Garmin vivofit 4
Main features
Garmin vivofit 4 gained its second spot on our list due to function, style, and reasonable price. It’s a runner-up mainly because it costs more than our no 1 pick, and that’s excluding shipping. But there are many things that we liked about vivofit 4 that are worth the mention. First and foremost, this fitness smartwatch has a battery life of one full year! Secondly, Move IQ technology recognizes different types of activities and tracks their length, automatically setting a timer. Also, this fitness smartwatch detects your daily goals and nudges them forward ever so slightly, so you’d always be better than you were before. The color bar also shows inactivity levels and resets when you move, thus helping you avoid the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle. Finally, the Garmin Connect app offers a fun way to both compete with your friends, notice statistics, and even partake in the Toe-to-Toe challenge with your kids. If your children have a vivofit jr fitness watch, you can try to out-do each other by seeing who gets more steps throughout the day. So, basically, Garmin vivofit encourages both personal and group activity.
Design
There are two size options (small/medium and large) and two colors (black or white) for vivofit 4. Its design is also one of the most stylish ones, fitting all genders yet still looking quite unique in terms of fitness watches. There are more design customizations, but those would need to be arranged and purchased separately. Garmin’s bright color display can be seen even in the water or the sunlight, so you can always check the metrics. But there are even more ways to make vivofit 4 match your personal style: you can customize its color themes, pick between several watch faces, or even add your custom text phrases. When it comes to style, this Garmin smartwatch is hard to beat.
Ease of use
You don’t need to stay constantly connected to the Garmin app to use this fitness smartwatch. It occasionally connects to it automatically if you have set it up to upload data, but otherwise, the power is entirely at your fingertips. With a simple button and touchscreen controls, you’ll be able to switch between different modes. Move IQ technology also automatically starts and stops your activity timer and can even detect various activities – like swimming or running – so you wouldn’t have to input them manually. So, if you don’t mind spending more than you perhaps intended to, then you shouldn’t encounter any issues using vivofit 4.
⌚ Value
Yes, Garmin vivofit 4 is definitely pricier than our No 1 pick. But it makes up for it with its stylish design, simple controls, and countless features. If you want a smart fitness watch for an affordable price, then Fitryx Pro would do the trick, but if you want to take it up to the next level and don’t mind paying extra, then vivofit 4 is the best alternative of them all. To determine which device would be better for you, we suggest evaluating what exact features are of utmost importance.
