Still learning how to operate. Need to call in for assistance as rolling the wrist doesn't always awake the screen. Password in watch is cumbersome, want to remove it, will need to call for help as well. Works well, learning curve greater than previous Vivosmart 4.

I have a Vivoactive 4 and felt the Vivoactive 5 would be an upgrade with a longer lasting battery. I went skiing with it the first day and saw that it did not keep track of runs. On further investigation I found out it does not have an altimeter like the 4 has so it is useless to me for skiing and biking. I returned it. In the future I would recommend to Garmin that when you release an updated model you don't remove key features.

It works good only thing is the battery, at first it lasted 11 days and since then after an update it was 24 hrs then had to watch a video to learn where everything was and turned off gps and now getting a week only had it 3 weeks we'll see how it goes. But watch the YouTube videos to learn how to use it.

I am a 79 year old competitive cyclist and purchased the Vivoactive 5 to track my fitness and workouts from my Edge 540 through Garmin Connect. This has been one of the best investments I have made. Because of the 24/7 health data monitoring I was able to identify a health issue which could have been serious. The ability to observe the trends in my health data following cycling workouts and recovery allowed me to identify that I was experiencing periods of AFib. Because of this I was able to take early actions to prevent this from becoming more serious. I really appreciate the integration of Garmin devices through Garmin Connect.

I have been wearing a vivo since the 3, and was excited to get this “upgrade” to a 5. The bright display is great, yep. The loss of the altimeter is not great, however, and unfortunately I have returned the watch. It's not in the 6 either. The “fix” I was given was that I could view the altitude after the activity in the app, however elevation is something I check during the activity, not after. Huge bummer, Garmin.

I bought this looking for a great fitness tracker for overall workouts and runs with all of the tracking. I've had the watch for 2 weeks now and I really love the sleep tracker and the programmable workouts so I don't need to keep checking my phone. I also horseback ride and while I do hope that in the future, that feature will be available on this watch, the cycle feature does work just as well. Overall I'd definitely recommend!

I had my Garmin watch for almost 3 weeks now and I am impressed with the features on it and I am also impressed with how long the battery lasts before I have to charge it again. I have an Apple Watch and I had it for a few years and I would need to charge it maybe twice in the same day. I still will continue to use my Apple Watch so that I can track all of my activity on that watch and of course now on my Garmin watch

There's a code I can hardly read and is even harder to enter in order to log into some of the features. The watch face is hard to read, and the date isn't on the main face. My last watch was a forerunner, and I loved it, but the band broke in a way that can't be fixed.

I've had this watch for over two weeks now and it easily out does my Apple Watch hands over fist. Yes it doesn't have all of the fitness activities the Apple Watch has, but it by far more accurate and more reliable. I'm glad I bought this watch and slowly getting away from the Apple eco system.

Love my watch when it works. However, EVERY time there is a software update then the battery life goes from 9 days to less than a day. The only way I've been able to figure out how to fix it is to factory reset the watch, uninstall the app from my phone and then set everything up over again. Then it works fine until the next SW update. They also don't allow users to disable updates.
