Garmin Vivoactive 4

When it comes to wearables, the American brand Garmin comes to mind. Moreover, these are not only expensive charged Phoenixes, but also smart gadgets of a simpler rank. One of them is the Vivoactive 4 functional smartwatch.

transflective screen

The leading model of the 4th series is available in a 45 mm body. The front panel of the watch case is crowned with a transflective display with a diagonal size of 1.3" and a resolution of 260x260 pixels. The protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 gives the screen greater resistance to scratches and mechanical damage. The display responds to touch and transmits the image in colour.

Sports component

In terms of activities , the smartwatch collects information about the number of steps taken, registers the distance covered, counts calories burned, and records more than 20 types of sports training. The data is interpreted in a digestible form in the Garmin Connect branded smartphone application. Sports is designed to brighten up the built-in audio player with storage for music tracks. In the "GPS + music" mode, the watch works without a break for 6 hours.

Energy monitor

A new tool on board the watch is Body Battery Energy Monitoring. By analyzing heart rate, sleep and activity indicators, it gives a verdict whether the body is ready for physical activity or it needs rest. The model also monitors the "carrier" breathing (number of breaths and exhalations per minute) and evaluates blood oxygen saturation. A nice additional "bun" is the support of the Garmin Pay contactless payment service by the wearable device. Once you link a bank card to it, you can pay at the supermarket checkout directly for hours.
