I'm seeing $180 or $188 when searching SD, unless it wasn't posted. Maybe you're thinking of the Vivoactive 3 that was near $100.

Still, feels expensive for a 3 year old model.

Screen sizes for those wondering, compared to Vivoactive 3:
Vivoactive 3 - 43mm (1.2")
Vivoactive 4 - 45mm (1.3")
Vivoactive 4s - 40mm (1.1")

I've been waiting patiently to upgrade from my Vivoactive 3 and have read countless threads lol. All 3 watches have touchscreens. I was thinking about the Fenix6.. but they're not touchscreen. Someone else mentioned the Forerunner 935 and it's not touchscreen.

So many to choose from (which is great). I'm looking at the Vivoactive 4, Forerunner 955 or Venu 2 plus. I mainly MTN bike and I really enjoy the watch notifications from my phone, so I want touchscreen.

ps - any other Garmin watches that BuyDig will have? I saw the Fenix thread but no others except instinct.

If you want more touchy and more notifications type, you might want to give the Samsung watch a try as well as they have more richer notifications.

Beyond that you cannot go wrong with any of the ones you mentioned.

Also consider the venu sq 2 if it gets discounted. And as someone else mentioned Galaxy watch 4.or 5.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy the galaxy watch 4. The battery sucks on it.

Yeah I appreciate the suggestions about galaxy watches but I'm definitely getting another Garmin. I have the speed / cadence sensors (don't need them but got both for $10) and they'll go good with a garmin and plus, I do like my V3 just want newer. I've researched the heck out of them & will end up with Venu 2 or Plus.

Vivoaeries 4s (this deal) doesn't have sleep tracking. Venu 2 does, as well as a higher resolution screen. For days of battery life I want sleep tracking, looking for a deal on venu 2

I'm looking for a smartwatch that broadcasts your HR via bluetooth so I can connect it to my iFit equipment. Do either of these do this? I'm finding it difficult to look at specs on watches (not wanting Apple) and to be able to find this feature listed.

I have the Vivoactive 3 music and a Fenix 5x. I wear the vivo now only to swim because it's a lot lighter. I really started to dislike the touchscreen for running. Especially recording laps on the track but even simple controls. Just more reliable with buttons

I've had the V3, V4, and now Venu 2. Outside of the quick screen timeout of OLED, which is necessary, you'll love the Venu 2.
