Easy to set up. Battery life is great. It does so much I primarily use for step tracking. Is a little hard to understand what all the features are. As I continue into my fitness journey I'll see what else is best for me.

I’ve been wanting a new smart watch and after having the Apple Watch for so long I was really wanting one with a longer battery life. This watch is great, it does exactly what I need but only needs charging every two weeks

buy it online and pick it up and you save like 80 bucks. make that make sense? anyway the watch is great but i do wish i had gotten the one with a microphone to respond back to texts

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!!

I bought this Vivoactive 5 to replace my Vivoactive 3. I was looking for more battery life. I am disappointed with the battery life. If I turn off all the nice features, battery life is outstanding. With features on, battery life is on par with my Vivoactive 3, which is many years older than the new model. The display is much nicer and there are additional features.

I really like my Garmin watch it has a battery that lasts over a week which I just love. it tracks everything I need such as steps, heart rate, pulse ox (many watches do NOT do oxygen saturations - this does), sleep logging, it synchs seamlessly with my phone and I can get the weather on it and know who's calling. it has features I don't use like music and I'm sure there's more. This not a commercial for the watch, honest. I've owned a few different brands. I just prefer this one. it's a little on the high end money-wise since it isn't a phone too like Apple but I already have a phone and I like it just fine.

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.

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.

I just upgraded from the Lily2. This smartwatch is just what I was looking for. I had to charge the Lily2 every morning. That may have had something to do with the fact that it was over 2 years old. I was looking for something with a longer battery life. This Vivoactive 5 started out needing a daily charge. However, when I disabled things that I don't use, the battery lasts at least a week. I don't golf, there is no where near where I live for year-round swimming, I have no where for hiking. I have color notifications from my outside cameras, notifications of emails, etc. I love my new smartwatch!

If there is a way to remove the word describing the quality of the sleep I had the night before- I would love to know it. I know I had a bad night, I do t need to be told. And I'd love to remove the “Sleep Coach” section. I like the watch. It has a lot of great features- still getting used to the graphics. There was a cute free watch face that I could load onto the watch. But when I try to find information on adjusting anything on the watch- nothing I've read has been clear enough- I'm guessing by the end of my attempts. Maybe I'm just too old to understand the descriptions.
