I bought this about a month ago because it was advertised to have better battery life than my vivioactive 4s. Didn't realize because it doesn't have an altimeter it does not differentiate between lift rides and skiing.

This watch looks great and has all the classic Garmin features. My only issue is that the battery is very spotty, I charge it fully and some days it lasts a couple hours, sometimes I get days out of it.

I've had the Vivoactive 5 for about a month. I keeps great stats with your health and exercise programs. However the watch doesn't stay connected with my phone. I have to reconnect at least 2-3 times a week.

I bought this in Dec to upgrade from Vivoactive 3! It’s been worth it & not disappointed! Easy to use & love the data, also watch faces you can choose from right on the watch, free! You can receive txt messages and so much!! Love love love Garmin!!

Got my new watch as a Christmas gift. Absolutely love the new features. The messages. The sleep and wake up display. I’ve always and always will be a Garmin girl. Gotten me through training, races and beyond!

So I far I encountered the craziest UX and the most old-fashion UI I have ever seen on such expensive device :( After using another smartwatch for several years, I can't get used to Garmin because it's really bad.

This watch is great! I’m a runner, so that primarily what I use this watch for. I love it so far, and I think I’m permanently converted to Garmin now.

I bought this watch to replace another brand smart watch. I have very pleased with the results and features from Garmin. The features this watch provides is top notch. The battery life is exceptional!!

I switched from an Apple watch and it was the best decision. There are so many more useful features on the garmin watch. Only thing is I can’t make it receive texts but that’s not a big deal to me.

I had been a long-time fitbit user but recently purchased the vivoactive 5. I am very happy with this smartwatch and the Garmin ecosystem. Wish I had switched sooner!
