Do you have a question about the VIVOACTIVE 4S and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
How the hell do you turn off the stupid reminder to get up and be active. I've been dicking around with this for days.
To turn off the activity reminder on the Garmin VIVOACTIVE 4S, you need to turn off activity tracking. When you do this, your steps, floors climbed, and intensity minutes will not be recorded.
