Body battery not physio true up compatible

As noted by people on the FR945 boards, body b is indeed not a metric that gets the physio true up treatment. As such, wearing both a MARQ Expedition and a Vivosmart 4 in the same day results in rather ridiculous data.

Come on Garmin, please get this right... Why include BB on these watches if not done properly in the back end?!

Yup, pretty disappointing. Knowing how these things have been handled in the past, this will probably be a new feature in next year's models....

I'm curious, what does the VS4 offer that the Expedition doesn't?

Small size- fits (much) better under a shirt at work. On top of that, I still get to wear my fancy Swiss timepiece when I feel like it and still track daily activity. Much more comfortable to sleep with.

The list goes on and on;)

Gotcha :) Have you slept with the Expedition? Any input on if the sleep tracking is better with the VS4? I'm pretty confident that the reason sleep tracking sucks so much is because of firstbeats poor implementation. More often than not, when sleep data has been synced with the servers they come back a lot less accurate than it was for the initial watch-app sync.

Once, I think. Not much by means of an observation to report though..It's too bulky to be comfortable :P

This is a shame, after so many $, basic/fundamentals stuff like this not working as they should

Replying to my own post to suggest it as answer/workaround. Yes, very disappointing. Same setup here. The only workaround I’ve been able to figure out is switching VS4 as preferred tracker for the night. Then for next day when wearing Marq, switch Marq as preferred tracker. This way you get 24 hr bb. But as usability go, that is absolute silliness.
