Questions and answers of the customers

  1. Q Does it sync heart rate to ifit while working out?
    A No, but that's the least of their problem, the heart rate monitoring is totally inaccurate.
  2. Q Does this track your spo2 all night while you sleep? or only until a certain time?
    A Tracks Spo2, averages while you sleep and you can measure anytime.
  3. Q How to program to count steps?
    A No
  4. Q What size is this item?
    A Hey Garmin, get with the program! Sure, there is a large option for the black version but apparently this isn’t it, although it doesn’t actually say that anywhere. Maybe think for even one second before answering. Sheesh.
  5. Q Does this require to be connected to a phone, or does it just work on its own?
    A It will work on its own ONCE you download the app and do all the settings. I had connected mine via Bluetooth to set up. However after it wouldn’t pair with the newer iPhone update, it still measured steps, stairs, activity and date/time- just no more connection to app on phone even after trouble shooting per instructions on Garmin site!
  6. Q Will Amazon be getting the grey back in stock?
    A I think they did.
  7. Q Can this measure heart rate continuously overnight?
    A I returned this. I didn’t want to charge it all the time. I got a Vivio without the heart rate
  8. Q Does the tracker tell time?
    A Yes
  9. Q I’ve lost usb charger where can I get one?
    A Either through Garmin or im pretty sure Amazon.
  10. Q Can i see the heart rate track history during all day?
    A Yes. The APP tracks it 24/7. It only drops out when you take it off.
  11. Q Does this have to be synced? Or can it be used independently
    A As a new owner, (so far) my answer is...yes, it seems to work independently, however when you want more information sinc the app. I have learned to turn the bluetooth feature from the garmin off when I don't need the app and turn it on and let all the data sinc. All your information is on the band, for example: how many steps you've taken, reminders, or whatever you want it to do. I hope this helps?
  12. Q There is no band size indicated on the page. Where do you find which size it is?
    A The band size is written in the description on the title.The should have a clear option/selection for sizes/colors so that buyers will be aware of them. I have bought the wrong size because I have missed to read the size in the description.
  13. Q Can this track workouts like pilates?? My Fitbit never did
    A Mine does not but I can manually add the time I spent doing yoga or pilates and it estimates the calories burned
  14. Q is it compatible with the iPhone 12 pro?
    A It is an APP. The APP comes in Android or Apple.
  15. Q Band size
    A It’s fairly small. It’s about 8”, and will fit wrists up to maybe 7.75”.
  16. Q Will this work without the use of a smartphone?
    A Hi, I believe you can use it without a smart phone by using Garmin connect online.I would suggest following up with garmin.com before purchasing.
  17. Q Is these the large band ?
    A Nope. For smaller wrist but did fit mine. No spare though
  18. Q What functions work without smart phone ????
    A everything without alert message, music control and weather info
  19. Q What size is the Black band? Size is not listed
    A About 1/3 of an inch wide
  20. Q Will it work with moto g power phone?
    A The Garmin Connect app will run on an Android phone.
  21. Q Has anyone compared the spo2 oximeter readings with another oximeter to see if they are accurate? My readings seem to be off.
    A 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.
  22. Q How do you know what size band you are ordering? i see no choices and the cs rep didn't know either!
    A I ordered two of these, one large (for my husband) and one regular (for me). The one with the large band says it’s a large band in the description, but the regular band doesn’t mention size. So if it doesn’t say it’s a large band then it should be a regular band. I hope that helps.
  23. Q Does this track stairs?
    A 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.
  24. Q Does this have an altimeter ? The specs on garmin.com says it has one. How accurate is the reading ?
    A It does have this feature. It is fairly accurate but also tracks hills you may be in riding on a bike or golf cart. Not just those when your climbing.
  25. Q How long will the rubber band last?
    A I have had a similar vivoSmart HR model. .... for about 4 years. Garmin customer service has been AWESOME. They have sent me replacements at no charge. yes, the little band that holds the extended strap has broken twice; now I just use Rainbow Loom rubberbands to hold it - colorful! I also had the band crack off when I smashed into the door frame. They replaced that as well. I have been pleased with my watch overall.
  26. Q Tienen correa de repuesto para este modelo vivasmart 4 ?
    A No
  27. Q can the device be worn with tracker part under the wrist, instead of on top?
    A Good question!
  28. Q Can it continuously display heart rate without having to switch screens or waking it up?
    A 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.
  29. Q Can silent alarms be set from app instead of device?
    A Yes
  30. Q Is this fitbit non-wireless? That's what I want!
    A Not sure what you mean by non wireless. This uses blue tooth to connect to an app on your phone.
  31. Q Will this model for the wrist of a small 12-year old? (5” approximate wrist). Also, can the app track all his stats at his age effectively?
    A My wrist is 7” and I still have 5 holes to tighten further or about a third of the band. I cannot answer with certainty on the second question but my opinion is it would.
