defective unit?

After getting fully charged, the battery drains quickly (ex. 70% level after 15 minutes of use) As per the specs of the watch, the battery is supposed to last at least 10 days. Who can I contact to return the item?

Love my Garmin

This is a great fitness tracker. Keeps me interested in exercising and provides the challenges that I need. The fact it says good morning is cute. I also love the color.

I’ve owned the watch for not even 3 months and I’ve had so many issues with the heart rate monitor. Multiple times the watch has had an update and wouldn’t turn back on for at least a day. I’ve read such good things about this watch and maybe I got a fluke but very disappointed in the quality from a technology standpoint.

Love!!!

Would definitely purchase again!! I’m trying to get used to it after having an Apple Watch for so long but I cannot get over how long the battery lasts!!!! It’s amazing!! I got it on a Monday, and it’s Friday and it’s still at 41%! That’s with me wearing it at night as well!! I’m so impressed!!

too hard to use as a watch

It's just really hard to use any of the watch face features. sometimes it's hard to get the time to appear. It's a watch. I will say that the monitoring features are really really good except for that it doesn't seem to have any pulse ox monitoring features that I know of.

Love the garmin watch in comparison to my old Apple Watch. Has a lot more features including the sleep tracking which is very helpful and nice to have. Great fitness tracking that is fairly accurate. Battery life has been fluctuating, sometimes lasts for almost a week, other times it dies at the end of the day. Not sure why. Lots of software updates.

Upgraded from my Fitbit Luxe (which I adored - I wanted something with text/call features as well) to the Garmin Vivoactive5. It is a really nice watch, very comfortable, and perfect for what I need, which is holding myself accountable for being more active. As someone who hates bulky watches or other accessories on my wrist, this watch is definitely a great choice for me.

I hate the look of the Apple Watches, so I was excited to try this. It does what it says. My complaint is that when I lost it, I cannot ping it- like an Apple Watch. No tracking if lost or stolen. Can’t shut the watch down. No pin to protect it, etc. So whoever finds your watch has access to the information stored on it. Paying extra for security and peace of mind is worth it- as I found out the hard way.

works ok. tracks steps well enough as well as the heart rate. Few improvements needed. 1. move all the set up and preferences to the app. a lot of items like watch face and other things must be done via watch face, which is difficult. 2. if Im awake in the night, even up and about excerting myself the watch counts that as REM sleep. so not accurate there. 3. Allow user to build in a work out routine from the app, or even laptop. the watch face is very limited. all that said, not bad for $200. but would be great at $50.
