find: heart rate, GPS, Galileo, Garmin Elevate, barometric altimeter, gyroscope, compass, accelerometer, and thermometer.
Control and convenience
The manufacturer has also made a few aesthetic changes, redesigning the Garmin Vivoactive 4. We now have two buttons, the top one that opens the menu, and the bottom one that acts as a settings button (when pressed long) and as a back button (when pressed once).
This sports watch is water resistant with a rating of 5 ATM, equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but does not support LTE networks.
Battery autonomy
Since the new watches are presented in two sizes, each received its own battery capacity. So the charge of Vivoactive 4, according to the manufacturer, is enough for eight days of work in smartwatch mode, when using GPS and listening to music, autonomy is reduced to six hours. In turn, the 4S version in smartwatch mode can last up to seven days, while with GPS and music – five hours.
The animated workouts in Garmin Vivoactive 4 are great to use and encourage you to practice and discover new exercises.
The Vivoactive 4’s touchscreen is useful, and with fewer buttons, you’re less confused. The display is responsive, and while it’s not as bright as some other smartwatches, it’s great to have a battery that lasts a week.
