1. When walking, I can see the watch face with a constant on. I can see how my heart is doing easily when I walk. 2. Recharge Time - Quick, like when I'm taking a shower 3. Sleep Info - Never thought it was important. Comfortable to wear while sleeping. I can now see and understand better what happened in my sleep. 4. Sync with my iPhone And still learning more of the features. I bought a cheap "sports watch" last year. It's in the trash now.

So I bought this because my other watch didnt track my steps well. I am very pleased with this Garmin. It tracks my steps, heart rate, O2 and my sleep. I knew I wasn't sleeping well. Now I can show my doctor my watch and prove my sleep is terrible. I can switch from left to right arm wearing but it doesn't let you put if its your dominant wrist and I wish it tracked my BP. That would be a plus. Over all I love it.

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.

I've owned a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and a Vivoactive 4s. The Vivoactive 5 has great features that the others didn't-- including a lot more activities like open water swimming. I got this watch because the Garmin 4s had a problem that couldn't be addressed. I bought and received a Gamin Vivoactive 5 "recertified" watch. The watch itself is great but it came with nothing. No power cord, no instructions, no booklet. I would have really appreciated getting those things. I will have to do research to find out exactly how to use all the great functions. I'm still a Garmin loyal customer!

I love the Vivoactive 5. There are great upgrades from the 4 version. I love the blue option. The Garmin Connect app is easy to use and gives me all the information I need. I love how all the Garmin products work together and the app keeps all the stats. I recommend Garmin to everyone!

I been using this watch about a month and I am not to happy with it. First it says 11 day battery life. Try about 5. 11 days if you don’t wear it. It doesn’t keep correct stats on sleep and your body’s battery level. I can pretty much tell when I sleep good or I don’t. I have a bed that monitor sleep. My other watch was right on with that. Then when you wake up. It gives you negative messages. And then tells you your day might be irritable.

My vivoactive 5 is great for activity functions but not for my sleep. My wife goes to bed after me says I'm fast asleep. however in the morning my watch says I didn't fall asleep until hours after she says I was asleep.I have called a few times but noone seems to have a definitive explanation. I would love a solution that works.BTW it's always in the first 3or4 hrs.

This tracker does what I want to to do. One exception is the sleep tracker. It is too sensitive to movement! If I am not conscience of being awake...why does it say I am awake? I normally am sound asleep with in 10 minutes of lying down. I am asleep about 9:30 every night and wake up about 5 or 5:30. Once or twice a month (like last night) I was asleep about 9:35pm, woke up at 5:30am, my watch said I went to sleep at 12:31am, was awake for 1 hr 6 min. For a 3 hr 53 min of sleep. This is depressing! I am an active 78 year old and will not be tired today because I had a good nights sleep which the watch did not record properly.

I was looking for smartwatch with good battery life. Battery last about week awesome and charges quickly. I like all feature it has such as sleep tracker , steps, add workouts , and battery of course. It has stylish design and modern features. I ordered colored watch bands on Amazon.

Still learning all the things this can do, it's a LOT! I'm a convert from Fitbit, and am now wondering what took me so long. I mainly do yoga, Pilates, walk/jog/hike, kayaking, and bicycling, and I've JUST started with the coach workouts. Outside of the fitness features, the wellness features like stress levels and body battery have led me to discover that broken sleep is taking a LOT larger toll on me than I realized, so what once didn't seem that important has become a priority. I wouldn't have known otherwise.
