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.

Long Battery Life and Desired Features

It covers all my needs as someone who closely monitors all the major health indicators. Compared to other fitness watches and devices I’ve had in the past my Vivoactive 5 has exceptional battery life.

Didn’t last a year

Got it last September! Noticed small glitches and screen going black but he watch still operating then it just stopped working! I don’t even get the watch wet lol. 3 weeks later I get a recertified watch lol that’s today let’s hope this one lasts

Excellent watch

The technology has come a long way. I purchased to monitor sleep, hiking, and using my elliptical. The interface between AllTrails and Garmin is a bit off, but I'm hoping it will get better

2nd Vivioactive

I'm really happy with the Vivioactive 5. It is so much better than the Vivioactive 4. The display is brighter and it's easier to use. I do wish they made a longer wristband. I only have 2 notches left until the end of the strap.

Works great, easy to use.

Only issue I have with it is that the power cord is non-standard - I misplaced the one that came with the unit and now awaiting replacment cords so can recharge the waatch

Exactly as promised!

I bought the watch about a month ago primarily because of the battery life. I am getting over a week of life between charges. The watch, along with my phone, give me an all the data I need. VERY happy with the purchase.

Love it!

This watch is everything I needed in a fitness watch. 10x better than my galaxy watch. There are way more activities available on the watch than what is listed.

Great Watch

I've had a number of running/fitness watches (Garmin, Coros, Polar). The Vivoactive 5 is my favorite. Very lightweight but great features. It does everything I need for running, pool swimming, elliptical, weights, and walking/hiking. Very pleased.
