I really like this smart watch. It is very functional and has good build quality. I wear it all day long, and the battery does not need to be charged for several days. I also like the ability to connect to a smart phone using the Garmin app. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a versatile smart watch that can be used for a wide variety of purposes.

So I’ve had this watch for a few weeks now and I very much enjoy it. I previously had an Apple Watch but my husband convinced me to go with garmin. It has a lot more to offer than apple. The only thing I don’t like is if there is a wall between me and my phone it will disconnect. Other than that I love it.

My daughter gave this to me to replace a Fitbit. This watch has more useable features than the Fitbit had WITHOUT the need for an annual fee. I would write a longer review, but my Garmin just told me it’s time to get up and move. Oh yeah I LIKE IT.

Coming from a VivoActive 3, the 5 tends to disappoint. The battery does not seem comparable. I get about the same battery life on my new 5 as I got on my 5 year old 3. To maintain a second hand on the screen at all times is now not possible with the face I like (it wasn't a problem or a battery drain on the 3). The updated menus seem to take longer to get to and get through. The physical markers around the watch face are now at 10 second intervals instead of 5. The lighting at night is not intuitive. The brightness apparently isn't capable of going to lowest brightness when on Auto. Sometimes it detects sleep and goes into sleep mode (turning the watch face off which then requires touch to see the watch vs just motion on the 3. Sometimes it doesn't detect sleep, so the watch face stays on. I understand these things are small and nitpicky, but they are quality of life features I really came to love on my 3. I am considering returning the 5 and going back to the 3 with hopes of the battery lasting a few more years.

Bought Garmin specifically for Body Battery information. Only 1 month in and still learning all possibilities of tracking - Sleep and Body Battery info very informative. Syncing with MyFitnessPal and seems seem less thus far. Would purchase again.

The Viviactive 5 is a great replacement device for my Apple Watch. I have had 2 Apple Watches and was a little hesitant to switch but so far I am happy with the product. Although the fitness features are a little off on some things I am happy with the change.

I had a Vivo move hr for several years and it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 1 day. I had been researching other Garmin Vivoactive watches and decided on this model. I'm a senior, so it took some trial and error before I got it set up. Really appreciate how much more information I have compared to the old watch. Also all the bands from the other watch fit this one, so a definite win. I'm sure there are many other functions that I am not using, but happy with what I am currently have. Also, the online user manual was very helpful for setting up the watch.

I've had this device for a couple of months now and have to say that I am loving it. It's incredibly light and the face choices are awesome! The activity capture appears to work very well and I really like the "morning report" that the device gives you. I've owned fitness trackers over the past 10+ years from another company that starts with F and this Garmin has it beat hands down!

My vivoactive 5 is great for activity functions but not for my sleep. My wife goes to bed after me says I'm fast asleep. however in the morning my watch says I didn't fall asleep until hours after she says I was asleep.I have called a few times but noone seems to have a definitive explanation. I would love a solution that works.BTW it's always in the first 3or4 hrs.

This is my second Garmin. I had a vivo active 2 before and decided to stay with the same line when getting the new watch. Love the features, track sleep stress and activities. The watch does a great job keeping me informed on where my body is at physically.
