love to be able to track fitness and sleep

I have had the watch for almost 2 years and the only drawback I find that I wish it would tack my elevation for hiking.

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

It's an ok watch but doesn't connect to hone well

I bought this watch as advertised as a sports watch yet I can't get golf help. But I love the water proof help.

Great upgrade from my previous Vivo active 4

I bought this upgrade and love the new design and it has doubled my battery life to about 12-14 days. Only downside is that it doesn’t track stairs.

Good first watch.

I decided to get a watch after 4 years of running without, and it is a big upgrade. If you are looking for a workout watch this one is pretty solid.

Very sleek and aesthetic!

I’ve had it for a month and love the run logs and the heart monitor. I also love the sleep tracking!

Already broken clasp

It's been a month and my band just broke at dinner. Frustrating to spend so much on such questionable quality.

Much better than the Venu

I am still trying to learn all the new features compared to the Vivoactive 3 I had previously but it is much better than the Venu Sq that I tried.
