After more than 3 years since their introduction, the Garmin Vivoactive 4 and 4S smartwatches are still popular and, thanks to the ongoing 4x% Amazon discounts, worthy of the attention of many potential buyers. Their list of highlights includes advanced health tracking capabilities, multiple sports apps and workouts, a rich set of personalization options, as well as support for the Garmin Pay contactless payment solution.
The Garmin Vivoactive 4 has a size of 45 mm and comes in only two color choices, namely black and silver (with a gray band). Both color choices receive the same generous discount of 45%, which brings the US$329.99 list price down to US$179.99. The smaller Vivoactive 4S has 40 mm in size and is available in black, light gold with light pink band, rose gold with white band, and silver with gray band. All gets the same 47% discount, so the aforementioned list price is now down to US$176.47. An in-depth article regarding the differences between the two versions can be found here.
