Still getting used to it

I've had the Vivoactive 3, and this is a great improvement. The display graphics are much better and it tracks a lot more information. Still, I'm a little disappointed that the 5 DOESN'T keep track of the number of flights of stairs climbed.

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!

Great watch!

I bought this watch 2 weeks ago. It has many features and as I continue to learn and navigate the watch functions, I love it even more. Great for the activity tracking and better than I thought it would be.

Great fetchers

I really enjoy the watch and all the fun things on it, but I’m not thrilled that there seems to be glue coming off of the screen around the metal gold piece. other then that I love it

Good features

I bought this watch in particular because the online documentation stated it was compatible with Android OS8...it's not. OS9 is the oldest Android operating system it will work with. Other than this, I really like it. Good size.

Great featured and an even better battery

I bought this a few weeks ago and have charged it twice. It is the best battery life on a smartwatch I’ve had and the body battery, stress, HR, and calories work really well. I would definitely recommend!

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.

Having problems!!

I like the watch and the look. I am having problems finding the activity app quickly when I go to the trails!! I push the button and mess with it a long time to get GOS started.

really like it!

I've had the watch about three weeks.....similar to my old garmin watch. My only complaint is the battery. Fine for about two weeks. Now the battery drains way too fast. Definitely does not last a week.....what could be wrong???

Joey's vivoactive 5

Like the watch, but was disappointed that it doesn't have an altimeter - Got this as a replacement for my vivoactive 4, via the tech hotline. Knowing what I know now, would have probably gone one more level up.
