Great features, many ways to follow daily actions

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.

Battery doesn't stay charged

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!

Great GPS Good Apps

I moved from a Fitbit to the Garmin VA5. I do like it, but even after a yr I'm still swiping when I should be pushing a button. The Fitbit was much more user friendly. Easy swipes then taps. Easy pause taps during exercise. This watch still has a way to go to simply things. It should be the way of the our phones, easy taps and swipes.

How did I ever get along without this!

I bought this for my wife. She's a teacher. She doesn't allow phones in her classroom, so she doesn't look at hers. This watch keeps her in communication, even at work. It's been very convenient on multiple occasions. She has also used our a a game. She keeps trying to get the best sleep score she can. 87 is her best. What's yours? The watch looks good. It's stylish. It's sleek and doesn't snag on things like a bulky watch can.

Band made my wrist raw

The band that shipped with the fitness tracker caused my wrist to become raw. Currently trying to find a replacement band so that I can continue to use the device. The features are very nice to have when i could wear the device. Need to find a good replacement band that will not irritate my skin.

No thanks Garmin on Garmin Pay requirement

Garmin requires you to use Garmin Pay to be able to use this device. Also, they only accept Visa and MasterCard. Deal breaker for me!

Product and price is great. Only reason I didn't give price 5 stars is because I had to do online when I was already in store as mentioned earlier

easy and long lasting

Battery life literally for days; it charges quickly, has great battery life, and has a number of non-paywall features.
