Great Upgrade

I've had my watch for about a month and I'm so obsessed. Got it after my Fitbit Versa 2 died. This watch is so much better for tracking fitness and customizing it to my personal settings. Love love love! Thank you!

Great when it works

I enjoy using it when it works, but seems to disconnect more than normal. I am switching over from Fitbit which rarely had issues connecting, but this one seems to disconnect from my phone weekly. Other than that it is a great product.

Amazing watch!

I was looking for a watch that would provide helpful stats on my runs as I train for my first half marathon. I haven't even begun to exhaust all the features this watch has to offer. The customizable watch face and sleek design is a cute bonus.

I miss the floors count

I like everything about this watch. The only thing missing is the floor counts. I use the staircase at home and at work, often climbing 20 stories daily. I'd like to keep trace of that.

Still trying to work out the bugs

Doesn't seem to track my sleep correctly. It shows my wake time later than I actually woke up the past 3 days. Also, it keeps reverting to military time which is extremely annoying.

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.

Not so sure I like it...

It's kind of annoying having something pop up all the time and have to clear it. Time doesn't show during workout, again, annoying. Love the battery life though!

BEST WATCH I EVER HAD FOR HEALTH TRACKING

The Vivoactive 5 is the only watch that accurately keeps track of my glucose that I have found. It was a big move for me to step up to a Garmin but well worth it. Wish I had done it sooner.

Good fitness watch - not a good smart watch

This is a fitness watch with smartwatch features but the smart features are lacking. Dismissing notifications is a pain and I wish the alarms would sync with my Google Pixel phone. Otherwise, this is a good entry-level fitness watch.
