      That's odd.. I just placed an order and I can still order another one. It's shipped to my address in NSW.

      is your address to a parcel collect or a locker ?
      I get that message about 50% of the time to my default address (parcel collect) , it's ok after I switch to my street address

  • Oh man! Ordered the Vivoactive 3 on JB Hi-fi cause I didn't think these would go under $400 anytime soon

  • Great price

  • Get it price matched at officeworks for a quicker delivery time ?? Item Model Number 010-02173-02

    • I've tried they said no :(

      • Did they say why ? Matching model no.

        • They mentioned that it was coming in from the UK hence different model.

  • They could have put a bit more effort and get the date/ time to be 10days, 1 hour 1 minute later

  • Local Warranty? I saw someone say that once you register the warranty card, it all works here? Anyone can confirm?

    • not exactly sure but amazon is pretty good with assisting.

      • Thanks! Bought! Been looking for vivoactive 4 for a while

    • You definitely need warranty with Garmin. Terrible quality control. I've had about at least 6 Garmin devices fail within 2 years.
      My Venu is having problems after 13 months.

    How does this compare to the Forerunner 245 Music? I bought the 245 the other day when it went on sale but thinking maybe I should have bought this one instead.

    • I have the venu for comparison - the 245M is not touchscreen and only uses buttons. The screen is worse on the 245M but may be better in the sunlight. The 245m will have more features to offer for runners.

      The Venu is a great fitness watch with good smart phone capabilities.

  • Thanks OP - bought

    I have had Venu for over a year now and can vouch for the quality and battery life. Regular updates have made it even better than how it performed out of the box. Only thing I don't like is their proprietary charging connection. Have to remember to carry the charging cable wherever I go and it is not any of the standards USB connections, unfortunately.

    • The charging cable is loose on mine after 13 months, so I have to jiggle it to get it to charge.

  • This or the Vivoactive 4? Mainly after something for tap to pay function and just a watch not really much of a runner or anything

    • This. Main differentiation is the AMOLED screen on the Venu, which gives a better display but slightly less battery life. Otherwise functionality is practically the same. The Venu usually retails at ~$70 more than the Vivoactive 4.

      I was looking at the budget Venu Sq for about $300-$350. This is a great price!

      • Darn it 😔 I missed out on the sale, now that I don't want the Vivoactive 4 I find it for $388. Would you know if the warranty will work here in aus and the garmin pay will work in aus seeming as this is UK stock?

    Great, this ticked all the boxes for me. NFC, altimeter and I prefer the color as well to the black Forerunner.

    Deal was done when review said the Venu is better for multisports incl skiiing as opposed to running. My running days are over unless theres a good deal on Ozb for knee replacements!

    Pity it doesnt do wireless charging and are proprietary cords the usual thing now?

  • Just wondering why the Garmin seems very popular? What is better if you compare with Samsung and Apple watch?

    Thank you

    • Apple watch is probably better.

      Main difference between the Samsung and Garmin is the sensors are much more accurate. Better for tracking your activity.

      Smartwatch functions vlike notifications, apps and calls the Samsung are better.

      They are two different beasts Garmin uses buttons and a non touch colour low energy display, it means you get about a week out of the battery with about 3-4 exercise recordings. The reason for the buttons is when you sweat touch screens are pretty useless.

      The hidden gem in the Garmin watches is the coaching feature that sets a plan based on your fitness for improving. I and many of my friends have used this system and it works to really improve your running. An apple or Samsung is like a tiny phone and they can be great but personally they don't serve a purpose for me and I much prefer the garmin as I still get notifications but everything else it does has a purpose that the phone can't do well at all.

      • The Venu has a high resolution touch screen

  • just tried matching at office work, they told me cause the deal required prime service they aren't able to

    • You don’t have to have Prime to get that price. You get free shipping with Prime but the discounted price is available to everyone.

      OW should honour the total price which includes shipping.

  • Ooh, just purchased the Forerunner 245 and had previously had my eye on the Venu.

    If this were the granite black I might have had some decisions to make tonight, heh, given only around a hundy more than the former.

    I’m mostly a runner and swimmer anyway so the Foreunner should do the trick.

    Good price for the the Venu, though.

  • Any import duty on this?

  • It's finished 😔

  • Does Garmin Pay work in Australia? (As this is UK stock)

    • I too would like to know :)

  • Deal has expired

  • Can these display topo maps?

  • I wondered about Garmin pay in Aus as well. A lot of reviews spoke of difficulty with it in the UK and EU so for us Im not so sure.
    Interestingly there were no questions showing for this product on Amazon, unusual as it had a lot of reviews with in depth discussion.
    I asked the question re Garmin Pay in Aus via Amazon questions for the product but too date it has not appeared, not sure whats going on there?

    • That's a very risky purchase then if we purchase the stock from UK especially for warranty, and if the garmin pay doesn't work here then it'll be a hard pass for me regardless of the saving

  • I'm pretty comfortable with Amazon re warranty if the need arises.
    Re the Garmin pay working in AU if that's a deal breaker for you then just return for full credit if it doesn't.
    I noticed the current listing now shows Amazon au as the seller and supplier but price is up to $550
