Moreover, the Garmin vivofit 4 also tracks your intensity minutes as well as the calories you have burned. Besides, it also comes with a colored move bar that fills up when you haven’t walked for a while.
That said, what’s interesting to see is that the Garmin vivofit 4 comes with battery which the company says can offer more than a year of battery backup. Furthermore, Garmin says that the vivofit 4 is swim and shower safe which means you don’t have to bother taking it off when you are doing either of these activities.

Through the Garmin Connect app, users can customize their vivofit 4 with themes, watch faces as well as personalized text which can also include emergency information.

The bands of the Garmin vivofit 4 are interchangeable which means you can change them as and when you want. However, they are sold separately so you will have to shell out extra money for that.

It’s the ideal device for customers who want something reliable that they don’t need to hassle with or take off to recharge.” said Dan Bartel, Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Garmin.
