[@cplovebirds]

I like the vivoactive 4s more and I'm still really happy with mine. Great video as always 👍

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Nice, good to hear you're enjoying yours 😊 and thank you!

[@elizabethcook6120]

My face just popped of my 4s😢

[@anniew6210]

Great video @AbbyBReviewing I've been waiting for you to drop this one, I love how real your reviews are, and I do prefer the Vivoactive 4S :)

[@AbbyBReviewing]

I'm happy your enjoying my reviews! Thanks for sharing, I always keep it real :)

I've had my vivoactive 3 for 5 years now and it still works like a charm! However, it's definitely starting to show it's age with the battery life, I get about 2 days worth with lowest light setting. That said, I think the 4s would be a great update and big on savings (when it's on sale) Thanks for the review!

[@AstoriaHouse]

Loved the detailed review! Thank you!!

Thanks for the review. I really wish 4s had HRV but it's the better watch for me, so I'll be buying it. Appreciate the details especially both watches on your wrist (ie: I have a very small wrist so small is very important)

[@AbbyBReviewing]

No problem, and I'm glad you found this helpful! Yes, I definitely get that. And I hope you enjoy the Vivoactive 4S once you pick it up!

[@sateentuoksu]

I found a widget to show hrv even in vivoactive 3.. It might help? As vivoactive 3 & 4 - as far as i know - both have the hrv, but don't show it separately - only as part of stress measurement

[@muusikum]

Just went from 4s to 5. Really love the new UI and also the messaging options for replying to the messages with keyboard.

[@mihiri80]

Hi, thanks for a great review. For someone like me who has a very thin wrist, which one would you recommend?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@mihiri80 Hello, that would depend on your watch size preference & the features you want. I definitely prefer the Vivoactive 4S, one of the reasons being the smaller size.

[@amy0012]

I prefer the Vivoactive 4s 😊 and great video thanks for making it Abby!

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Thanks for sharing! 💜

[@crastapow]

thanks for the info..... I think the V4 (not S) works best for me

[@TennisObsessed]

If only the Vivoactive 5 was smaller like the 4S...

[@tomsamari]

Thanks for the review Abby, very insightful! Is it correct that the Vivoactive 4s is actually thicker than the Vivoactive 5, despite being "smaller" in circumference? Is this noticeable to you?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello! It is a bit thicker, but its such a small difference and is not noticeable to me when wearing them.

[@jabeshraja]

Thanks

[@85Toni]

Hello sorry if I missed this but what do you think about the weight of the two watches?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, the Vivoactive 5 is made with cheaper lighter aluminum, and thrme Vivoactive 4s is made for more high quality heavier stainless steel, so regardless of the difference in size they weight almost the same, 40g on the 4S, and 36g on the 5 at and feel the same on weight wise in my experience. I do prefer wearing the Vivoactive 4S for the slimmer band and smaller size myself.

[@85Toni]

@@AbbyBReviewinggreat thanks heaps for the quick response! Very helpful review!

[@siulublu]

Abby, I am more interested in tracking my oxygen since I had a lung transplant. Which one do you think would be better for me?

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, if you are looking to track your respiration rate, they both do that well. If you're looking to track your blood oxygen SpO2 they are both sometimes off with the measurements coming up low. I would not rely on using them for tracking your blood oxygen for medical purposes.

[@AlesSedlacekCz]

Please, what watch face do you have on Vivoactive 4s? I like it 😊

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, it is called VerticalSpace :)

[@saadnaddaf226]

Do you still stand by this today in '24? I can get the 4 for $299 and the 5 for $420. I'm just worried about buying a 5 year old 4

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hello, yes, i still 100% agree with everything i stated now in 2024 :)

[@ranjanivivekanantham7792]

It mean in vivoactive 5 it s not counting the strairs??

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hi, yes, the Vivoactive 5 cannot track stairs/floors climbed.

[@ranjanivivekanantham7792]

@@AbbyBReviewing 😔😔😔 let see if i can manage without

[@gemjule]

Wait does 4s not have HRV? I thought it did

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Hey, it does not have HRV.

[@AbbyBReviewing]

Thanks for watching! Subscribe ❤. And which watch do you think is better? Comment below I love hearing from you guys :)

[@Hannahmann1]

I like the Vivoactive 5 more Love your videos

[@AbbyBReviewing]

@Hannahmann1 Nice 😊 and thanks for sharing!

[@sateentuoksu]

I think i'll get 4s, as the on sreen workouts are not in 5, and also the gyroscope missing, but hrv & pulsoximeter still in both (if i understood right?)