  32. Q Anyone using this with the galaxy s20? purchased a fitbit charge 4 and it was hot garbage right out of the box. couldn't connect, wouldn't charge, etc
    A Works on galaxy j7 just fine. So, I guess it should work on s20 as well.
  33. Q Fit bit sucks why doesn’t last even a year?
    A This was an upgrade for a Garmin that lasted almost two years. After that length of time most users are ready to upgrade. I am very satisfied with this tracker. Sure I will upgrade later.
  34. Q Is there an alert after a period of inactivity?
    A Does this have a way to automatically email or message someone else if looks like my pulse or oxygen levels indicate that dying/unconscious/possibly in trouble?
  35. Q What is the life of the lithium battery in the watch?
    A For me - the battery lasts around 7 days before needing to be charged
  36. Q What size is the band? Is this the small or large?
    A I bought the large. It will fit most wrists. Hope this helps.
  37. Q Does the garmin virosmart 4 have a pcapplication to be downloaded to a computer?
    A Yes, use Garmin Express software.
  38. Q Does this support notifications from 3rd party apps? Such as discord or telegram.
    A I'm not sure about those two, but I can get notifications from many different apps on mine, so I had to turn some off.
  39. Q Metal trim accent band fell off (9 months). Does this affect performance or waterproof capabilities? How do I reattach trim?
    A This happened to me; I glued it back on with a low viscosity super glue (very little needed). Mine has remained waterproof. GArmin's online warranty service system said I'd have to pay for a replacement, which is just a little cheaper than a new one, so I figured self repair was the best option.
  40. Q Instead of swiping to see heart rate, is it possible to have heart rate displayed directly in the watch face so u can see it every time u look at it?
    A Yes and no. During a manual exercise, yes, your HR can display at all times. But in regular non-exercise mode there isn’t a watch face with time and HR which is strange to me but within the app you can go to device settings, appearance, home widget and select “last displayed” as your home widget. From your tracker, go to your HR and leave it on that screen, when you flip your wrist it will stay on HR for a bit, not permanently though. One thing you can do is set HR to be the second screen in the app under widgets which makes it a little faster to get to your HR.
  41. Q Does it support smart alarm based on your sleep cycle?
    A Not from the Garmin Connect app.
  42. Q Is a charger included?
    A There is a cable included that attaches to the watch that you plug in to charge it.
  43. Q does this track rowing?
    A Yes it tracks both indoor and outdoor rowing but I don’t think it predicts calories burned on the activity but instead on the time of duration, heart rate and user data input such as weight, height, age etc.
  44. Q If I purchase the wrong size or it doesn't fit correctly on my wrist, is this item returnable?
    A You have the standard amazon 30 day return window.
  45. Q Does the battery have the same expected life of about a year for the earlier models? Can it not be replaced, like the earlier model?
    A Hi Ken, this model doesn't use a regular battery like the earlier models. It required USB recharging. I was not happy with the way it inaccurately tracked my sleep, and went completely blank if out of Wi-Fi range, so I couldn't see anything when traveling. I ended up returning it and buying the Vivofit 3, which does use a battery with a one-year lifespan, and it seems much more accurate regarding my sleep patterns--and the watch stays function regardless of Wi-Fi accessibility. Good luck.
  46. Q Does this use your heart rate to calculate calories burned during a workout?
    A I think it uses a number of things to calculate calories burned during a workout. Not only heart rate, but your age, height, weight and the exercise type itself. I find the heart rate and steps quite accurate.
  47. Q Is it possible to disable Bluetooth on the vivosmart 4
    A Yes you can disable bluetooth from the watch itself by tapping the menu button, the phone icon, then the bluetooth symbol, then switching bluetooth to off.
  48. Q How durable is this? Was looking for something more durable then the vivoactive? Series for when i am working in an iron shop and dealing with sparks
    A Think you should be fine since it's only sparks you will deal with. The band is made with a rubber type material. Hope this helps
  49. Q Can you do the Toe to toe m challenge with kids?
    A No
  50. Q Is it waterproof?
    A Yes
  51. Q does this track swimming and biking
    A Yes, it can. You just need to set it for whichever activity you are currently doing.
  52. Q Can I get the measured data of the last 30 seconds? (Programmatically or as a csv file)
    A By downloading your info off the watch onto your phone, you can see pretty close to timing. That said, the watch itself shows your stats.
  53. Q Is the heartrate monitor external?
    A THE HEART MONITOR IS INTERNAL.
  54. Q Can you turn off the notifications?
    A Yes you can turn it off via DND on the tracker itself anytime you want. Or more permanently you can go to Phone Notifications on the app and choose whether or not you want notifications both for “during an activity” and also “not during an activity”. From each of those menus you can choose all notifications, calls only, calls and texts.
