User questions & answers

Question:	Can it continuously display heart rate without having to switch screens or waking it up
Answer:	Mine won't. I have to tap it to wake it up then scroll to get to the heart rate screen each time. However, I'm still learning about all of the things it will do.
Question:	There is no band size indicated on the page. Where do you find which size it is
Answer:	They are all s/m except the black has two options, one s/m and one L.
Question:	Does this track stairs
Answer:	It is suppose to track flights of stairs. Had a replacement because the first one did not. The new one was only slightly better. Counted 3 out of 6 flights of stairs. Was almost better at counting descending flights.
Question:	Has anyone compared the spo2 oximeter readings with another oximeter to see if they are accurate? My readings seem to be off
Answer:	I’ve compared it with a pulse oximeter on the same hand. Took a reading following instructions (stay still, arm raised at heart level). If worn the traditional way, the spo2 reading is off by 3% (a 98% on pulse ox will read 95% on the Garmin) consistently for me. If worn the way they recommend (further above the arm) for a sp02 reading, it is accurate and matches an oximeter.

Pulse Ox at Your Wrist

The Pulse Ox sensor on vívosmart 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 Monitoring

Sleep is important to your overall health, well-being and physical performance. To give you an idea of how you’re sleeping, vívosmart 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.

Optimize Your Body’s Energy

Body Battery energy monitoring on vívosmart 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 optimize 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 Tracking

You most likely experience stress at some point in your day, but how much? Your vívosmart 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), vívosmart 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?”) 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 Monitoring

Using the Elevate heart rate data collected from your wrist, vívosmart 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, vívosmart 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, vívosmart 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 Connected

With a vívosmart 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 vívosmart 4 greets you each day with a personalized 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 vívosmart 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, our online community, where you can review, edit and share the activities with your connections and friends.

User questions & answers

Question:	how does the alarm clock work, sound or vibration
Answer:	Just a quiet, short sequence of beeps. No vib alarm.
Question:	Is the vivofit 4 that bad? i have a vivofit 3 and its great, but i think i'll skip this version
Answer:	I moved up from a vivofit 2 to the 4. The display is much smaller than I am used to, but it does show more information with the different screens. I was disappointed that you can no longer sync directly with the computer, only with the phone. I do like that it still has the one year battery.
Question:	Does the watch show the date of month
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	What happens when the battery finally dies? Recharge, replace or the device is done? Thx
Answer:	My first one was an earlier model and each battery lasts about 14 months. Take it to a watch shop to ensure the battery is replaced and it is still water resistant. After almost 2-3/4 years the display finally died. I kept wearing it with no display (it still syncs data to the app). Now that it is time for a new battery I am getting the newer model.

Answer:	For course creation other than Garmin Connect Garmin devices are compatible with Strava and Map My Run. For more information contact us at [email protected] or visit our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ Thanks Jenny
Question:	Does this watch have a great compass,a good one, or none at all? I bought it for my son for Christmas the compass is an important feature for him
Answer:	Good Compass but not great Hold down on one of the buttons and the watch face becomes a compass. It shows the degrees (0-360) and the general direction (SE for example). You would not use this watch to plot a course on a map. For that, you can buy a compass for less than $20 that lie flat on a map, can be adjusted for a magnetic correction, they have lines, etc.

User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable is the Verizon Connected series when you do not have your phone on you? I have not been able to find any reviews on this specific one
Answer:	I don't know about the band size, but the diameter of the cases on most all Expeditions is 40mm....That's too large. It looks like an alarm clock on your arm...I returned the one I bought. Having said that, I would like to have one with a case diameter not exceeding 35mm.
Question:	Will the Verizon connected version still connect to wifi
Answer:	There are eight (8) holes in the strap.
Question:	Does this work with Samsung galaxy
Answer:	I think the band is OK for occasional moisture such as rain, would not wear it the shower or say canoing or kayaking. It has a synthetic suede like backing that absorbs water and takes awhile to dry, especially while worn. I would be OK immersing the watch in water such as swimming ( not diving) but would swap out the exisitng band for a nylon one for those activities. Band looks nice though and is comfortable ( so long as it is not wet)
Question:	Does lte cellular of this watch work outside us
Answer:	In December 2020 this listing included models where the the crown is inset into the bezel for protection (40mm) and models where the crown is unprotected (37mm). In 1944 the standard military field watch was 35mm to 37mm but today 37mm is considered a small watch for women. Some of the most expensive reproductions of WWII watched are also 36mm or 37mm.

Your sense of style is uniquely you. Let vívosmart 3 complement that style without trying to overshadow it. Featuring a slim, inconspicuous band, vívosmart 3 is as hip as anything in your closet. Even better, it’s a master of subtlety. The tracker’s hidden display is only visible when you want it to be. When you’re not using it, it disappears into the device.

