Welcome back. I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
Today I am going to go over Garmin’s newest additions to the vivo line, the vivoactive 4 and vivoactive 4S.
Now, these watches are designed for the person that has an active lifestyle and does a bit of everything.
From all-day health monitoring, to animated gym workouts and outdoor activities, this watch does it all.
If you want a smartwatch that can keep up with your active lifestyle and has a battery life to handle it all week long, this watch is for you.
Lets begin by talking about the difference between the two models.
The vivoactive 4 has a 45mm watch case.
It is offered in either a shadow grey with stainless accents, or a black with slate grey accents.
The vivoactive 4S has a 40mm watch case.
It’s offered in a variety of colors including dust rose with white champagne accents, white with rose gold accents,
powder gray with stainless accents, and black with slate grey accents.
As you can see, not only can this watch keep up with your active lifestyle, it also comes in options to match your style.
Now that we’ve got the differences out of the way, lets discuss what these watches do best.
The vivoactive 4 series has all of the same features as the vivoactive 3 Music that you have come to know and love, and more.
The Vivoactive 4 series will give you access to GPS and 5 ATM water rating so you can swim and shower with these watches.
You can wear them all of the time.
Wrist-based heart rate. Smart notifications.
Garmin Coach 2.0. And a host of other things like steps, sleep, advanced workouts, customisable screens, etc.
If you want the full list, as always we encourage you to check out garmin.com
Now, two things that are super important for you to understand in what makes this watch the perfect fit for active customers
is an always on, sunlight-readable display and an incredible battery life.
Specifically, You’ll get up to 7 days in smart watch mode and up to 5 hours in GPS mode while listening to music.
Yes, I said music.
With the vivoactive 4 or 4s, you can load MP3’s, audiobooks and podcasts
directly onto the watch through Garmin Connect or you can load music through a supported music streaming service.
We have a wide array of options available including Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music.
But, I t gets even better!
The vivoactive 4 gives you access to Garmin coach 2.0. Garmin Coach gives you access to top rated coaches,
that will provide you a training plan sent directly to your watch from the Garmin Connect app.
The training plan is adaptive,
if you feel the plan is moving to quickly or to slowly, it will adjust to you and accommodate your changes.
Helping you reach your 5k, 10k or even a half marathon goals!
Are you ever worried about what you would do if something happened during a workout?
Or have you ever wanted your significant other to meet you at a highlight point in your Race?
Don’t worry we have you covered with these cool features we brought over from the vivoactive 3.
What are these features you may ask?
Assistance, LiveTrack and incident detection.
Now, these features are dependent on you having your phone connected to your watch during the workout.
I understand not everyone works out with their phone, but hear us out.
Safety and tracking features makes it easy to share your real time location with chosen contacts in case you need assistance
and the variety of connected features keeps you in touch with friends or family.
LiveTrack sends your location to friends or loved ones during an outdoor activity.
You can have this automatically sent out when you being a workout or you can send it manually.
For incident detection, the watch detect if there is a fall or incident that occurs.
If you have an incident, the watch can send an message with your real-time location to a predetermined contact.
So, lets talk about all the health data that this watch can help you with,
such as stress tracking, body battery, Pulse Ox, and hydration tracking, to name a few.
First, vivoactive 4 will track stress.
We all have it, but it has a negative impact on your body and the ability for you to perform at your peak.
With stress tracking, you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.
Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity.
Stress tracking is helpful in understanding how you’re feeling overall as well as how stress can relate to training.
Next, the vivoactive 4 also tracks your body battery.
Body battery is an energy monitor.
It uses collected data to gauge your energy reserves at any moment during the day,
helping to determine your optimal times for an activity and rest.
I also mentioned that it has Pulse Ox.
What is Pulse Ox, you ask?
The vivoactive 4’s Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist
to gauge your blood oxygen saturation during the day and while you sleep.
This shows how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Lastly, staying hydrated is important for your overall health and well-being.
Hydration tracking allows you to log your daily water intake
to help you stay hydrated and see how consistent you are from day to day.
Keep an eye out for some future videos where we will spend time going in depth
on some of these unique features that cross over several Garmin watches.
Do you enjoy a personalised experience?
With the vivoactive 4 series, you can personalize your watch by downloading free watch faces,
apps, and widgets from our Connect IQ Store.
There are thousands to choose from. You can even use your own photos to create your own watch face!
We listened to our customers that were nervous or unsure about new activites in the gym,
so we created animated workouts at your wrist.
No more hunting down videos or trainers for workout demonstrations.
This watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view on the watch screen.
Choose from preloaded animated workouts, or download more from Garmin Connect online community.
And did we mention they are free! That’s right, no hidden fees or unforeseen costs.
Now I want to remind you, the vivoactive 4 series is super user-friendly,
and is a great watch for people that do a little bit of everything,
someone who has an active lifestyle and likes to train and track their progress.
From walker, to golfer, to fitness enthusiast, tune in to your body and tone up with the vivoactive 4.
