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.

No phone? No worries:

Connecting your vívoactive 3 Music smartwatch with Verizon lets you take advantage of phone-free texting, and safety and tracking features. For example, if anything should happen, hold the watch’s button until the watch vibrates three times to activate the assistance feature, which discreetly sends a message with your real-time location to your preloaded emergency contacts. That way, help has an easier time finding you. The watch also has incident detection, which automatically sends a message with your real-time location to your preloaded emergency contacts if an incident is detected during an outdoor walk, run or bike activity. Or let friends and family follow your activities in real time whenever you like by simply initiating the LiveTrack feature from the watch. And that’s not all.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does the always on mode affect the battery life? Can you still get to ~5 days on a charge
Answer:	No, I don’t think so, probably more like 3.
Question:	Is there a waterproof mode
Answer:	No, as it is already waterproof. Unlike the Apple Watch, there is no extra button to press. Just put it on and jump in. Although, make sure the bottom, at the very least, is completely dry before charging.
Question:	Does the Garmin Venu´s display stay permanently on
Answer:	Certain watch faces seem to have more trouble staying on than others. Also, the image does not stay permanently on, just the time.
Question:	How is this watch different from Vivoactive 4 besides the display
Answer:	I got the Venu over the Vivoactive 4 simply because of the display. I personally didnt see any notable differences between the two models. if you are looking for detailed differences you should compare the specs between the two. The only thing i can see a difference in is the battery life/display. Based on over a month of usage, on average i get a solid 6-7 days of regular usage.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between the sport version and the premium version of the Vivomove HR
Answer:	No you don't, you can download your daily info to Garmin connect....this is a great watch
Question:	Whatsapp message display and reply functionality
Answer:	I ordered on January 13 and haven't heard anything about shipping. So I reached out to Garmin customer service today and they said it will be another 2-3 weeks for the 5S Sapphire. I'm not sure how folks are receiving theirs already if Garmin told me today that it hasn't been released yet...... I know that people who ordered the Fenix 5S (non Sapphire) already received them and they are even in stores already, so maybe that is what people have actually received.
Question:	What notifications do you get? Can you respond
Answer:	What are utm coordinates
Question:	To verify, this can be worn while swimming
Answer:	I have the Fenix 5S. The Wrist HR seems good when I am not active; like at my desk at work, sitting around the house, etc. But when I hit the gym and I am gasping for air, my wrist HR at times will record #'s in the 50's/60's. Impossible when I am working near my threshold. I don't have this issue when I put my chest strap on. This seems to be a consistent trend regardless of which Garmin wrist wearable I wear; I have several.

