Items Description

The Garmin 010-N2172-11 Vivoactive 4S GPS Smartwatch, Slate Stainless Steel Bezel with Black Case and Silicone Band (Renewed) is a compact wearable designed for fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals who want a smaller watch without sacrificing feature depth.

Key Advantages of the Garmin 010-N2172-11 Vivoactive 4S GPS Smartwatch, Slate Stainless Steel Bezel with Black Case and Silicone Band (Renewed)

 

1. All-Day Health Monitoring with Wrist-Based Sensors

The vivoactive 4S continuously tracks physiological metrics through its optical sensor array, giving users a longitudinal view of their wellness without needing a chest strap or additional peripherals. Data collected on the wrist is processed locally and synced to the Garmin Connect ecosystem for deeper trend analysis.

 

• Heart Rate: 24/7 wrist-based monitoring with alerts for abnormal resting or elevated rates.
• Pulse Ox: Blood oxygen saturation tracking for sleep and altitude acclimatisation insights.
• Body Battery: Energy reserve estimation based on heart rate variability, stress, and activity.
• Sleep Scoring: Automatic sleep stage tracking with a nightly score and breakdown of light, deep, and REM phases.
• Menstrual Cycle Tracking: Logging and prediction tools for cycle phases and symptoms.

 

2. Built-In GPS and Workout Modes for Outdoor Training

For runners, cyclists, and walkers who prefer leaving their phone behind, the integrated GPS receiver captures pace, distance, and route data directly on the wrist. The watch includes preloaded activity profiles for over 20 sports, from walking and running to yoga and strength training, with metrics tailored to each discipline.

 

• GPS/GLONASS/Galileo: Multi-satellite support for improved location accuracy in varied environments.
• Track-Back Navigation: Follow the outbound route back to the starting point using recorded breadcrumbs.
• Animated Workouts: On-screen demonstrations guide users through cardio, yoga, and strength exercises.
• VO2 Max: Estimated fitness level derived from pace and heart rate data during runs.
• Recovery Advisor: Post-workout time recommendations before the next hard session.

 

3. Music Playback and Smart Connectivity Without the Phone

The slate stainless steel model supports offline music storage, enabling users to load up to 500 songs and pair Bluetooth headphones for phone-free listening during workouts. Smart notifications for calls, texts, calendar alerts, and app messages arrive on the wrist when paired with a compatible smartphone, keeping interruptions minimal during the day.

 

• Music Storage: Approximately 500 song capacity with support for multiple music services.
• Garmin Pay: Contactless payment support for quick purchases at NFC-enabled terminals.
• Smart Notifications: Email, text, and app alerts with the option to reject or reply to calls on compatible devices.
• Connectivity: Bluetooth and ANT+ for pairing sensors such as heart rate straps, foot pods, and cadence meters.

 

4. Everyday Durability with a Refined Wrist Presence

The 40mm case is finished with a Slate stainless steel bezel that resists scratches from daily bumps, while the black silicone band offers flexibility and sweat resistance during extended wear. With a 5 ATM water rating, the watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and rain exposure. The lightweight build keeps it unobtrusive on the wrist, making it a practical choice for those who prefer a smaller watch face that sits close to the arm.

 

• Water Rating: 5 ATM, suitable for surface swimming and incidental water exposure.
• Bezel Material: Stainless steel in a Slate tone for a subtle metallic contrast.
• Band Design: Quick-release 20mm silicone strap with a secure buckle closure.
• Display: Full-colour 1.1-inch digital screen with high outdoor visibility.

 

5. Battery Life That Keeps Up With Daily Routine

Garmin rates the vivoactive 4S battery at up to 7 days in smartwatch mode with typical use, reducing the frequency of charging interruptions. In GPS with music mode, the battery supports up to 5 hours of continuous tracking, covering most half-marathon efforts or extended hikes. A full charge takes roughly one hour, leveraging the included charging cable.

 

• Smartwatch Mode: Up to 7 days with heart rate and smart notifications enabled.
• GPS + Music: Up to 5 hours with continuous location and audio playback.
• GPS Only: Extended runtime for activity tracking without music.
• Charging: Approximate 1-hour full charge via proprietary cradle cable.

 

The Garmin vivoactive 4S is best suited for runners, swimmers, and daily fitness trackers who want a complete health and workout suite in a compact 40mm package. For those who prioritise long battery life, reliable GPS, and wrist-based wellness data over larger screens and heavy cases, this smartwatch offers a balanced set of capabilities without the bulk of bigger alternatives.
