This has been raised many time before but I cannot see any satisfactory solution.
I had a Vivoactive 4s which failed in February 2023. Thought it was just bad luck and I bought a replacement. This watch lasted until December 2023. The same symptom both times -screen went black when there should have been enough charge, tried charging and watch became very hot, dead as a doornail!
Garmin support were great and I received a credit for a replacement.
I sent up all my features.I use the golf app, walk, and swim. This watch lasted 3 days! I had done walks over 2 days, and a 300m swim. Garmin have again given me a credit.
I really like the watch . It does everything I need and is simple to use but don't want to go through this process again.
Does Garmin recognise that there may be an issue?
Is there a fundamental problem with this watch?
Is it truly waterproof?
Can anyone recommend a good alternative?
I would like to see it investigated properly.
Thanks, Peter
