Verified ReviewerThey can (but wont) replace the battery
- - The product is great and I love it.
- - Garmin won't replace the Vivoactive 4 battery.
- - They offered a refurbished Vivoactive 4 instead.
The product itself is great. I love it.
But when the battery started acting up, I foolishly started to think that I would just have to bring it into a service center and be on my way.
That is not the case at all, as Garmin will not replace the battery at all for the Vivoactive 4, which they happily sold me just a year ago. They offered to sell me a refurbished Vivoactive 4, which shows that they can change the battery; they just won't in order to attempt to force you to buy another product entirely.
- Good watch
- It works
- Company policy of planned obsolescence
Preferred solution: change to company policy regarding repairs
User's recommendation: Don't buy a Garmin watch or product

Verified ReviewerTotally pissed off and destroying my Garman
- - I updated maps for Chapala to Laredo trip.
- - It sent me on wrong roads and around three cities.
- - I'll replace it with TomTom, not Garmin.
I have a Newvi that I have used for years, and for a trip from Chapala, MX to Laredo, TX, I downloaded the latest maps, etc., as I always do. The device then sent me on the wrong roads, tours of the seeder parts of three cities, could not find the main airport in Guadalajara, could not find its way home, and, in general, was worse than useless, and I turned it off for most of the trip. As a result, I will dispose of it and buy a new one from someone like TomTom, but never again from Garmin.
User's recommendation: Don't buy Garman

User's recommendation: Make it easier to contact Customer Service
Great for younger people but
Very good
I have several garmin items but learning is/was a little harder with the watch and connect. Plus getting connections to my iPhone.
All choices and changes make it hard for me to keep up.
Changes to get the watch to be the actual Fenix 8 watch not the were different watch system in my fenix 8. And it needed to be deleted and reset from What was in it to the Fenix 8
Once that was fixed it was easier, but the over all the getting the watch put together was/is harder for me.
I can work on computers but getting connected and setting up the watch
The person I talked with was very knowledgeable. Just a little fast for me.
Your connection was not good that day. He was very through and I'm somewhat slow with computers/ new equipment/technology.
He gets an A.

Verified ReviewerResolved: Broken strap on my forerunner 45 watch
Happy to conclude that Garmin is replacing my forerunner watch at no cost.
Would like to know if my Garmin watch can be fixed or replaced on my on my watch so that it is useable. Watch unit ID number is 344-352-****, bought at Best Buy in Courtney BC, September 23, 2023. Not sure if this is a manufacturer issue, unfortunately, I did not buy the extended warranty, as I didn't think something like this would happen.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone can email me back as soon as possible.
Thank you
Theresa Politylo
Preferred solution: Would like to get my strap on my watch fixed or have the watch replaced. Unfortunately, I did not buy the extended warranty and when it broke, it was just after the one year date.
User's recommendation: Still reading to hear back from Garmin. Very frustrating that I can’t email or call them directly..
Frustration greatly reduced !
Ive had my venu 3 S. watch for more than six months and was very frustrated because I couldnt figure out how to work it.
Took me a while to figure out how to reach someone to talk me through using my venu 3S. Now I feel more comfortable with it.
Can’t find my watch and asking me for pairing code… in my bedroom somewhere
I found it in my pocket.
It would be nice if you could remotely ping a lost item.
I appreciate the ability to talk to a person that is knowledgeable.
I refuse talking to a computer- for now.
Thanks

Issue with live scope
I think he fixed my problem, thanks
I am not upset . I have an issue with my live scope that I cant figure out .
It will pause or freeze for seconds, long enough to lose track of fish . I am not sure if it is overheating or what . It does it more in the heat than any other time . The bad box is mounted under front deck , pretty much sealed, but not quite completely.
No air movement there . I enjoy fishing we it for crappie .
I have stock in garmin and love the products . Help
