TLDR: If you are an athlete go garmin!
Two different things garmin is a fitness watch and excels at it. iWatch is a lifestyle product. Garmin is geared towards getting you most out of your training as a result a lot of Apple Watch features are either not here or exist in limited capacity. Example being forerunner series that do not offer any touch screen, which is not useful if you're an athlete. Then you have whole apple vs garmin ecosystem.
Wanted to treat myself and look into something with music for longer distance runs. Had been looking at the Garmin Instinct for hiking activities - but I feel like the Vivoactive 4 is attractive for daily wear and the animations will encourage me to extend my jogging into more regular at home exercises. My first dip into this lineup from Garmin. If the FR 935 in the sale had music, I probably would have bought that instead.
Amazon offering 10% back too on in-house Amazon credit card purchase to me. Great price.
It's a great watch for surfing but you have to load the Surf Tracker data field and apply it to on of the existing gps-based apps (like SUP) but once you set it up it counts how many waves you caught, whether it was a right or a left, how far you rode the wave, how fast your fastest wave was, etc.. Also, once synced up to your phone it shows you a map of where you traced (spaghetti map). It will also track sleep and most of the other things these kind of watches do ~ like heart rate, etc.. Battery life is pretty decent, too..

I have the Vivoactive Music 3, not this newer version, but I use mine all the time with my Jabra Elite 65's and have never had a problem with hiccups or disconnects. Just a counterpoint.
I'm going to hold off and hope for a Vivoactive 5. I don't see enough of a difference between the 3 and 4 for my use case.

If you have been using a 235 for a bit you will miss the buttons! Well, at least I did when I went 235 > VA3. Didn't stay long on the VA3 and snagged a Fenix having the ability to fully interact with your watch while doing wet activities or wearing gloves, etc. is almost a necessity at least for me. Just something to consider.
