Frustrated!

Stop working correctly a while ago. Tried to reboot but it stayed stuck on some sort of demo mode and does not work properly

Nice watch, great features

I am enjoying this watch. Has many nice features, love to have my steps. I do wonder if it has a feature to help me find my phone.

​Excellent question - the Vivoactive 5 does have a "Find My Phone" feature! You can use it by following the steps linked here: http://ms.spr.ly/6429s0z3U Here's some additional information about how the audio alert will play, and how the feature differs between Android phones and iPhones: http://ms.spr.ly/6420s0z3q

Love it

It’s simple and easy. I walk around my work a lot, so I wanted something to track my steps with. This is accurate.

This is a far cheaper smart watch than an Apple Watch. I love this Garmin. Would highly recommend to those looking to track their biometrics.

love to be able to track fitness and sleep

I have had the watch for almost 2 years and the only drawback I find that I wish it would tack my elevation for hiking.

Broke quickly

Went into set up demo and couldn’t get it to exit the demo mode. Continuously switched displays modes etc.

You should be able to exit demo mode by pressing the bottom button quickly about 8 times, and then select the check mark that displays.

Great watch

I bought this for myself as a Christmas gift. It does a great job of keeping my stats for my mountain bike rides.

Accuracy

I've had my Garmin for a month and I love the accuracy and detail it gives. This is a step up from the Fitbit.

I'm Enjoying it

Been wearing it about a month now and getting to know the features. I'm having trouble with the. Garmin messages though. They pop up and are gone before I can get my glasses on.

I like it a lot

Really enjoy the many features it has to offer. Glad the hrm sensor syncs to my edge 540. Have not been able to get the edge and watch to pair however other then the hrm sensor. Most likely something I’m overlooking.
