Great choice

I was looking for a smart watch that was helpful in my weight loss journey. I love the battery life. I charge on slow day once a week. I like the reminder to get a move.

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

Won’t hold a charge

I bought mine in May and it already won’t hold a charge. Doesn’t even last 24 hours. I switched from Fitbit to garmin for this exact reason and my garmin has proven to be way worse than Fitbit products! So disappointing.

Awesome all around watch!

I was needing a new watch and was needing one that I could wear while playing ice hockey. Really enjoy that added activity on this watch while still having all the other features I had on my previous Garmin watch.

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.

Great for a little bit of everything

This is the king of watch to get it you army to serious about any one sport it lacks super in depth features compared to its counterparts but you can’t beat it for the price.

Love it!

I recently switched from apple to Garmin and haven’t thought about my Apple Watch once! It has everything I need for running and more! I am so highly impressed!

Decent watch

Have had my garmin for about a month now and can say I am fairly happy with it but there are some issues that could be fixed, for example the connect app is very buggy and I can’t use Apple Music on it which sucks which is understandable

Easy to read data!

I had a Vivoactive 4S that was “glitchy” after 2 years. I got the 5 a couple of weeks ago and I love it! The face is just a little larger but the display is a lot easier to read. I also like the way the data is displayed in color.
