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.

Where are the elevation fields

80% of the reason I purchased a Garmin watch was to track elevation. The elevation fields are not available on the Vivoactive 5 like the were on the vivoactive 4. The other 20% is to track distance, which I can confirm this watch does still do :(

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.

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

Bad Watch

I had to get my original watch replaced because of battery drain. The new watch drains just as fast as the old one! I paid for a watch that worked! Instead I got a watch that still doesn't work.

Won’t hold a charge

I bought mine in May and it already won’t hold a charge. Doesn’t even last 24 hours. I switched from Fitbit to garmin for this exact reason and my garmin has proven to be way worse than Fitbit products! So disappointing.
