FAQs

How long does the battery last on the Garmin Vívoactive 4?

The battery provides up to 8 days in smartwatch mode and up to 6 hours when using GPS with music. Battery life varies based on usage patterns, with features like GPS tracking, music playback and always-on display consuming more power. The watch charges via the included USB cable and typically reaches full charge in about 2 hours.

Can I swim with this watch?

Yes, the watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres) making it suitable for swimming, showering and water sports. It includes dedicated swimming modes that track pool and open water swimming with metrics like stroke count, distance and pace. The watch automatically detects different swimming strokes and provides detailed analysis after your swim.

Does the Pulse Ox sensor work continuously?

The Pulse Ox sensor can operate in spot-check mode for on-demand readings or all-day mode for continuous monitoring. Continuous monitoring will reduce battery life significantly. The sensor uses red and infrared light to measure blood oxygen saturation levels, though readings may be affected by movement, skin perfusion and ambient light conditions.

What music services are supported?

The watch supports Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music for playlist downloads (premium subscriptions required). You can also transfer music files from your computer via Garmin Express software. The watch stores up to 500 songs and connects to Bluetooth headphones for phone-free listening during workouts.

How accurate is the heart rate monitoring?

The optical heart rate sensor provides reasonably accurate readings for most activities, though accuracy can vary based on skin tone, tattoos, fit and movement. For maximum accuracy during intense workouts, consider pairing with a chest strap heart rate monitor. The watch uses Garmin's Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology with multiple LEDs and photodiodes.

Can I receive notifications from my phone?

Yes, when paired with a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth, you can receive smart notifications for calls, texts, emails and app alerts. You can read messages and see caller information but cannot respond to texts or answer calls directly from the watch. Notification settings are customisable through the Garmin Connect app.

What's included in the box?

The package includes the vívoactive 4 watch, a charging and data cable and documentation. The watch comes pre-installed with a grey silicone band. Additional bands in different colours and materials are available separately. No wall charger is included - you'll need to use a USB port or existing USB wall adapter.

How do I track different sports activities?

Press the start button and scroll through the preloaded activity profiles to select your sport. The watch includes profiles for running, cycling, swimming, golf, yoga, strength training, hiking and many others. Each profile tracks relevant metrics for that activity and can be customised to show your preferred data fields during workouts.
