Garmin Vivoactive 4S GPS Smartwatch, Silver

Excelente, lo uso principalmente para nadar así que ultra probado que es a prueba de agua, tenia un galaxy active que después de unas aguas termales ya no encendió, este ha soportado eso y hasta caídas en motocicleta sin tener más que unos raspones, midiendo ejercicios la batería le dura como 3-4 días, sin hacer ejercicio le dura hasta casi la semana completa, la batería es un gran punto a favor, en viajes cortos no necesitas llevar cargador.

Muy recomendado

Those of you more interested in fitness first, smartwatch features second, will really enjoy this watch. My Vivoactive HR just died after having it for over 3 years, so I upgraded to the Vivoactive 4. This is a major upgrade in terms of looks and features. Here are all the things I love:
1) Two buttons – I originally bought the Vivoactive 3 Music because it was on sale for $200, but I quickly realized that missing the second button was a major pain point for me. Having the two buttons is so much more convenient for overall navigation. Also when you’re in a workout, the second button can be used for setting a lap (instead of the vivoactive 3 where you have to double tap the screen). The second button alone was worth the extra spend. The vivo3 had a 20mm band, where the vivo4 is 22mm. The bigger band makes it look a lot better. The extra 0.1in screen space is well utilized also. It does make a difference.
2) Touch screen – I also tested out the Fenix 5 Plus for a while; now that is a great watch. The only issue I had with the Fenix was that you had to navigate all with buttons. The buttons are great for fitness and water sports, but when you’re in the office, it’s a little awkward when you’re sitting in a meeting pressing buttons to navigate through texts or emails. Fenix was an amazing fitness watch, don’t get me wrong, but it didn’t work for my professional life expectations. Because it felt weird to have to press 5 buttons on the Fenix at the office, I wanted to go back to the touchscreen. Touchscreen is so much quicker and easier than the buttoned Garmins. It also looks cooler, and makes it truly feel more like a smartwatch.
3) Fitness features – If you’re never had a Garmin before, they are amazing tools to help your fitness. The data it collects is leaps and bounds better and more accurate than any other smart watch. This watch has way more than the average athlete would ever need as it pertains to fitness features. There are tons of apps available, and its so easy to navigate and customize to your need. I use it mainly for running, golf and open ocean canoe paddling, using the SUP app. Though it’s a touch screen, it still responds decently well when you’re using it on the water soaking wet. You just have to kinda dry it off before you try to navigate while on the water. But here’s the deal, if you’re truly serious about your training, you’re probably working too hard to even mess with your watch during the workout anyway, so focus on your training, not tapping away at your watch. I set it to buzz after every mile so I can see each mile pace. It works well for the 5-10+ mile sessions when I’m trying to beat my time. I listen to music when I’m out paddling, and it’s a really nice feature. Haven’t had any issues connecting to my waterproof earphones, even with all the movement during a workout. I use the Mpow Flame waterproof earphones. Golf app is awesome: front, middle and back of the green yardage.
4) Battery life – this is the biggest reason for me to get a Garmin instead of an Apple, Fossil or Samsung. I didn’t want to be glued to my charger every night so instead I got this and get a full week’s worth of battery. The always-on display is bright enough to see in daylight and at nighttime, but technology is what helps it save energy instead of the higher end amoled screens. It charges really quickly too so if I forget to charge it, I can just juice it up really quickly. A 10 minute charge gets me about 30% of battery.
5) Smart features – The fact that Garmin has begun to integrate smart features to their watches is amazing. Yes, you can’t do everything one would like to do on a watch like talk to siri, look at pictures, or make phone calls. But why are you looking on your watch for all that stuff anyway? Is it really necessary when our phones are so advanced now? I get all my selected phone notifications, I can read texts and preview emails, and that’s really all i need. Remember, fitness first, smartwatch second.

All in all, this is an amazing fitness watch, and I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the market for a new watch. Totally worth the spend, and for my needs I’d say it is a major upgrade from the apple/samsungs.

I purchased the Garmin Vivoactive 4S about 3 months ago, and I’m really enjoying this watch.

When I started working at my current employer 6 years ago, I found out they offered a health insurance discount if you earn “healthy life points”. In this case, I could enter fitness activity manually, or sync my health insurance program with cooperating providers (Garmin, fitbit, Google, etc.). Back then I started out with the Vivosport, which lasted a while until the rubber band broke. After the Vivosport, I purchased the Vivoactive 3+music.
I kept the Vivoactive 3+music for a long time, but over time, the battery in that watch started to show its wear, requiring frequent charges, and I kept having to clean corrosion off the charging port. So I started looking for a upgrade.

After a lot of research, considering many other watches (Fossil smartwatch, Pixel watch, Galaxy, Fitbit, etc), I ended up coming right back to Garmin for 1 main reason: battery life.

After a few months of wear on the Vivoactive 4S, I can note a few things:
– Battery life is still “best-in-class”. I usually can go a week on a charge. The trick to this is finding a watchface that is more dimly lit (the one pictured is what I have been using for a while now).
– Heart Rate Sensor definitely appears to be more accurate than the Vivoactive 3+music. I have a diagnosed sinus arrhythmia (cardiologist says it’s normal for my age). At times, the Vivoactive 3+music would incorrectly count my heart rate. The Vivoactive 4S so far appears to track my heart rate more accurately.
– The watch sits a little taller off the wrist than the Vivoactive 3+music, but it hasn’t bothered me at all.
– The display does have a higher resolution than the Vivoactive 3+music, even though the 4S screen is smaller, I have no trouble clearly seeing the finer print things I have on my watch display.
– The “Body Battery” feature was new to me, but I’m starting to like it as a sanity check as to how I’m feeling and the kind of rest I’m having. I recently came down with a stomach virus, and overnight my “Body Battery” indicator dropped from the 70s to the 10s (I had elevated HR and respiration rate through the night). So it feels like this feature can provide good insights.
– The “stress” indicator also appears to be useful. A few times it has notified me that I need to take a break and relax, and a few breathing exercises have done the trick to calm me down.

My one and only complaint about this watch is the charging port. On occasion I have trouble getting it to make good contact, and have to jiggle it or flip it around. Thankfully charging isn’t a daily requirement. I really hope Garmin includes wireless charging capability in the next generation of their smartwatches (thus eliminating my only complaint).

So in summary, I still really like the Garmin family of watch products, and the Vivoactive 4S is no exception.

Excelente, chegou super bem embalado, antes do prazo de entrega. Nao tem o idioma inglês, porém, no google consegui o manual em português e estou conseguindo usar normalmente, as funções são bem detalhadas, relógio bem funcional e eu estou bem satisfeita.