User questions & answers

Question:	It doesn't track HR in water, does anyone know if it is compatible with a swim strap or if it still counts calories
Answer:	It believe it is compatible with a swim strap. If you are just playing around in a pool, it will still sample your HR. But once you have it in swim mode, it disables HR and you the HR graph for the day shows an empty spot for your swim workout.
Question:	I know this has a built in heart rate sensor that monitors 24/7 and I like that. However, can you add a chest strap device to it for better readings
Answer:	yes: manual says "... is also compatible with ANT+ chest heart rate monitors", it also says: "When both wrist-based heart rate and ANT+ heart rate data are available, your device uses ANt+ heart rate data"
Question:	My wrist is about 5 1/2-5 3/4 inches, the distance from radius to ulna is about 1 1/2". Will this rest on my wrist properly
Answer:	My wrist is the same exact size and it fits wondetfully. I was worried about it being too big but it doesnt flop around in the wind like I was expecting and I still have room to go tighter.
Question:	Do each of you basically look at the product description to answer people's questions? That is, since none of you actually own this product yet
Answer:	I only answer questions for products I purchase, and I answer to the best of my ability. If the product was a gift, I so state, but I respond. Amazon provides an excellent vehicle to disseminate customer experiences and information. Of course, just like most things these days, there are the few do otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this watch sized for a man or is it unisex
Answer:	The outside bezel of the watch measures 48mm, and it stands approx 13mm off your wrist (thickness). The watch ships with 2 straps, one stainless steel and one silicone in a cool colour. The stainless strap is perfect for everyday and dress wear, and the silicone strap for sports/gym. I would say it is a unisex watch, BUT as cool as it looks, if you're a small lady it will look HUGE on your arm. I've seen a few ladies wear similar Garmin watches like the Fenix 5x, and it looks OK. Warning, this watch gives others MAJOR watch envy. I upgraded from the Fenix 5x and I am absolutely impressed!! BTW, I have slim wrists for a guy.
Question:	Can i get sog and cog without antenna (with internal gps) in the boat data app
Answer:	Yes. It's a great boating watch, especially if you do sailboat racing.
Question:	Does this have the anchor alarm function
Answer:	Yes it does. It works nicely. But the trick is to decide on the radius of alarm - which you can set on the watch. Problem is that if you set it up to let's say 100 feet, you may be turning around the anchor with the wind shift, or actually drift 100 feet. But that's is always the issue with anchor alarm.
Question:	Can you use Spotify with this
Answer:	You will have to get the app "G-Playlist for Spotify" in Garmin Connect. Mike, Garmin

Specifically Designed for the Water

Building on our popular fēnix 5 platform, our next-generation multisport marine smartwatch provides comprehensive boat connectivity. It connects with compatible Garmin chartplotters and other devices to stream data to your quatix 5 watch, including speed, depth, temperature and wind. Compact and stylish with quick-change bands, it also sports advanced fitness features and a wrist-based heart rate monitor. With built-in activity profiles and performance metrics for paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing — whatever sport you want to track, quatix 5 has you covered.

Built-in Activity Tracking

Whether you’re on water or dry land, quatix 5 can track your physical activities. It features Elevate wrist-based heart rate monitor, which provides 24/7 monitoring without the use of a chest strap. It also offers advanced fitness training features that include training statistics and activity profiles for multiple sports/activities such as running, biking, swimming, hiking and golfing.

Comprehensive Smart Connectivity

Smart notifications through quatix 5 let you receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch — whether you're on the water, trail, golf course or simply away from your desk. Other connected features include automatic uploads to our Garmin Connect online fitness community, live tracking and social media sharing through our free Garmin Connect and Garmin Connect Mobile applications.

Collect Water Sports Data

Whether you’re paddle boarding, kayaking or canoeing, quatix 5 will track your stroke and distance per stroke plus your total distance; it even provides lap tracking. Plus, if water skiing, you can check your boat speed with a glance at your quatix 5 watch.

Enjoy Your Entertainment

You can actually control your onboard entertainment system with quatix 5. Use the built-in FUSION-Link Lite app to control connected StereoActive products as well as other ANT-enabled stereo models (RA70/BB100).

Wrist-based Heart Rate

On your wrist, Elevate wrist heart rate technology lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, the watch uses heart rate to provide calories burned information and quantify the intensity of your fitness activities.

Always Impressive

Sleek, stylish design makes a statement on and off the water. Equipped with Garmin exclusive QuickFit band system, quatix 5 allows you to change the band quickly and easily with no tools. It also features preloaded marine-styled watch faces you can change to fit your mood. It’s also compatible with Connect IQ so you can download more free watch faces and activity apps.

Take Control Anywhere On Board

Advanced autopilot control and remote waypoint marking features allow you to maintain control of your vessel, even if you are not the one at the helm. With the quatix 5 watch, you can actually access a GHC 20 autopilot control unit to control the autopilot — change heading, turn and steer the boat. You also have remote waypoint marking, which allows you to add a waypoint from quatix 5 and have it sync automatically with your connected chartplotter.

