Vivoactive 4 buy now or wait for Vivoactive 5?

Hi,

I have sold my Samsung Galaxy watch 3 solely due to the battery life. I'm planning to go for a Garmin Vivoactive 4. Was planning on one of the Fenix Series but dropped it due to budget limitations.

Should I wait for the Vivoactive 5 or go with the 4 now ? Im not a pro athlete but mainly track my gym activities and sleep. Also need god battery life and a big dial as I am big :) any other options suggested ?

Thanks

Sunny

I tried to search for "dynamic" apps in the IQ store, but didn't find anything. Do you have a link to the one you use? I have no need for maps, but course/route support could be nice.

Don't buy now, I'm uwing VA4 2 years now and it's not that bad, but There is some points if it's ok with you then buy now:

1- Its behind alot of brands now in sensors and technology.

2- Higher price than competitors.

3- There is no suppport at ALL for the users requested features.

4- some sensors (specially spo2 sensor) is not accurate at all.

I know I might be harah, but I'm Garmin user since vivoactive (more than 8 years ago), and I see other brands come up everyday with better tech, cheaper price and developers listening to the users requests, only thing that makes me stick to garmin till now is garmin connect and the analysis.

Well, I guess a bit late to this conversation, but Vivoactive 4 isn't any better, the battery drains like crazy. I can't find anything that is good at the battery game. Do you have any better suggestions now?
