I love all the ways to track my activities on the watch and on the app on my cell phone. There so many ways to track many different activities, more than I will be able to use. But for many people it can be wonderful tool for real active individuals. I had a vivoactive 3 watch for many years before I decided to upgrade to this new vivoactive 5, GREAT move. I liked mine so much that I got the same watch for my wife. It has been very great for us to share the data we are gathering on our health.

Achat il y a deux semaines pour remplacer vivoactive 4 , écran noir subitement, reset impossible, 4 ans d’âge. Ma vivoactive 5, a deux reprises est devenu avec un écran noir, durant 4h la première fois, une nuit complète la deuxième fois, rest impossible puis soudainement, tout redevient normal. Il semble que ce soit fréquent avec la 5

I am coming from a fitbit - I like this it has more on watch features but I do wish it had a microphone so I could ask alexa to do things around the house and respond to texts. I love how the watch looks and feels I did get a new band for it though. Overall it takes some getting used to after using fitbit but I like it!

Hello I just received a Garmin vivoactive 5 on Christmas and was very excited. One of the features that I was really excited about was the battery life, but so far very disappointed. my battery doesn't last more than 24 hours! I've tried all of the things to do, drained the battery entirely and cleaned the ports and no success!

This product has changed my overall health and pushes me to be better everyday!! I’ve already recommended to so many people and have already had two people get one!!!! I love this watch! I use it for stress tracking, running (training for a half marathon), hydration, steps and so much more!! I love how it is also waterproof and the battery life is amazing. I used to have an Apple Watch and it always died on me but not this watch!

My third iteration of this product line. Purchased to replace aging Vivoactive 3. Significant upgrade with much more health data and improved accuracy, particularly in sleep measurements. Much better in my lap swimming. Hats off to Garmin for making it affordable and significantly improving its usefulness and performance.

My old Vivoactive HR broke down and it was time to upgrade. I bought the Vivoactive 5 even though there is a newer version since it was less expensive. The Vivoactive 5 connects to my phone immediately where the HR model took a while to connect after a run or workout. The display is bright and colorful and there are many options for the watch face. The only change I would like to make it to have the time of day on the workout option. Maybe there is a way to add this but I haven't figured it out yet. This model does so much that I can't imagine the Vivoactive 6 having even more features. I'm sure it does but the 5 has plenty of features for me.

I like my watch and would recommend it to others. It tracks a lot of metrics that were confusing at first, but have grown on me and now I appreciate. Overall high marks, very nice products Issues: It is not great at monitoring heart rate. Some time it reads low values and I move my watch a bit and then reading recovers. Maybe it a problem common to all wrist type measurement, so I understand why some people also buy the chest monitor. I plan to, but they currently have a long lead time. It also seems to have some delays in syncing Active Activity with my iOs health app. Might be an iOS issue. Finally, a second charging cable would be helpfuil. I ended up buying a set on-line, and did buy the older stayle USB A since most of my home chargers are this type. But great product overall, Santa might be bringing my wife one.

My second vivoactive with a break in the middle for 2 apple watches. Garmin charges once a week with GPS activity tracking having the greatest toll vs apple where i’d get 36 hours between charges. Decided to go back to Garmin after a multi-day hike with my apple requiring me to drag a battery pack along and never getting more than 10 miles of tracking before battery died. Don’t love the garmin user interface and snow sports tracking is questionable having to manually mark runs. I’ll use apple for snow sports but garmin for the rest. Fortunately i’m able to share and merge data between the 2 devices.

I have had Garmin products for at least 10 years. I had the vivofit 3 and 4 and loved them, but I had bought several 4's and they kept dying on me after I changed the batteries. So, I decided to give the Vivoactive 5 a try. I love it! I love the features and I love the GPS!
