Vivoactive 5

I've only had this watch for around 6 months and it doesn't hold the battery charge anything like it's supposed to do and it keeps disconnecting from my Garmin phone app. At this stage and while still under guarantee it needs to be replaced!

Fast connection to GPS and great battery life

I bought vivoactive 4 and always took way too long to connect to GPS. Sometimes I could walk a block before it was ready. Video active five excellent, great battery life.

Finally, the perfect exercise watch

I moved up from the Vivoactive 4 and I am really impressed with the extra features. I can now see the dial face in bright sunlight. It even has a feature for measuring my activity on my E-bike. Great job, Garmin!

Nice watch but major flaw: Heartbeat rate not accu

I loved the watch at first. A wide range of features but unfortunately I found out that the heartbeat rate monitor was almost 30 beats per second lower than the actual. The actual was validated by 2 other instruments, watch and treadmill monitor.

Great upgrade

I replaced My Vioactive 3, This watch is so comfortable. It’s so light the strap is so soft you forget that you have it on. New screen is so clear and vibrant. Features are amazing and helps keep you on track for your fitness goals.

Great features!

This was a gift, and I couldn't be happier with it. Great features, simple to use, especially like the body battery option that shows you how well rested or drained you are. It recommends rest or activity, excellent gift!

Health and wellbeing

I received this watch for Mother’s Day and absolutely love it. It’s still calibrating to my activities and sleep but I love how it looks and changes(increase-decreases) my step count. Looking forward to challenging myself to getting healthier

Great first smartwatch!

Two weeks into my first smartwatch and it's been great! Easy to use, comfortable and durable so far. Does exactly what I need it to do, plus the additional golf app features are a bonus!

Love it!!

I love this replacement of my original vivoactive! Screen is clear and easy to read and the battery life is so much better! I do miss the metal parts of the band but can always buy a replacement band. This band is all rubber.

Nice upgrade from Vivoactive 4

The display has bright, vibrant colors. Sleep analysis has much more detail. I can now get HRV readings. Long battery life. It lasts a full week if I don’t use music.
