&0183 &32 Garmin’s new smartwatches aren’t just for hardcore trainers and athletes. These devices have been designed to carry you through busy days, keep an eye on your health, and improve your beauty sleep at night. Gone are the days of clunky fitness trackers that feel out of place in daily life.

This leads to my last gripe good luck getting support. Garmin is more than happy to take your 200, 300, 500 dollars, but they’re sluggish in assisting you with getting it or this required app to work. Hold Up to bring up the menu and scroll down to Settings > Watch face. First off, let’s be clear, this isn’t an app but rather a digital torture device. You’d think an app from a multi-billion dollar company would be at least marginally better than one built by Jerry and Cleetus in the shed behind their mom’s house, but you’d be wrong.

Now whether it’s actually struggling to sync or just claiming to be struggling to sync I can’t say. Even when I receive the error icon I can still send data back to my phone, so who knows, maybe it’s syncing maybe it’s not. Secondly, the IQ App Store will not display apps it doesn’t believe are compatible with your device, even if they claim to be, and if you round about find the apps you want by using your browser it won’t let you download them.

&0183 &32 Garmin Vivoactive 4 review: Design and display. Follow the given instructions to download and install the Garmin Connect Mobile app.2021. Open this link in a browser on your smartphone. To connect your Vivoactive to your smartphone, you must use the Garmin Connect Mobile app.

Also, this media loaner unit will finally get shipped back to Garmin, as I’ve already got my own unit I ordered. Beyond that it mirrors all the same new features as the Vivoactive 4, with music capabilities coming standard now (including both Spotify and Amazon Music offline access), as well as a pile of new features related to other workout types like yoga & Pilates with animated step by step workout move instructions, 24×7 respiration rate tracking, estimated sweat loss, and finally hydration tracking.Within this review I’ll cover all the good, the bad, and the little bits of ugly (spoiler: there’s really not much ugly). So these last few weeks I’ve been circling back to getting some of these leftover wearables reviews knocked out, as seen with the Apple Watch Series 5 last week.The watch is notable because it’s Garmin’s first wearable with an AMOLED display, aka: A pretty screen. It’s definitely been one heck of a long review cycle, largely elongated due to it being in the middle of indoor trainer review season. It’s been a bit over three months since the Garmin Venu came out, and since even before the announcement day it’s been on my left wrist – day in and day out. The first is size: Garmin’s newest.

Vivoactive 3 Music), and one for non-music (Vivoactive 3) now that’s all under a single umbrella with music – whether you have Venu or Vivoactive 4. In discussing the features with Garmin, there are no non-display associated features that are in Venu that aren’t in Vivoactive 4, or vice versa.The other thing to note is that previously there were separate editions of the Vivoactive lineup – one for music (e.g. So such things like higher quality animations and better quality watch faces. It and the Vivoactive 4 share virtually every feature, with the only differentiating aspects of the Venu being those that are specifically display driven. What’s New:The Venu is a progression of the Vivoactive lineup. With that, let’s get cookin’.

I would, however, expect that the Venu and Vivoactive 4 will stay largely lock-step in their firmware updates/features. Of course, bits like the screen are hardware driven. As is common with the Garmin ecosystem, I would not expect any of these new features to make their way back to the Vivoactive 3. The pricing is as follows:Venu: €349 & €379 depending on bezels/buttonsVivoactive 4S: €279 & €299 depending on bezels/buttonsVivoactive 4: €299 & €329 depending on bezels/buttonsWith that, let’s talk all the new offerings in relation to the past model – the Vivoactive 3:– Music now standard: Including Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, and iHeartRadio– Venu features 1.2” AMOLED display: Super vibrant, lots of colors– Venu also adds ‘always-on’ mode despite AMOLED display– Added ambient light sensor tied to new display– Added new ‘Live’ Watch faces with small animations– Added secondary button to side: Used for lap, back, menu access– Added hydration tracking to manually track liquid intake with widget and app– Added Estimated Sweat Loss post-workout– Added Respiration Rate for all-day and sleep metrics (and certain workout types)– Added Breathwork Exercises (way different than simple breathing stress features)– Added Workout Animation functionality: For Strength, Cardio, Yoga, Pilates– Added new Yoga and Pilates Built-in workouts: Includes step by step animations– Added ability to design Yoga workouts in Garmin Connect: Complete with step by step pose animations– Added ability to design Pilates workouts in Garmin Connect: Complete with step by step animations– Added PulseOx for 24×7 blood oxygen tracking– Revamped health stat widget akin to latest Fenix/Forerunner models– Switched to Sony GPS chipset like remainder of Garmin 2019 unit lineup– Switched to Garmin Elevate V3 optical HR sensor– Connect IQ Developers will have access to create live watch faces– Battery life at 5 days standby, and 6 hours of GPS+MusicAs you can see, the vast majority of new features on the watch are far less focused on the swim/bike/run athlete that’s more common in Garmin’s Forerunner and Fenix lineup, and instead focused on a bit more of the lifestyle athlete that may be more varied in their day to day activity – which to be fair, was always the strength/target of the Vivoactive lineup, as this is within that family.For those not familiar with the Vivoactive lineup, here’s all the baseline features found on both the Venu & Vivoactive 4:– GPS tracking of activities (no reliance on phone)– Workout tracking of range of sports including running, cycling, pool swimming, skiing, golf, gym and many more (full list down below)– Structured workout support via downloadable workouts– 24×7 tracking of steps, stairs, calories, and distance– Smartphone notifications from iOS/AndroidSince release, many of these new features have also worked their way into the Fenix 6 lineup, and some also the FR945 and FR245 (as recently as an update today in fact – for respiration rate).

Of course, unlike Apple, Garmin allows 3rd party developers to create watch faces. While with the always-on option turned off I’d be pretty close to covering a week.As part of the higher-end display they have new ‘live watch faces’, which are mostly shortly animations that iterate each time you raise your wrist, just like below:And then, after the animation is complete, when in always-on mode it’ll continue to show the time atop blackness:However, where Garmin is way behind here is the number of live/active watch faces they have: A whopping four in total. I’d routinely make it about 2.5-2.8 days (inclusive of usually 1-2 workouts) before Venu would die, when in always-on mode. In three months of usage I’d agree with those numbers – they nail it. Garmin claims 2-3 days in always-on mode, and upwards of 5-7 days without the always-on display. But this year we saw Fitbit, Apple, and Garmin – join Samsung in that department.Still, atop paying more cash for this display you’re also paying a battery life price.

That’s fine though, as it saves a bit of battery life at a time I don’t really need it. Note, this is optional – but it is the default. When you hit your evening ‘Do not disturb’ settings (such as midnight to 7AM), it’ll actually turn off the display entirely. The NYC short time-lapses watch face I’ve been using is nice, but there’s zero reason Garmin can’t go to some stock libraries and get time-lapses for any of the major cities around the world and release a new one each month.Now while Garmin leverages the term ‘Always-on’, they do cheat a little bit if you use the default settings.

But the two buttons are spot-on for their purpose, especially in sports (to have a dedicated lap vs start/stop button).Moving along, like most other Garmin wearables you’ve got various widgets for displaying various stats (and these can be extended too with 3rd party apps). I was never a fan of the singular button design. I find the two button shifts a huge upgrade. This is of course in addition to the touchscreen. Previously it just had one.
