Pros
- Parent context: Ah sorry no, it's Vivoactive. I listed it correctly, just posted wrong here Reply: Vivoactive 4 (used) is selling for at least $100. Just list it on eBay and it should sell.
- honestly, the Vivoactive was perfect before the battery problems. i really just wanted my breathing, pulse ox, and heart rate, and i liked the stress and body battery thing.
- My wife had a Vivoactive that did all the things you want, but she had to charge it every 4-5 days.
- I am happy with my Vivoactive but one thing is that you can not get floor climbed metrics and can't join some expeditions due to that.
- Vivoactive would be great for your needs!
Cons
- I hated my Vivoactive watch and I was so happy with MIP.
- Personally, I really appreciate the altimeter. I especially find the staircase widget interesting - the Vivoactive cannot provide that.
- Forerunner series is much better for sports than Vivoactive and Venu. They lack LTHR zones, detection, even max HR detection seems to be missing.
- I’ve had multiple garmin models since 2008, including forerunners and a Vivoactive, but now on my second Fenix.
- Skip Vivoactive, or anything that's touchscreen-only - for sweaty workouts, buttons win every time!

the Vivoactive or the Venu3 are the better choices if you are going with Garmin.
