Garmin vívosmart 4, Activity and Fitness Tracker w/Pulse Ox and Heart Rate Monitor, Midnight w/Black Band, Large (Renewed)

I bought this 5 months ago and I have loved it. I will say sleep tracking is not 100% accurate but it does a pretty decent job. Comfortable, durable, I have gotten sweaty, washed dishes, spilled water - it has held up with no issue. I thought due to sweat, it would develop rust or issues with charging, but so far- nothing. I tend to charge it every 3 ish days but it seems to charge fairly quickly. It will be at about 40% and I just put it on to charge using a samsung charger (fast charging) while in the shower. When I get out, it will pretty much be fully charged. I also have wider wrists. For a woman, I generally cannot buy one size fits type bracelets and watches. This is a lot of room and still thin enough so you do not feel awkward. I had about 3 or 4 different Fitbits and 2 misc brands that all died just after1 month each time and barely tracked anything when/if they did work. I honestly had given up and if I had not be given a voucher for partial payment from my work, I would not have bothered trying again. The account, set up, everything was way easier. This tracks so much more and I can answer calls, read messages, set alarms, and have a clear display. I really love this tracker.

Enjoy watch. I like the low profile of it. Able to sync my activities to both Strava + Nike Run App.

I purchased a refurbished because the price was perfect! I really wanted to track steps and have them automatically recorded via an app and this does that and more! What I really like is it monitors sleep and heart rate…I can’t navigate the watch too well but enjoy the app…not being able to navigate the watch is a me issue that’ll come easier with time. The band is comfortable (coming from someone who hates wearing things on my wrist). The only downside is it doesn’t hold a charge as long as I’d like it too, but I read that I’d I disable a few features the battery life will extend…once I figure that out I’ll be unstoppable!

A fitness tracker watch is only as good as the app showing you the data. The Garmin Connect App is just what I was looking for and doesn't require a subscription. I spent a bunch on the Venu 2 and realized I didn't use or care for the watch so I got this and returned the Venu. I like the small size of the Vivosmart 4. It tracks stairs which the 5 does not. Great price and deal combined with a 3 year protection plan.

Super easy and lightweight. I tend to have some minor issues every now and then with it disconnecting/ updating from my phone but it's an easy fix.

The good news is it tells time. The bad news is nothing else. First off, I'm a person who reads manuals. The manual that sent with the product contained 0 information. I set up the product according to the scant instructions. I chose a watch face that would show time, steps, stairs climbed, and intensity I believe. I waited through two software updates. Then I walked across the house a couple of times. I looked at the watch: no change. I synced the watch with my phone, and the Garmin Connect app showed me that I'd walked 179 steps. But try as I might I could not get the watch to tell me that. I have a vivofit 4 that this was going to replace. I would really rather the watch face tell me information. I don't really care to use the phone that much at all. I don't take my phone with me when I exercise, and I don't want to have to pull out the phone every time I want to know how far I've gone. This is probably "user error" in some way, but I don't care. I've owned a dozen pedometers and step-counting watches over the years. This is the first one that didn't show me what I wanted out of the box. I don't want to work that hard to learn how to use it.

It was pretty owned

This fitness tracker has decent recording. However that battery is terrible. In most cases needs charging every 2 days. While it does alert you to keep moving, it does not offer a low battery warning. The plus side is that it does charge quickly

I don't know why but I like keeping the original. I couldn't tell the difference with the garmin. Never take this off and it is wearing well. I've got a bit of chipping on the buckle (black wearing off) but don't care.

I felt compelled to leave this review after returning my device today after 5 days of use. I think if your main form of activity is walking, and you’re interested in steps, sleep and hr (only for resting and walking), then you might very well love this. As someone who runs, trains with weights, does intervals and routinely gets his hr into the 160’s and beyond, this bracelet was a big disappointment. No matter how tight the bracelet was in my wrist, the hr data becomes very inaccurate once your heart rate goes beyond 120. The highest I ever measured was 123. Upon testing with finger and stopwatch, my Hr was actually closer to 165. I was not a fan but many (more sedentary/novice trainers) will like the basic data provided.

Too complicated for our needs

I would not get a reconditioned product. I should have listened to other reviewers
