Okay so far

I bought this a month ago. Still figuring things out. Know the basics. Just lately it won't keep a charge

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

Good, but not as good as Vivoactive 4

I’m enjoying the new watch, but miss the elevation gain and flights climbed feature of 4 that is not on the 5.

Great watch

I bought this BUT certainly have not even begun to use the features it has, I'm still learning how to make sure I have time and date showing.

IMO better than the Apple Watch

I got it a few weeks ago. So far I prefer it over the Apple Watch. It seems to be made better. And it definitely looks better.

Great watch!

I bought this watch to replace an Apple Watch I shattered. Glad I purchased this as it has all the fitness features I need.

Easy to use

I switched from apple watch. I like battery life of vivo and the easy use of apps. No longer need to charge each night.

Nice watch, great features

I am enjoying this watch. Has many nice features, love to have my steps. I do wonder if it has a feature to help me find my phone.

Excellent question - the Vivoactive 5 does have a "Find My Phone" feature! You can use it by following the steps linked here: http://ms.spr.ly/6429s0z3U Here's some additional information about how the audio alert will play, and how the feature differs between Android phones and iPhones: http://ms.spr.ly/6420s0z3q
