great upgrade

I bought this 2 months ago after my vivoactive 3 was acting up. I love the upgrade and the features that the 3 did not have.

Outstanding Choice

The Garmin watch is so much more than I envisioned...easy, intuitive use. Antenna is excellent and provides immediate communication for the various modes. Excited after a month that this watch was selected.

Very happy with the Vivoactive 5. Had a Venu Sq prior so everything connected quickly. The sq watch face seemed to fit my wrist a little better. Thanks for continuing to make an affordable quality product.

Great Features

I bought this a month ago and I love it! It tracks everything even your sleep and it recommends how many hours of sleep you should get every night and I need to get my sleep on course! I also like how it gives you medals for activities that you do

Horrible battery life

If the battery life lasted more than a day, Id really like this watch. The first week it worked fine with minimal features. Then it did a software update. Now it won't last more than 24 hours with a full charge on the battery saver setting.

So helpful!!

I love the “new to me” features with this watch. Compass, hints, morning reflection, and encouragements throughout the day. More features than I expected with this upgrade.

A nice upgrade from the vivo active 4

I got this watch, because my vivo active 4 stop working and it has been a great upgrade so far. Improved battery life and display. Plus, the new activities are great for me, especially soccer.

Needs improvement

Dont know why phone is connected and disconnected 3 inches from phone multiple times during. An hour. Can reply to things after phone sends it. Why can't i message someone from watch all the time? No audio, just buzz.

Great watch!

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few years now and it's one of the best investments l could make to keep track of my health. It's inexpensive, light, and not bulky. It's streamline shape and size fits perfectly for my needs.

Replacement for Garmin Tracker

I've used Garmin trackers for years. My last one finally bit the dust and I bought a Vivoactive 5. Very happy with it. The battery is fantastic. I charge it once a week and it usually has 35% or more left.