Wellness Monitoring

vívosmart 3 tracks heart rate variability (HRV), which is used to calculate and display your stress level. You can look at this graph right on your device anytime you’re sitting or at rest. When the level starts to move up, it indicates that your stress is getting higher. What causes this? Any number of physical or emotional external sources. vívosmart 3 helps you recognize when this is happening so you can find a way to relieve the stress.

Your Personal Rep Counter

Gym rats, rejoice. We’re adding a companion to your workout — or more specifically, a companion that’s great at keeping count. When you start a strength training activity on vívosmart 3, the device will capture your exercises, reps and sets along with your work and rest times so you can leave the notebook at home. That data gets pushed to Garmin Connect during your next sync so you can review your workout in even greater detail.

Garmin Vivosport GPS Activity Tracker Not all activity trackers are created equal and the new Vivosport from Garmin is ten steps ahead—and counting—of the crowd. With all-day (and night) activity tracking, wrist-based heart rate and a built-in GPS that maps your walks, runs and bike rides while tracking your distance and pace, this sleek new wearable gives you everything you need to meet fitness goals head-on while dominating your everyday agenda. Features: The vivosport requires no fancy fitness watch packaging, or the price that typically accompanies them, to map your fitness activities and capture your distance and pace. With the built-in GPS, you’ll get your onscreen pace over distance or heart rate, plus an at-a-glance sketch of where you walked, ran or biked. When you aren’t getting the much-needed details of your more intense daily activity, vivosport will show you your steps taken, floors climbed, sleep, and calories burned, with move alerts to keep you motivated to take more steps. Know thy heart rate at all times with the wrist-based heart rate that requires no chest strap to show you your pulse at any given moment. A 7-day battery life means you’ll only have to charge vivosport just once per week; and if you’re racing in GPS mode at an all-day event, you’ll have 8 hours on the clock without the need to charge. Watch your VO2 max and fitness age improve in time with vivo sports’ advanced fitness monitoring tools that keep you informed of the kind of progress that adds years to your life. Transition into a power walk or run without worry if you forget to switch gears on your vivosport screen; the Move IQ feature will automatically detect a change in movement and begin tracking your new activity. Stress happens to the best of us, though your vivosport won’t let it get the best of YOU. After detecting any unusual spike in your heart rate, vivosport will alert you of your elevated stress score and display a timed breathing exercise to bring you back

Question:	Is this watch waterproof
Answer:	your best answer will be on the garmin website. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/641375/pn/010-02157-23
Question:	Does this track elevation gain during your run
Answer:	In other words, not as a good as Sapphire. While the Power Glass and Gorilla glass appear slightly less reflective direct sunlight, the Sapphire is the superior material in terms of scratch resistance and I have found there is very little trade off in terms of visibility.
Question:	Would this fit a small woman's wrist
Answer:	The Fenix 6X Pro has detailed topographic maps of North America and also has a basemap that covers the rest of the world. Other map regions can be purchased and added to the watch if required
Question:	What advantage does the 235 have over the 35 to justify $100+ more
Answer:	The screen is made of a material called Power Glass. The Bezel is titanium and the case is a fiber-reinforced polymer with a stainless steel rear cover
Question:	What material is the Solar's pro bezel made of
Answer:	It is an activity tracker. It will track the quality of your sleep, but you must manually turn sleep mode on and off, but it is not an alarm clock. Manual may be found here: http://static.garmin.com/pumac/vivofit_OM_EN.pdf
Question:	How does the strength & scratch resistance of garmin's power glass compare to sapphire and gorilla glass
Answer:	There is no charger. The battery has a shelf life of apx 1 year.
Question:	Which maps come with the fenix 6x pro? only north america or the entire world
Answer:	It did not come in the original package
Question:	Is the 6x Pro Solar Black model made of titanium and does it have a sapphire screen
Answer:	This device does not track your heart rate. More expensive models may do that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will my charge 3 bands fit the charge 4? Would i need to purchase new bands, again
Answer:	Charge 3 bands are interchangeable with Charge 4 bands. They're the same exact size.
Question:	Will this watch offer heart rate variability tracking or collect data that can be extracted by an app for hrv tracking
Answer:	yes
Question:	Will a regular charge 4 band fit on the charge 4 special edition? Looks like it has special connections
Answer:	From the best I can tell from all the internet research I've done the only difference in the 2 fitbit is the band or strap material. Otherwise they are exactly the same. They give you a fancy band and charge you more. Otherwise the fitbit 4 is identical the the fitbit 4 special edition.
Question:	Does GPS require paying a monthly fee to anyone or is it free
Answer:	Until Fitbit allows GPS phone tethering on the Charge 4 - you are better off with a Charge 3 (or Charge 2). Otherwise you're looking at 1-2 hours battery life while exercising with GPS, missed stats, and constantly recharging this thing (more often than an apple watch). Fitbit could fix this tomorrow by allowing tethering, but they do not, and are censoring the issue on their forums. Don't downgrade!
