Weird....

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a couple of years now and it works well except for the incident alert feature wihch is really clumsy and awkward. If I am out snowshoeing and stop to talk with someone, it sends an alert like I have fallen and can't get up. Also, today after a bike ride, the watch was no longer connected to my phone. None of my previously saved data was available on the watch or the phone. After re-pairing the phone to the "new" watch, all was good again. Then I got this request to review my new watch. Very weird.

Great Activity Tracker

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.

Sleep tracking can stop, or miss times if your watch detects enough movement. If there is enough movement or your heart rate is elevated the watch may not see that you are asleep. In these instances you can edit your sleep time within Garmin Connect: support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=qvpxqWtnKfAu2SOmRRhrY6&productID=894039&searchQuery=sleep%20tracking%20&tab=topics&textPage=1

You can't beat Garmin!

Fantastic watch with all the features just perfect for my needs. It interfaces smoothly with my Google Pixel phone, has an awesome battery life, keeps me motivated to reach my daily health goals, it's comfortable to wear, and I feel safer with it on. Zero regrets!

I've only used the watch a few days. So far, it seems to be fine.

The vivoactive 5 is compatible with both iPhone and Android phones. The recommended OS version is 16.0 or higher for iOS and 9 or higher for Android.
