I’ve had my watch for three weeks and love it. I went away from Apple Watch because I hate the battery life and just wanted something more geared towards fitness/health. I had a garmin years ago and wanted to get another. I went with the viviactive 5 because it’s reasonably priced, and if it wasn’t the watch for me I wouldn’t be out a ton of money. This watch is phenomenal if you’re new to Garmin or aren’t looking to spend a chunk of change. I would go with the vivoactive 6 though if I could have a do over simply because it’s a newer version.

After a disappointing experience with the Tactical Instinct Solar x2. I decided to get rid of it for the following reasons. It was terrible. Inaccurate, Black & White screen, too many buts required to setup and operate. Way over priced!! I choose this model 5 Vivo Active for several reasons. 1. Past models 3 and 4 were very good watches and Garmin stood behind them. 2. Color screen I can see. 3. Easy to operate and setup 4. Features, multiple watch faces, and increased activity’s. 5. Accurate information distance and mileage, steps etc. 6. Cost is not bad unlike the Instinct 7. Durability and fast response downloading. My only complaints it is not text comparable with my I Phone like the new model VA6. No storage or ability to respond to text. The bezel is smaller than the VA4 I would prefer a larger watch face.

I absolutely love this watch! I got mine on Monday and ordered my husband one Tuesday. Great battery life, lightweight but built very well, fitness, health tracking, and some bells and whistles. You can even respond to texts as it will pull up a keyboard. I previously had another brand and loved it, but love this one even more. You can choose different clock faces (large selection) right from your watch. The app is great too!

I've been wearing this watch for about a month. I like the features, though I've turned off the little "nag" features. I wanted to keep an eye on my workouts and this satisfied that requirement. I also like the ability to see notifications from my phone, without the need to use the watch to respond.

I am really enjoying my Garmin Vivoactive 5 so far. I mainly really wanted it to keep up with my walking/jogging, but I’ve also used it to track my strength training/HIIT exercises as well. Truly love the battery life. It’s SO nice not having to put it on the charger at the end of each day.

Nice watchslim . And gets the. Job done

Love how lightweight and easy it is to use and connect to my phone.

Didn't track my sleep correctly so I'm returning it.

I love my wash, easy to use very detail information, long life battery, excellent quality 👌

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