The Vivofit 4 is in a difficult market to compete in with stiff competition from the likes of Huawei, Moov and many more firms. But it's a generally good device and while it is missing some features we'd like to see on your wrist, if you're looking for a basic tracker it's likely this will make you...

Incredible battery life; A color screen; Low price

No GPS or heart rate; Lacks phone notifications; Sometimes difficult interface

It's comfortable to wear as it's adjustable. I like that I can wear it to aqua fit and it keeps track of my movements. I mainly got it to track my sleep and it seems fairly accurate. The app on my iPad is much easier to use than scrolling through the watch face though.

I love fitness trackers – I hate charging them every day. Garmin's new Vivofit 4 has 2 x SR43 coin batteries that in theory will last over a year. Alas, testing cannot confirm that. Ray Shaw [email protected] has a passion for IT ever since building his first computer in 1980.

Wearing my Garmin vivofit 4 is a great motivator for me to get moving and helps me with living a healthy lifestyle

Garmin is one of our favorites when it comes to fitness trackers. They tend to put out quality products, including their vívofit activity trackers, which seem to be their answer to the Fitbit Alta or Misfit Shine.

Simple; durable; easy to use; Improved display; Affordable price point; 1-year battery life; Waterproof

Does not pair with ANT+ HRMs; Data tracking is not perfectly accurate; No wrist HRM; No smart notifications

I am really pleased with the Garmin fitness watch and it looks good on my wrist. Also it is good to see the time and how many steps you have done at the same time.

I brought this just over a month ago. Colored feature is difficult to see at times. The wifi connection drops out frequently with Samsung phone. Difficult to retrieve information. Not accurate with steps and info. Would have rated higher otherwise.

I bought this product a couple of months ago for my husband, who is recovering from cancer treatment. Fitness has played a big part in this journey. The only negative he finds is no back light on display,but other than that really likes his fitness device.
