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

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 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.

I bought it to replace my aging Fitbit only to find that it didn’t have the functionality I was seeking. I’m 68 and active. I wanted a device that would track my 4 mile walks, it doesn’t. My Fitbit did including; average-max-min heart rate, miles traveled in hundredths, total & per mile time, steps and calories burned, and more. Update- I jumped the gun. Sometimes we get these surveys a little too quickly, but I’m the one to blame for not fully learning the functionality of my Garmin watch. It does everything I want to and is my new favorite workout watch. I give five stars.

I bought this to replace my much loved (but no longer working) Vivoactive 4. It’s a lot easier to read! It also has new functions like the weather report that I’m using a lot. I’m using the strength and yoga tracking now, as well as the running function that I bought it for. I’m enjoying it so much I bought a Garmin scale to keep track of my progress. The only negative I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t calculate stairs like the Vivoactive 4 did, but that’s not a big deal for me.

Upgraded from a Vivioactive 4S. I LOVE this new watch. It has so many more features than my old one, and it's in color! I keep with Garmin for the live tracking GPS. My husband can see where I am while I walk our dog. My only regret, I wish I would have bought it sooner.

I upgraded from the 2 and what a difference! It took a minute to relearn some of the differences (and I’m still learning), but just the amount of battery life is incredible! I was charging my old watch every 2-3 days. The only downside I’ve noticed is the lack of compatibility with my Wahoo trainer; but I’ve started hitting the Cardio option so I get my heart rate etc tracked, them update my mileage into the Garmin app after. Other than that, it’s a perfect fit for the tri-athlete who doesn’t need all the bells and whistles but needs the important reliable data. 9 out of 10 stars ⭐️

I have been using Garmin watches for years for general gym use and active jobs. I really like the app and pack of a monthly subscription. Unfortunately something is wrong with the garmin vivoactive 5 line. I have gone through 1 brand new one where the bezel separated from the base and screen popped out. I purchased a recertified one and the screen has gone completely black in just 5 months. My vivoactive 4 lasted over 2 years. That's why I went to the 5. But now I feel dumb. The watch screens are not lasting.

It was a gift in March and not terrifically pleased. Needs to be recharged about every 2 to 3 days. I previously had a Vivoactive 4, which lasted o ly2 yearsvand would not charge at all. Viviactive 5 does not and an altimeter, which was a feature I really liked on my 4 especially when hiking. The 5 was a gift, so not much recourse to return, once I discovered the lack of feature I liked. I'll only give it 3 stars.

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.
