Now I touch grass

I’m eating a jar of pickles with my 32 ounces of water to see if I can avoid a headache today from running outside
Every Saturday since I got this stupid watch (June, Houston) I have a headache all day bc I have to run outside for VO2Max reading. Without this watch I would never go outside between March-November. Sure, I look cool with the stylish face options and sleep band and I wake up already feeling accomplished by my sleep score. And I am really enjoying the nap feature, morning wake up alarm and tracking all my cardio and strength training in one spot. I should be hiding inside at a safe 72F but the VO2Max reading is such a temptress.
Maybe pickles will help.

Great watch but not for me

I have always been an Apple girl. I ordered the Garmin Venu3, it has so many always features but not for me. It wasn’t compatible well with the health and wellness app I use. It was delayed and didn’t add steps correctly to the app. I did decide to send it back.

Golf GPS worked much better in my Vivo Active 4S
on July 3, 2025
Posted by: mcski
There are some very nice features, including a crisper screen that I can read better without bifocals. But, the golf app, my primary use, is much worse than my Vivo Active 4S. The distances often don't update as you move away from the tee box. It may even show the entire length of the hole as you are near the green. Shot tracking is terrible. Drives appear to go all the way to the green, despite second and third shots being recorded from the correct place. When distances do show correctly, they are usually 5 yds long. Also disappointing that it's not compatible with the CT1 sensors. Swimming seems OK, but doesn't recognize breast stroke. I'm hoping software updates will improve the apps, but at this point I miss my old Vivo Active 4S.

I bought it over the Father’s Day sale. Worth every penny. My husband got the forerunner 265s we talk about our stats multiple times a day.

Pretty Good

I am happy with the features and functionality of the watch. I wish there was an easier way to handle notifications and messages. I wish I could connect straight to my iMessages. Cases are also harder to come by. Overall pretty good!

I love all the exercise features. I would never go back to an Apple Watch.