Take Advantage of Garmin SailAssist Capabilities

When it comes to sail racing, don’t just time your start, visualize it. See a virtual starting line represented on your quatix 5 with 2 waypoints creating the starting line of a sailing race. With distance to start line, you’ll know how far you are from the line based on the distance to the virtual starting line. You’ll also have race countdown timer to count down the time to the start of the race and time to burn if the virtual starting line is present. And tack assist will determine whether the boat is being headed or lifted and then easily calibrate the boat’s port/starboard tack angles with the touch of a button.

Navigate Across Water and Land

quatix 5 watch is equipped with high-sensitivity GPS navigation and tracking functions plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensor capabilities. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing, whether you’re moving or not. In addition, there’s an internal gyroscope to help improve position accuracy (and battery life) in UltraTrac mode.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this store music and play to a blue tooth headset
Answer:	No It is a TACTICAL watch, was made for military use. I have it and have used it in Syria, Iraq and several other countries. It is a really good watch and has a great battery life, playing music would kill the battery.

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.
Question:	I do desert exploring on a polaris rzr. can i track my course while riding and then use it to return home the way i came

User questions & answers

Question:	When in "normal" non-exercise mode, can i set the watch face just to display time, day & date
Answer:	Yes, I wear it as a watch that normally displays time, date and battery life. Then I can toggle thru other displays when I want to see heart rate, steps, weather, calendar, workout, or any of the other features.
Question:	Does the GPS work if it's covered by a jacket or long sleeved shirt
Answer:	I purchased this for my wife so I do not use it however I am a surveyor so I do have vast experience with GPS. GPS signals will not be hindered by thin materials such as cloth. Inside buildings with wood and shingle roofs will throw the location of a bit reducing the accuracy. GPS signals simply do not penetrate metal objects. That being said you should not experience any loss of signal or accuracy using typical clothing items. You may experience some issues if the device was covered with something metallic such as those solar blankets. Perhaps a good experiment to ease your mind is use your cell phone's GPS tucked into your sleeve as the technology is nearly identical in all small consumer products.
Question:	Is it water resistant
Answer:	Yes, it is...I looked at the manual and the water rating is actually 5 ATM (atmospheres), not 5 meters. 5 ATM actually equates to about 50 meters deep, so technically you could swim or shower with this watch just fine. Just be aware that this model doesn't currently have any swim tracking features built in so there's not much of a point to swimming with it anyway (although you can install apps from Garmin Connect IQ, so perhaps there is a swim tracking app on there).Source: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating(the "Swim" section of the table on that page has a footnote which references devices rated at 5ATM)
Question:	Does this watch have continuous heart rate monitoring like the fitbit surge
Answer:	I am not familiar with the fitbit however this garmin 235 monitors your heart rate constantly as long as you are wearing it. I wear mine even while I am sleeping. It is neat to see my resting heartbeat. Love it!

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.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it keep track of activities once the 60 minute goal is met
Answer:	Definitely yes.. you will see 2x on watch
Question:	Does the band display steps etc so the child can see their stats without the app
Answer:	The band displays time, date, steps, active minutes, chores completed, coins earned based on chores. Additionally it will display a timer (2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 min), a stop watch along with serial number and software edition. It is easy to go between the different settings and set timers. My 7 year old figured it out within a day and is highly proficient.
Question:	What happens after a year? Do uou replace the battery or do you have to replacw the whole thing
Answer:	Yes! I found the answer on the Garmin website under the specs tab, "One replaceable CR1632 coin cell". https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/health-fitness/vivofit-jr-/prod544984.html
Question:	What happens after the 1 year with the battery? Is this item only intended to last for one year then the entire band would have to be replaced
Answer:	I have bought 4 (total) for my three children. You can easily change the battery after the battery dies. However, I am quickly learning these really don’t last much past a year. I needed to replace my daughters battery just over the 1 year mark. Shortly after that, it stopped working. I had to replace the entire thing. The same thing is starting to happing with my son’s activity tracker.
