Hi Man. Thanks a lot for sharing with ur list. U seem to be a very practical person. We have now a rainy season and now i can plan my walks more precise!!Also bar code widget is really dope!!!I have all my cards on a wrist now. Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment and have a great day
Nice video! Also i really like your dog! I haven‘t seen such a beautiful and healthy german shepherd as where i live (austria) most of them are overbred. I‘m actually happy seeing yours being healthy and cute 💜
I have three dogs. They‘re the best companions.
This was an extremely helpful video. Definitely using all of these. Thank you.
Instant like for the amazing video and owning a German Shepherd!
Thank you !!
Hey man thanks for the MinuteCast recommendation. I really hated how Dark Sky left us out in the cold and I wanted to find a replacement for it for the longest time. Like it doesn't make much sense for me to use it in California but still I like the rain predictions. As for apps that I use, I am trying to get into the habit of time tracking and just starting off with a basic pomodoro timer. I find it somewhat useful but it'd really be better as a widget rather than an app.
Great content! Thanks!
Amazing video. Thanks so much. What’s the name of the watch face that u had on in the beginning of the video?
Please Review navigation apps and map apps for the lower end watches such as the 245 and 255
Great video!
Could you please help me what are the steps to start to work the map app on my watch? I downloaded the app already, just can't use it 🤪
I've a venu watch.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Great info, your videos helped me decide to get a Garmin Vivoactive 4, and its been great for tracking my running. Throwing a subscribe your way!
Hi, Thanks for the great video!
I was wondering if you know if it's possible to transfer apk app i have on my android to my Garmin Vivoactive 4s? (Obviously i can't find it in the IQ store) it worked great with my Fossil watch and i can't figure this out. Thanks!!
Hi do you know if the forerunner music has a good relaxing breathing sessions like the vivosmart 4?
Well. I'm back and really hoping to see if you can help me set up the home automation app. Not great with coding. Thanks in advance
Great tips!
For reply to text messages function in Garmin watches, is this applicable to Whatsapp and Telegram as well?
Nice video brother. I am currently using forerunner 245, i want to use accuweather and map nav, but accuwether unable to get data fordm location and map nav keeps asking me to stary nav at maps. How to troubleshoot these problems
Hey i wanna ask, i use venu sq
Can i changer di theme of menu? Or something to make it more look great?
Hi I wanted to ask about the maps nav app does it work for ios or only android cause I’m having a bit of trouble connecting thank you in advance
This makes me so so so excited for my vivoactive 4
Yaaas!
:( Minute Weather is not available in my country... Well hope at least you have a good use of it! :") Do you maybe know a simmilar app?
Does the Maps Nav work for iPhone users? I don’t even see it in the garmin IQ app search?
There are more good apps for Garmin but still missing good titles like for wear os watches. I use on my Vivoactive 3 Camera Opus app to control fully my cam in phone. It detects movement too. The app is promoted by Garmin. You should update your apps review. Good videos, added sub.
Can you make a Clockify tutorial on how you set it up?
I still haven't been able to get any app (nor the app you recommended) to show me Google maps directions. It doesn't send me a notification on the watch when I have started navigating on my phone
Can we use Garmin Fenix 6 pro as phone camera trigger?
Great video.. Maps nav is laggy on my vivoactive 3..connected to huawei p30..
Just set up the barcodes but haven't tried it yet..
Must do the Microsoft grocery list soon
How do you install a barcode card? Thanks
Great video, basically I have the same watches at home as you do. Vivosmart 4, fr245m and va4s, I have mainly used 245m and I got used to pause button during activity. I can't find this button with Va4, if I press up button stops my activity with no ability to contiune... any help
On the Va4 just use the upper botton to stop/pause and again to continue. If you want to pause for a longer time, for example to eat something, i would lock the screen. For that just hold the upper button a few seconds after you pause the activity and then click on the lock symbol. Otherwise you might save or delete it by mistake.
If you are a fallout fan than the pip-boy-ish watch face is a must have.
Fantastic video - so useful! The Microsoft ToDo list integration is a killer app but I stumbled on your video looking for Google Maps integration - why is this not native?! Thank you.
So glad to hear you
Definitely getting MinuteCast
Awesome!
Fenix 6 has good notifications? That's news to me. I only get on it the last message of anything sent. Phone is samsung note 10 plus
Hello! Thanks very much for your very informative video - One question please --> Are there any downloadable map apps that allow you to view the actual map navigation on your watch screen, with Garmin Forerunner 645? (like how you showed on 3:40 , but with the map showing on the watch screen instead of phone screen? Thanks a million @JSyntax ! :) :)
I believe there are! But unfortunately I don't use any of them. I rely on the map navigation app I mentioned. Some Garmin watches come bundled with maps
@@JSyntax Great! I'm currently trying to choose between the Garmin forerunner and the Huawei GT 2, and am trying to weigh-up all the pros & cons..! --> Decisions, decisions! :D
Thanks for your very quick response, and again, for your very informative video.
