I recently upgraded from Vivo 3 to Vivo 5. It has all my workout features that I need and easy to navigate. My favoite features though are the clear images for emails and my custom watchface - images not grainy. Also, I love that I can customize my quick replys instead of being limited to 4-5 choices. Love the smaller size too. I would definitely recommend.

I love the watch as a whole. Love everything it tracks, love it for training, love the Garmin connect app. But the watch disconnects from my phone FREQUENTLY. It's not out of range, it disconnects while I'm wearing the watch and my phone is in my hand. And I'm not the only user with this problem. The unit itself is nice but it's not worth it if it's never connected.

My gf got me this watch for xmas and I didn’t have to charge it until many days after. The battery life is great. Shows you your sleep score and stress levels while also teaching you how they impact one another. Has features to monitor many different sports and activities. Every day I know how much rest and recovery I’ll need to keep moving forward in my days. With two kids under 10 this watch has helped me become better motivated for my kids. Thank you, Garmin.

I've had this watch for a few months. After tweaking what I want it to do, notify me to this and that. Turning off the sleep mode and others things I have no need for, it still sends a nightly reminder asking if I'm awake. I don't sleep with it on my wrist. I have no sleeping issues. I worked shift work 40+ years, I know how to sleep when time allows. Way to many alternative sports loaded on here. With all these different types of activities, you would think hiking would be one of those. Nah had to down load one from the app store. It's great for what I use it for, just not into challenges and letting the world know I road 50 miles.

I wore a Fitbit for many years and when the last one died, I replaced it with what I had hoped would be a longer lasting watch. The first Vivo5 had to be replaced because it died within the first 3 months. The second one is still around although it, too, has died on a couple of occasions, but I have been able to bring it back to life after a few, furious pushing of buttons. (Actually, the last time it died I had to do a factory reset.) That's the bad new. The good news is that the watch pairs seamlessly with my Garmin Edge 530, which is another reason I switched to Vivo5. It is rich in features, and the battery life is much better than the Fitbit. I'm not a huge fan of how a new band attaches to the face--it's kinda finicky and requires small hands--but not enough of a downer for me to consider replacing it. Overall, I am happy I switched from Fitbit to Garmin, but would really like it to be more reliable.

Love how long the battery life lasts on it. I also love the always on feature. I like how it tracks my sleep and coaches me on how to sleep better. The only thing that I sometimes find a little annoying is the touch screen is not that good. Responses will also sometimes be laggy. But other than that I would highly recommend this product!!

I’ve been using this watch for about a month and it’s still not properly tracking my sleep. I figured it wasn't accurate because I just started using it and it needed time to acclimate to my body but here we are a month later and it’s still inaccurate by a long shot. I was in bed reading for two hours and chatting here and there with my partner. I wake up this morning to check my sleep score and it recorded those two hours as deep sleep and gave me a high score for great sleep when in reality, I didn’t get a minute of deep sleep and am exhausted today since I slept so poorly. It makes me wonder which other features are wrong that can’t be so easily measured. I’ll be returning.

Bought about a month ago. It works great. There is almost too many features. I came from a Fitbit user for years so learning how to navigate the watch has been part of the fun. It’s crazy how some workouts it automatically knows what movements I’m doing and what muscle groups I am working. I like the weight and size. I have small wrists and it fits great for me. Only thing I would say is I did my research seeing if the screen was scratch resistant or if I needed a screen protector. I found not to use a screen protector. But already within a month there is some minor scratching. It’s kind of driving me nuts but you can only see it in certain lighting. Over all happy with my purchase. Just wish the screen would always look as good as new.

I honestly tried all kind of Fitbits but seem to be allergic to the actual watch part as well as the band .Simply cannot wear Fitbit .So I started with the basic Venu .Loved it and no irritation.Wanted something more fancy so I bought this watch and I’m in love .Its fantastic and I’m Garmin for life !Over the moon that it doesn’t irritate my skin ..the watch and all !

I got this for Christmas - I was looking for a smartwatch to help me focus more on my running and overall health. I like most of the features, but the learning curve is a bit steep coming from an AppleWatch. I’m only disappointed that I can’t get my watch to show me text notifications. I’ve followed guides on the forums and other places (Reddit, Google, etc.), but it won’t work. Otherwise, it is perfect. I am more consistent with my workouts than before. I love the running training plans. I love being able to track my stress and sleep. I don’t think the step counter is too accurate or that the stress measure is accurate, but they’re good generally. Great watch! Exceeds expectations.
