    I got mine free through my insurance on 10-15-2021. It listed as $50.00 in my ordering catalog that I can order just about any health related. Vitamins, teeth, allergy, variety of pain helpers. Ice packs, hot pack, cold pack, pain patches, knee brace, vaporizer etc!

    Vivosmart 4 not syncing on its own. I have to manually sync it everytime. Had the Vivosport before this and it did NOT sync on it's own, either. Instructions on internet are not consistent. The names of devices are used interchangeably in the how-to's and I don't know why Garmin leaves something like this to a manual solution by default. This is my 2nd and LAST Garmin watch.

    • @FitnessWithFrost
      @FitnessWithFrost  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah some of their watches and bands are manually updated. My assumption is a savings of battery, but I'm not too sure. The fixed it with the Vivosmart 5

    How does the body battery compare to Whoop’s recovery/strain score?

    • @FitnessWithFrost
      @FitnessWithFrost  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Both do a really good job, but with Whoop's algorithm it does work better with other things in your life to calculate your recovery including stress. But if you already have a Garmin I would look to also get a Whoop as well. Hopefully that is helpful

    Can I ask what is the point or reason for using the gps. Like is it so you can see where you have been. Because you should know since you were the one running it. I haven’t used the gps, and yet my app records time , distance , step, calories burned. So can anyone enlighten me as to why people use the gps.

    • @FitnessWithFrost
      @FitnessWithFrost  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I mean there are a couple reason. Primarily it is used to get a good idea of the pase you are on for your run or bike. It's good to know your pace so you know where you can push and pull back and it's great for training as well. Built in GPS is typically more accurate than tethering to your phone. Some also like to keep their phones off them and you can do that with a built in GPS. Hopefully that helped clarify a bit
