Simple to Operate

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

Verified Purchase

I have had a Garmin Vivofit 4 for several years prior to this and, while it was still working well, the metal button you push to change functions, no longer worked. I bought THIS particular version, despite it being more expensive and having fewer functions than Vivofit 7, because I am familiar with how it works and monitors what I want monitored. I LOVE this device!! It is battery operated and the battery lasts 1+ year. (I got replacement battery at Batteries Plus where I paid for lifetime battery replacement for just $25.) The size of the face of the watch is smaller than Apple watch. (People often comment how nice the size is.) The bracelet is perfect for my small wrist. Again, easy to use/maintain. If wanting more functions, you can get Vivofit 7 for cheaper price. Either way, you'll love this device!!

A useful step counter, with long battery life and goal streak tracking

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

I have purchased this watch at least 3 times, including some custom straps for different colors.

My favorite features of this watch are the long battery life and step goal streak tracking. This watch enabled me to keep a baseline level of walking for 2+ years, reaching a few 200+ day streaks and greatly improved my baseline fitness. My approach was to set a very achievable baseline daily goal (6000 steps) and then try to consistently hit that every day.

Based on the above, I would give this watch 5 stars. However it is not durable enough, hence the score I gave.

PROS:

Great battery life. Consistently 1 year-plus. Can take it to a watch shop to replace when the battery dies, or try yourself. No need to charge or take off, just use it.

Has step goal setting and tracking. In addition, it keeps track of how many days you've hit your goal and gives a fun sound and animations when you hit it.

Can set the watch to sync steps to your phone and configure it that way. I set the sync setting to about once a day to avoid extra battery use. It's fun to see the step progress over time and to hit various goals.

Has a small backlight that you can activate, which is helpful for seeing at night. I like the aesthetic of the color e-ink display (useful for having long battery life.)

Some degree of sleep tracking, and useful since you don't need to take it off to charge.

Seems water resistant. Can at least shower with it.

Lightweight. I wear it alongside a watch that has a stronger backlight and stopwatch features.

CONS:

It's not very durable. As previously stated, I have had to purchase multiple watches.

Failure modes I've encountered:
- Steps get discarded [!]. For example, I notice that I'm 250 steps less than an hour before, or I hit the goal and have to keep hitting it. These are the most frustrating since that is the main point of the watch and means I'm going to have to buy another one.
- Screen gets scrambled or turns off. Also means the watch is going bad.
- Audible high pitched noise when activating backlight (not a dealbreaker)
- Strap breaking (this is reasonable)

The first time I chalked this up to me replacing the battery and it getting water in it, but it even happens without much water exposure or without changing the battery. My best approach now is to avoid swimming with it, since I'm not getting steps then anyway.

There's no warning when the battery is running out or will run out. The watch just turns off.

Overall I got a lot of value out of this watch, and compared to top-end smart watches it is not too expensive. So for about a year of zero maintenance step counting, you may consider it worth it.

When you see MOST reviews are one star...pay attention. Me? I didn't pay attention. UPDATE: Buy a Fitbit Alta HR. I did.

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have a Vivofit 2. It was tricky to pair, but after a lot of screwing around it did, and I like the battery powered aspect. These do everything I need.

But it's bulky, and I tore it up pretty good so the screen is hard to read. I figure if a Vivofit 2 works, the 4 would work. Yeah, I know that MOST of the reviews here say it won't pair, but what do THOSE people know? I paired a model 2, I can make it work.

One laptop and 4 different Android phones later, and I find it necessary to admit I am a complete failure. This crappy little lump of plastic won't pair with anything.

My Vivofit 2 paired with the laptop immediately - I have an Ant Stick but never connected the 2 to my laptop, just my desktop. 30 seconds later, it was paired. It was on my Motorola G5S already, so I paired it with with a backup LG G4. Easy peasy. My BIL's Samsung Galaxy 8 Edge. Boom. Like butter. My sister's iPhone 6. Took a minute instead of 30 seconds, but it paired right up.

