Great watch

I bought this about a month ago and I am very happy with it! The features are wonderful! I have enjoyed it very much! Thank you for a wonderful product.

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

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 :(

Easy and Fantastic

Love how easy it is to use everything on it. Great brightness and clever making time lighter during the night. Told my BFF about it she's buying one now.

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!

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.

Very satisfied

I had a Vivo5 that wouldn't track my ride, hikes, steps. I was impressed by Garmin letting me do the exchange for the Vivoactive5. I am very pleased and satisfied with Garmin.

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.

great buy

switched from my samsung galaxy watch and very pleased. battery life is around 8 days for me. Health metrics and sleep tracking are much more precise than samsung. only draw back is cant respond to texts or calls.

They got rid of the altimeter which I didn’t know, it works okay either way but elevation readings are less accurate if thats really important to you!