  55. Q Can I set timer for hourly activity alerts with the blue tooth turned off?
    A You'll need to have the Bluetooth turned on to get alerts. An Alarm is the only thing you can have set up that does not require Bluetooth. Blake with Garmin
  56. Q Does this have multi vibrating alarms?
    A You can set alarms on the device, however, the vibration would be the same for any alarm. For more information on alarms, please go to support.garmin.com for FAQ's and video's on functions of the device. Blake with Garmin
  57. Q Can it take HR rate when wet? under shower or in pool?
    A Watch Youtube video. https://youtu.be/SNBJJXjtpBo
  58. Q Does the tracker has to be connected to phone for sleep tracking? I turn off my phone at nights...
    A You can sync with your phone in the morning to see your sleep data. The device will store the data and will upload once you sync. Blake with Garmin
  59. Q Does it have memory so I can use it away from my phone?
    A Yes, it will store data and you can sync later. Blake with Garmin
  60. Q Does this tracker measure "active minutes" correctly?
    A I used a Fitbit charge 2 before I got the Garmin Vivosmart 4. I compared readings from two trackers wearing one on left wrist and one on right. I thought Fitbit 2 recorded activity better than Garmin. I tried this for three days. Garmin readings were lower than Fitbit. I switched wrists to see if there was a difference, but results were the same. Think Garmin is less accurate especially recording sleep activity, steps, distance, and stairs climbed. Steps and flights of stairs climbed matched counts I made and what was recorded on Fitbit.
  61. Q Can this connect to and communicate with a heart rate monitor chest strap? For example an ant device?
    A Na
  62. Q Does the watch face show the time in seconds (e.g. hh:mm:ss) or is it only hh:mm?
    A No, only minutes, hours.
  63. Q Is this a small or a large one?
    A They all only offer S/M except the black band you can also get in L.
  64. Q Can the Vivosmart 4 be paired with a chest strap hr monitor?
    A I don’t think so
  65. Q Does anyone know how it compares in size to fitbit flex 2 band? (A picture would be so great!)
    A The band is very thin
  66. Q Does the hr is continous same as the fitbit charge hr 2 ? otherwise, how often does it calculate the hr ?
    A Continuous
  67. Q I am having major problems with this tracker reading my activities. I would like to return it. What is the policy?
    A You should do the online chat with them , if they are not able to resolve issues , and unit is still under warranty - they have a good history of replacing faulty producst
  68. Q I am having trouble finding the Ox, in the app & vivo4.. where is, that, pls?
    A To confirm Joseph's response you go to the Menu and select the man with the heart icon and then select the circle with the X inside. If you tap that icon it will measure Pulse Ox. On the app it should be under your My Day list. Blake with Garmin
  69. Q Does it have an airplane mode?
    A To confirm what KT Fitz has stated the device does not have an 'Airplane' mode as it sync using Bluetooth with your phone. Blake with Garmin
  70. Q Does it have an "always on display?" E.G: Can you see the time/etc without having to touch or engage the device in any way?
    A The device doesn't have an 'always on', but you can set the device for Gesture so when you rotate your wrist toward your body the display will come on. This preserves battery life. Blake with Garmin
  71. Q How does one unlock the screen? i have the vivosmart hr, and it has a button that you press to start navigating the options/screens.
    A You may set up the device to use the 'Gesture' feature to turn the display on. This setting is found in Garmin Connect. As Jason M and Dale commented you may also tap the screen. Blake with Garmin
  72. Q Anyone know if this works on a Samsung S9 and also does it show the entire incoming texts? You can't answer texts or calls on this right?
    A If you tap on the messasge icon you can read the message on the device. You cannot answer the text on the watch, you must reply to it on the phone. You can tap the touchscreen and select the checkmark to accept the call on your smartphone but you have to talk into your phone or if you have a bluetooth headset paired with the phone you can accept the call on the device and speak into the headset. Blake with GarminBlake with Garmin
  73. Q Can you switch the band?
    A There are not other bands for this device as it is all one unit. The band cannot be replaced on this device. Blake with Garmin
  74. Q Does this resync to phone automatically?
    A Yes. When you open the app on your phone with the tracker within range it syncs. You can watch the progress of the sync in the app at the top. You can also plug it in to your computer and upload data to Garmin Express.
  75. Q Does it have GPS?
    A It doesn't have GPS
  76. Q Does this have the function to control the music on your phone like the 3 does?
    A Yes, the Vivosmart 4 has a bluetooth enabled remote control feature for a phone's music player. I never owned the older version, so I can't say if the feature is identical.
  77. Q Is this a small/medium band?
    A Small band
  78. Q Anyone wear this on the ankle and get decent heart rate stats?
    A No, but I tried wearing my Vivofit on my ankle once and someone thought it was an ankle monitor from court LOL. Needless to say, I never wore it on my ankle again 😁. I ended up sending my Vivosmart 4 back, wouldn't stay connected to bluetooth, but I understand that they have fixed to software.
  79. Q Is this model unisex?
    A Yes, although check your wrist measurements because the regular size is really meant for a smaller wrist. The large would be better for men, or women with bigger bone.
  80. Q is this with large band? description does not say?
    A No....the band is not large at all.
