works in pool

It is easy to use but does need to be charged daily. Also would be nice if the time was listed in hours and minutes not by just hands. Does work in the pool while a teach a water fitness class.

Love it

I don’t have the vivoactive 5 watch, but I love my Fénix 8 watch! I used to have the old Vivoactive watch and it was great too.

Meets my expectations

Purchased a few weeks ago. Overall not bad. Sad it does not have a compass. Athletic tracking not bad. Sleep tracker much better than my Fitbit

Have to reconnect evey other week

The watch keeps disconnecting every other week and I have to keep reconnecting as though it's new. So frustrating

Not Happy

I have problems with the Vivoactive 5 watch and need to do an upgrade. The features don't always work correctly, and it's not much better than the vivoactive 4.

Great battery

The battery life is so fantastic. I has a model 3 and upgraded a bit which made a huge difference. Pleased with some of the metrics it keeps. I'm by no means super active but I am working on becoming more so. This is the encouragement I needed.

Great Watch!!!

I bought my Garmin to track my exercise in water aerobics classes! It does exactly what I purchased it for and 1/2 the price of the other watch I was considering!!

Nice Watch!

I won this watch and thought it was a pretty good watch. My old VENU was due for an update. It has a bright display, and was pretty easy to navigate. I did decide to upgrade to the Venu 4 for the flashlight.
