Somewhat disappointing

I wanted something I did not have to charge daily and this fits the bill. Overall its a good watch, however it connects and disconnects constantly and I can not connect at the distance it said I could. That is very disappointing and obnoxious

Nice Watch!

I won this watch and thought it was a pretty good watch. My old VENU was due for an update. It has a bright display, and was pretty easy to navigate. I did decide to upgrade to the Venu 4 for the flashlight.

Significant Upgrade to my VA3

I'm happy with my purchase at the sale price I paid. It seems to be more accurate than the watch it replaced and includes a number of new features to justify the upgrade. Battery life for me is 7 days.

A lot to learn

The watch was a Xmas gift. It has many features, and I gave it four stars because I'm trying to learn how to use them. I had “Steps” showing up at one point, and now I've lost them. Back to the directions!

Vivoactive 5

I love my new Vivoactive 5. A new nice to have is the heartrate monitor for swimming. I am also looking forward to using the open water swimming feature.

Does the job

I replaced a Fitbit that over time the display became unreadable. The Garman is much easier to read. The Garmin menu system is not great to navigate. I am satisfied but not enthusiastic about the watch.

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

Great features

I bought this a month ago to replace my Apple Watch, I love it. The only downside I have is the frequent disconnect from my phone even when it is right in my pocket

Only one fault!

I am in love with my Vivo5. It tracks my sleep, stress and steps way more accurately than any other fitness watch has. I can say, the only fault this watch has is its inability to track treadmill runs. Other than that I recommend this to everyone!

Verified Purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch is exactly what I wanted. After much research Walmart had the best price compared to other retailers.
