Overall good watch

Reliable, versatile and has many nice features. Still not clear about the Body Battery information. Wish the pool lap counter included kickboard laps. Maybe in the next model.

Battery life is amazing. Was an Apple Watch gal for almost a decade and made the switch and it can do basically all the same things with 10x the battery life

Underrated Watch in the Garmin Lineup!

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.

Frustrating

I’m disappointed that I can’t connect it to Spotify and/or AirPods. It should be possible right? I’ve spent too much time in trying to connect it with no results. I will not buy it again.

Great Battery Life

I have had this for about a month now and it is much better than my previous Apple Watch. The battery life is great and usually lasts 10 days. It has all the important features my Apple Watch had and more. I highly recommend.

Health and wellbeing

I received this watch for Mother’s Day and absolutely love it. It’s still calibrating to my activities and sleep but I love how it looks and changes(increase-decreases) my step count. Looking forward to challenging myself to getting healthier

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???

Perfect for my needs!

I’ve been using this watch for 3 weeks now. It’s a fine replacement for my old venu sq. The features are plentiful but enough and the battery life is great. I’d buy again.

Great updated features!

My wife and I both had Vivoactive 3s. Mine, in fact, was 8 years old. We are still learning about all the features and have been very pleased thus far.
