What I love about my Vivofit 4
I bought the Vivofit 4 as a replacement for my Vivofit 2 (after nearly 7 happy years, the button began to act oddly, we've put it aside as a spare before it completely fails).
I'm trying to increase my daily activity levels in a sustainable way, but I'm in no sense an athlete. But what I really like about Vivofit 4 is -
* I was able to continue with the same Connect app, and kept all my historical data automatically (after re-sync a couple times).
* I wear it 24/7 as my watch (like my V2) and the display is clear and easy to read at a glance.
* I don't have to remember to remove it, or put it back on. Waterproof in sink, bath and shower (and probably swimming pool).
* I don't have to remember to charge it. The V2 battery lasted 2 years rather than the claimed 1yr, so this will probably do the same.
* I like the choice of displays, easily visible, and having chosen will probably stick with the one I like.
* New function of tracking "impact activity minutes per week" is fun, though I probably don't make use of the data much. It probably helps motivate you to get moving, if you don't normally move much.
* My custom setup of stride length seems to be accurate, it measures over a couple miles with the same result as my Runkeeper GPS tracker (within 0.04).
* Better connectivity with the My Fitness Pal app than my V2 had.
* Replacement wrist bands readily available online, if it breaks or I want a change of colour.
The only minor drawback, to me, is I would have liked it to be able to pair with the HR strap. To be fair, I hardly ever actually used that facility, and I can always recommission my Vivofit 2 if I felt I wanted the HR aspect for a particular period or activity.
