FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the Vívoactive 4S and the standard Vívoactive 4?
A: The Vívoactive 4S features a smaller 40mm case diameter compared to the 45mm case of the standard Vívoactive 4, making it ideal for smaller wrists and those who prefer a more compact smartwatch profile. Both models share the same comprehensive suite of health and fitness features, but the 4S has a slightly shorter battery life due to its smaller case size.
Q: Can I swim with the Garmin Vívoactive 4S?
A: Yes, the Vívoactive 4S is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), making it suitable for swimming and pool-based activities. The watch includes preloaded swim workouts and automatically tracks your pool swimming metrics including stroke count, distance, and pace.
Q: How do I store music on the Vívoactive 4S?
A: The Vívoactive 4S can store up to 500 songs directly on the device. You can download music from compatible streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music (subscriptions required), or transfer your own music files via Garmin Express on your computer. This allows you to listen to music through Bluetooth headphones without needing your smartphone during workouts.
Q: What is Body Battery energy monitoring?
A: Body Battery is Garmin's proprietary feature that analyses your heart rate variability, stress levels, sleep quality, and activity data to estimate your body's energy reserves throughout the day. It provides a score from 0 to 100, helping you identify the best times for activity and rest, optimising your training and recovery schedule.
Q: Can I change the strap on the Vívoactive 4S?
A: Yes, the Vívoactive 4S uses Garmin's QuickFit 18mm bands, which allow you to swap straps without any tools in seconds. A wide variety of replacement bands are available, including leather, metal, and additional silicone options in various colours, allowing you to customise the watch to suit different occasions and personal style preferences.
Q: Does the Vívoactive 4S track menstrual cycles?
A: Yes, the Vívoactive 4S includes menstrual cycle tracking through the Garmin Connect app. You can log symptoms, view cycle predictions, and receive educational content about each phase of your cycle. The watch also integrates this data with your training and nutrition tracking for a more comprehensive view of your health.

Care Guide
- Daily Cleaning: Rinse the watch and strap with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, or perspiration, as these substances can damage the seals and case finish over time.
- Strap Maintenance: Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before wearing. Remove the watch periodically to allow your wrist and the strap to dry completely, preventing skin irritation.
- Display Care: While the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lens is scratch-resistant, avoid impact with hard surfaces and sharp objects. Clean the touchscreen with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to maintain optimal clarity and responsiveness.
- Charging Contacts: Keep the charging contacts on the back of the watch clean and dry. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth if you notice any residue or moisture buildup, as this ensures reliable charging performance.
- Software Updates: Regularly update your Vívoactive 4S firmware through the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express to ensure optimal performance, access to new features, and security improvements.
- Battery Care: To maximise battery lifespan, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below -20°C or above 60°C). Charge the device before the battery is completely depleted, and store it with approximately 50% charge if not using for extended periods.
- Heart Rate Sensor: Keep the optical heart rate sensor on the back of the watch clean for accurate readings. Wipe it gently with a damp cloth, and ensure the watch fits snugly but comfortably on your wrist during activities.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Vívoactive 4S in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in humid environments or near magnetic fields that could affect its electronic components.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: While the watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM, avoid pressing buttons underwater and ensure the charging port is completely dry before charging. Have the water resistance tested periodically if you use the watch frequently for swimming.
