Great Features

I bought this about 3 weeks ago and I am glad I did. I owned a Garmin before. I had it several years and it stopped working. I tried a cheaper brand which was awful, so I switched back to Garmin. I like that it has its own GPS and doesn't need to connect to my phone during my workout. I like that the face is big enough to show distance, pace, heart rate and over all time at one glance. No need to switch back and forth between faces.

Terrible SW update experiences

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.

Barimetric Altimeter was removed

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.

Great fitness watch!

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!

Garmin over Apple any day

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.
