I had a VivoActive 3 and do like the VivoActrive 5 better. It has more vivid colors, it was compatible with my favorite watch face "Rails". It seems brighter but I used to use the 3 for a night light walking through a dark room, but the new one doesn't work for that. The old one I charged once a day, the new one goes about 4 days between charges. The 3 used to use 7% of batteries on walks, the 5 only uses 3%. It doesn't keep trying to change watch faces like the 3 did. Not sure I like the morning update feature. I would like to be able to set the Oxygen sensor to check levels once every 10 minutes during the day along with the night monitor.

It's been almost 1-1/2 years since I bought this, and I'm still happy with my purchase! I bought this because I wanted to track my swimming (I'm a biker and love tracking stats, but I needed something that worked in the water). I love how it also tracks my sleep and rest, had many options for sports, and can be paired with my phone )no, thanks; I love being able to disconnect). This watch is much less than many of the other smartwatches out there and has everything (and more) that I need! (Keep in mind my photo is of a watch that has gone through a lot since I bought it, so a few scratches—but I still love it!)

the watch itself is okay. i got it for my son who loves tracking his steps. im just disappointed in Sams for advertising this as a 'Tech Savings' at the start of the month yet now it is on sale for $20 less than I paid for it %26 I only got it a week ago. if it wasnt a birthday gift, i would have returned it %26 repurchased it to get my $20 back.

i bought mine a month ago. At 79 years of age at first I felt overwhelmed. Can I get this device to even tell time? I had a Fitbit before. One shower ended its life. At least it died clean. it had been so long since I had purchsed a smart watch I was shocked to the prices had increased so much. Anyway I found this on sale on the Garmin website and bought it. The battery life has surprised me. It is many days. I use it for my chair cardio workouts and hikes. So, I probably have not put this watch through its paces. I also use it for text messages and Ring Camera alerts, On my old watch I had to speed read before the text disappeared forever. On my new Garmin they are saved until I delete. I even get pictures of the transgressor of my Ring coverage, So I am very happy with this watch. I have since bought a plastic screen protector and little plugs for the charging port. Two things I have found odd. #1 the charging cable. The connection end to the charging brick requires an Apple type charger. So I have to use my wife's Ipad charger. #2 it brings a smile to me when I am active and it tells me to get active. Last night I was out walking and it told me to get active. It is not as smart as I thought it was. Or, maybe I am not smart enough to determine how to turn off that feature. Time will tell. And speaking of time, I am glad it tells time too. Regards,

After using this smartwatch/fitness tracker for 6 months I am very disappointed in the product. It does not accurately measure heart rate, pretty important in training. The intensity recording is also way off as it considered repotting a plant to be intensity minutes. I have also had to reboot the unit several times because the screen would not turn on. Garmin will only exchange for a refurbished unit. I expected more from this brand. May as well buy a knock off.

touch screen stops working frequently. only have had for a month and i take care of it

Good size, battery and quality but the app is not that easy

So far pretty awesome. Def beats Apple Standards.

I was told about this watch by family that was it a good band for this watch.

Great watch really tracks my steps well and my sleep works great with my iPhone