Best wishes from Ireland!! :)
So none of these are available in Australia?
👌 i download the MineCast
Thanks for your Video!
The Maps nav Sounds very interesting. Does this App also work with the Navigation by komoot?
i dont think so!
btw OsmAnd shows usable notifications even on vivosport.
Nice! :) I'm going to downloa.... Oh right, Garmin's "outage" says nope :\
Great tips ! thank you !
just bought one second hand for 20$
Nice work! 20 bux?
Yes -
😁@@JSyntax
But i see here only 6MB free memor y- ..shouldnt they have 4 GB ? something is wrong here @@JSyntax
I have vivoactive 4 can you tell me if it says recovery time after each workout?
load and recovery are not features in the Venu or Vivoactive 4 as they are considered "lifestyle" which is unfortunate because they are the best looking IMO. Let me know if you found an app to replace this feature as I just ordered one to replace the 6s pro Garmin overkill watch.
How about battery life ?
Barcoded widget sounded great, but appears to be only US-based; couldn't add my UK loyalty cards as they didn't match supported formats
I get errors on my shoppers card, checksum error, have you seen that? Can you give better tips on using that app?
Good video. What barcode reader do you use on android
Watch 1:17
I like the look of If This Then That.. what language do you use on it, json?
No code required!
@@JSyntax Well, I know what I'm playing with this weekend then..
I'm having trouble syncing the maps Nav app to my phone through vivoactive 4s.
I launch the app on ym watch and nothing happens when I open maps on my phone.. It doesn't detect anything..?
Did you get the NAV app working?
@@Coineno sold that shitty watch and got a huawei watch fit
Hi there! Thank you so much for the reviews, very insightful. Was wondering, did you find a way to stop notifications from whatsapp groups? there is no way I can do that and it drives me crazy ;(
Hey Bianca, I don't use whatapps but you might be able to do it on Android notification settings, or you can block entirely on the watch!
How does minutecast affect battery life? (I have the same watchface :)
Which watchface is this on the video?
1. barcodes - save wallet space
2. Home Automation launch any task.
3. hands free navigation. 4. To do list, notes, tasks
5. Hyper localized rain forecast. 🇳🇱
Hi. Thanks for this video. I just got my Venu yesterday and this helped me a lot. Just a question. I downloaded the Maps Nav and I cannot seem to make it work. When i open the app on my watch it says launch A navigation on Maps. And after I do thatbon my Note 10 plus, nothing happens on the watch... Would you know how I can fix this? Been looking for more tutorials and no luck... TIA!
Update, i was able to make it work. Realized I had to install another app called Nav Garmin.thanks!
Yes indeed! Enjoy
Hi. I know it has been about 2.5 years since your review of the apps for Garmin. I am sorry to let you know that "AccuWeather MinuteCast" app is not as good as you say. Main problem that many users report nowadays is location/positioning issue often being quite far away (by 20-100 km) which makes "minute forecast" useless. In fact, it is now so bad that it gets about 2.4 score out of 5 (over 1000 feedbacks), which is quite "rubbish" actually.
Thanks for sharing. Sad to hear.
Hi! 👋🏻
Are there any simple and good 🔢CALCULATOR🔢 apps for GARMIN SMARTWATCHES ⌚ like INSTINCT 2 or FORERUNNER 955 available? 🤔❓
I was wondering for the Maps Navigation app with turn-by-turn directions, do you need to bring your smartphone with you? Or can you leave your phone at home and rely completely on the watch? And I assume you can set your own destination right?
Thanks in advance!
You'll need your phone for it to work
@@JSyntax Ohhh noooo! I don't have a smartphone 😔. Oh well.
Thanks for responding, really helped me out.
Hi, could you please help me what are the steps to start to work this app on my watch? I downloaded the app already, just can't use it 🤪
I've a venu watch.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
@@hajnalkakovacs8620 you'll need to start google maps direction and then open the app on the watch
@@JSyntax😁 Thank you!
I do a HIIT workout on a treadmill.
It consists of a warmup, the workout, and the cool down.
The workout has 8 segments of 2 minutes each with 30 seconds running at 7.6 mph with 90 seconds of walking at 2.5 mph.
Is there a fitness tracking watch that can contend with that?
I'd like to add jumping rope to this routine with 8 segments of 30 seconds of speed jump roping and 90 seconds of rest. Can any fitness tracking watch deal with that?
