I like it a lot only if it would change to 100%

I bought my vivio active five will only charge up to 84% and I let it charge all night put it didn't change at all I don't know what to do with it. This is the third one I've had and they all did the same thing

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

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.

Terrible

Terrible watch. Does not keep a charge really want my money back. Apps are not correct. Does not catch a true depiction of my sleep or body. False advertising/ cheaply made and extremely disappointed

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.

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.

Love it!

My daughter got me this for Christmas, I had a Garmin that is solar powered. I liked it but this one is so much better!!it does so many more things and is easier to read while running.

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.

Notifications dont work

Was great when I first got it, then stopped receiving notifications on the watch. Tried everything suggested to get notifications to come through. No success. Will probably have to purchase a new watch - wont be Garmin
