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.

Not good for ski resort tracking.

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.

So far, so good!

I was using a forerunner 245. The hr sensor in this watch seems so much more accurate! I've had problems with the charging cable on the 245. This charges the same way...I hope it's not a problem!

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.

Plenty of battery life

Moved up from the 2. Great battery life. Couldn’t get through 18 holes before. Really looking forward to putting this to the test. And I have the battery life to sleep with it.

Like the golf features

Bought this a few weeks ago because my vivioactive hr wouldn’t end round for my golf rounds. This one awesome with more features.

Love my Vivoactive 5

If Garmin can land a plane, it can guide me safely through all my workouts! Bright, great battery life, visible!

Great Features

I upgraded from the Vivoactive 4 and am still getting used to the changed format. BUT, I really enjoy the newer features and capabilities

Horrible

Never got anything to download onto the watch. Waste of money. Returned it. This is an issue for many users. Don’t waste your money on this

It's OK

Not worth the money.. screen doesn't work atleast once a day it goes black and won't wake up.. definitely not waterproof either so watch out!