I just picked up a fenix 6 pro on sale and you can program absolutely any type of workout you can imagine on it. Takes a bit to figure it out, but you can definitely do what you want to do
@@Thebearsalad Thanks! And I assume is does heart rate variability.
Hello, your minimalistic watch face is pretty cool. What's the name of it ?
sky tracker anti aliasing
What's a good accurate fitness watch that's really cheap, Under 100$ preferably. The main function I need is heart rate monitor for cardio sessions.
Probably want to check out my review of the vivosmart 4
VivoActive 3 is real cheap right now ($130). I bought a VivoActive 4 for $280 to upgrade, but took it back because my VA3 was nearly as good for my use and VA4 was not worth $280 to upgrade. If I was purchasing from scratch, I probably pop the extra $150 for the VA4, but the VA3 for $130 is a great deal.
What are you using for Garmin Pay? I am in Ontario..
Brim financial! I made a video about it!
wanted to see maps demo
I liked the sound of Minute Weather so I checked the reviews. Unfortunately it does not have data for the UK and possibly the whole of Europe
Sorry! It may ask the developer for support
woah that watch really saved your life, that rain would have finished you off lol
Lol
I downloaded the nav app and started it. I also started maps on my phone. I can’t get it to work. Any suggestions. Where do I find the forecast app after I download it?
Did you get the NAV app working?
@@Coineno I gave up on it.
Torono?
nice vid
Thank you 👍
Maps Nav only works on an Android. I think this qualification should be made in the video. (A serious gripe) "5 Must have apps with an Android phone"
What’s your watch face called ?
I'm just using the default on that comes with Garmin
Garmin Pay does not work in Canada, does it? I don't believe any of the five big banks recognize it.
It does work. Using brim Financial
It is useless in the UK as well.
Just wondering sir, whats your nationality?
Sounds 100% Canadian
Toronto is in Ontario, Canada
Considering how expensive Garmin is in general, these “top apps” are a bit underwhelming.
Garmin watches major in the fitness tracking and battery life. They have the best GPS trackers of any smart watch manufacturer and the longest battery life of any smart watch manufacturer, particularly at the top end. If you want a fitness tracker go Garmin. If you want a smart watch for apps and are less bothered about how accurate the GPS is or that you might not be able to use GPS for a long bike ride without the battery dying then other products are available. I gather the apple watches are very good and the latest Samsung ones are ok. My Samsung watch active was useless at GPS and the battery would die if I ran much more than 15km. I'm going Garmin from now on.
Garmin watches are fitness trackers/gps devices first, not smart watches. Buy an apple watch if you want to play space invaders on your wrist.
What watch is in this video?
it looks the vivoactive 4
@@guitarkatie thanks :)
@@pipsta no problem
I couldnt find any minute cast in connect iq
maybe it;s blocked by country jurisdiction
What about the tactix delta?
It likely works with many other brands that I did not cover
Really struggling with this watch. It is basically eating my wrists
alive. I clean it with isopropyl alcohol and water twice a day and
alternate wrists every week and it still leaves rash after rash. Crazy. I
wore a Timex Ironman for 20 years straight -- NEVER took it off, day
or night, and was nothing like this stupid Garmin Vivoactive 4. Garmin has
a real issue on their hands ... or on our rotting away from the Garmin
watch wrists i should say.
Perhaps try changing the band to a fabric one Grace
Did I see nookie in his watchlist???
Lol what
"MinuteCast is available in the following countries
North America: contiguous US, Canada
Europe: UK, Spain, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Denmark), parts of the Czech Republic, Gibraltar, and Liechtenstein
Asia: Japan and Korea"
:(
Cool and all... but - why go to the trouble of doing all this on the watch? Your phone is in your pocket - use any stock app to achieve the same things and save all the trouble of mucking around with connect IQ and the limited interface on the watch.
It's nice to not have to pull out my phone. Using a smartwarch can be more convenient and accessible in certain situations
Strength Training+.. only $3 and records all your gym activities by recognising their movements
Whoa! Really?!
minutecast" Sorry, this app is not available in your country" - too bad
You clearly don't live in Vancouver where they have no clue how to predict weather. They will tell me it's sunny and I'm standing in the middle of a down pour. Weather forecasts in Vancouver are pointless. Assume... rain.
You saying it rains more in Vancouver?
@@JSyntax I'm saying the suggesting a forecast is "accurate" at any capacity is not something one would say living in Vancouver. The rain comparison goes without saying.
YVR = Yes Very Rainy
@@mystic-83_ hahah!
Garmin trex game
I need a total of 0 of the apps you mentioned in the video.
Garmin watches are so good you probably don't need any apps but these are personal opinion
Ok, thanks for letting us know. We needed to know that you don't need the apps.
Die Garmin Vivoactive finde ich sehr gut: tinyurl.com/y3ydqn3b