The Vivofit 4? Nothing. It paired with nothing. Now I know before, with the Vivofit 2, I had to use the Ant Stick and pair to the PC to make certain a software update was pushed to it, and that fixed pairing issues.

Today, I started to pair with the laptop and the Vivofit 4 put a symbol on the screen that doesn't exist in ANY of their documentation - anywhere - but I presumed it meant I was getting an update. 4 hours later it still had the same symbol. I lost track of time, but when the screen went to the step counter I tried again...and it wouldn't pair with anything.

Garmin's support number actually gave a busy signal. When was the last time anyone got a busy signal calling tech support? I might not be wrong to say this is due to the volume of poor suckers like me who bought this piece of junk. Their chat was so backed up I was never offered a response other than "call (uh, right) or send and email." I sent an email but by that time, having wasted so many hours, I vented and called them names (not fair - the poor sucker who reads what I wrote isn't to blame. I should apologize.

So yeah, I give up. These Vivofits just tell me how far I walked, how many steps I took, make up a bunch of BS about calories burned, and that's about it. I quit. I have an app on my phone now for that, I don't need this little plastic bit of dog$#!t.

UPDATE: Just wanted to thank the preschoolers at Garmin for never once - not once - attempting to respond to my technical support queries. And so, I bought a Fitbit Alta HR. Here's a review:

It was a little more pricey than the Garmin, but I got it home, had it synced to my phone is 45 seconds, and it's worked perfectly since. I have no idea why I got the HR, because until now I wasn't interested in heart rate...but now I am curiously interested in my heart rate. Go figure.

Narrower but taller then the Garmin, and still unobtrusive. It seems to better understand when I am sleeping and when I am watching television.

Rather than starting a stopwatch to grab activity data, it just automatically figures any time I am moving well for at least ten minutes that's an activity and it immediately records it as such. I really like that. I think the Vivofit 4 does that, but as I found the Vivofit 4 I purchased actually does nothing useful at all I never got to find out.

The screen is legible. I have to tap it to see it, but the screen on the Garmin was pretty awful anyway, even when backlit.

The only edge the Garmin has is the battery. I will have to charge my beautiful, extremely useful, easy-to-pair and perfectly functioning Fitbit Alta HR every 4-5 days. The cheesy, non-functional, impossible to pair, even more impossible-to-read-the-screen-of Garmin Vivofit 4 will be a total piece of garbage for a full year before having the change the battery in order to suffer through another full year of knowing what an awful piece of crap it is.

Lesson learned: do not by a Garmin Vivofit 4. Buy a Fitbit Alta HR. This should be a constitutional amendment.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Just to help people make their choices I wanted to add that it's been 2 weeks. I still have not had a response from Garmin to my email queries regarding pairing issues, queries which were a desperate attempt to get *some* sort of an answer since their contact center number gave a busy signal and their chat service was not available. My Fitbit Alta HR, however, works great. Garmin' laziness, dysfunctional support structure, and hysterically non-functional wearable product is the best marketing Fitbit ever had. You can't pay people to suck so bad they drive customers to you, but with Garmin the wearable market got a bonus.

Works well like the previous versions but the display is VERY small!

Reviewed in Canada on July 29, 2023

I miss the older Vivofits. They were reliable and good battery life. I though I would give this a try even though I hate downloading apps on my phone. Be warned....the display on this tracker is very small! I have good vision and don't wear eye glasses or contact lens, but I find I have to almost squint to see the steps or calaries at the bottom of the time clock. Steps are pretty accurate as the previous version. I have yet to see how long this original batter will last.

I dont know when the battery life started but my Garmin Express says it needs replacing. Where do I get a new batery? Otherwise everything is fine and I like the watch. The delivery was in time but over packaged.

Lo adquirí para un regalo, sin embargo leía reviews poco consistentes. Seguramente no leyeron que este modelo NO monitorea HR, y que para aprovecharlo al máximo se requiere la instalar la app al telefono. El tamaño de la pantalla es muy estética con la pulsera.

Pareciera algo complejo configurarlo al principio, de ahí en más parece que funcionó muy bien.

El precio y la calidad de los materiales son justos.
