I received this as a Mother’s Day gift since I am super active and my Apple Watch was dying before the end of the day. I’m able to go almost a full week on one full battery charge. So I’m able to track my sleep and daily activity at ease. I love the breakdown information garmin gives about my workouts. It’s definitely worth every penny.

it's probably the most accurate pedometer and calorie tracker I've used. also for being as low profile and almost fragile looking as it is I've taken it with me on lake trips, the range, and used it in other hard use situations where it has survived some interesting dings and bangs. for someone looking for a inexpensive smart watch to take more of their health into there hands it is great.

The watch seems thinner than my first Garmin and does everything I need for running, walking, golf scoring, and weight training. Being thinner allows me to wear it for sleep tracking. I have not used this model for inside treadmill use yet since the weather has been good for outdoor. Auto activity tracking seems pretty reliable as well as it’s fun to enable tracking in the golf course app so I can see how crazy of a game I played. The one big difference is this watch does not have the common “always on” Garmin display so you have to lift your wrist or touch the watch face to see current display.

This watch was perfect for what I was looking for out of a fitness tracker. The device can record my runs, and bike rides, while also showing my my HR live which is why I like it the most. The sleep seems to be accurate which is helpful. Overall very good fitness tracker. The only negative I would have regarding the device would be the charging cord. I have had to replace the cord 2 times which is a inconvenience, although the battery does last long which offsets that.

I switched from an Apple watch a month ago and I am totally in love with the Garmin. It tracks sooo much more than my Apple watch did and is way more accurate. I no longer get credit for exercising when just walking to and from my car! Haven’t looked back yet and I have Apple everything else.

Great daily watch with almost too many features. Hated the silicone band - will always advice to get something that woin't riisk skin irritation espoecially with it being an active watch. Keeps excellent track of all my daily needs -HR, Steps, active time - and kept excellent track of my various outdoor activities. They are LOTS of options and it's a bit tedious to learn in comparison to something like a fitbit, but I paid for those extra bells and whistle and for sure think it's worth it.

I have had my watch for only a day but I am already so impressed with the amount of additional features this watch offers. I had Samsung Galaxy watches previously and they pale in comparison. The battery life is unmatched, the accessibility, information. I have never seen a watch track your respiration but this does and so much more. Safe to say I will not get another brand other than Garmin again.

When this app and my watch are connecting, they're fantastic. But having to set up my device at least once, if not twice, a week is time consuming and makes me regret my "upgrade" to Garmin. I never put my actual goals into the app/watch anymore because it's a waste of my time. I could go back in time. I would have saved my money and bought a new fitb when my 5-year fitb broke.

I bought my Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. After owning a Vivoactive 4 for several years, the 4 died when I couldn't get it to charge or download and execute an update. The 5 has been good thus far, I only use the running, music, and other basic features. I don't keep it on 24/7 so I cannot comment on the sleep and other features that require the user to wear the watch all the time. I enjoy the verbal announcement when each lap is completed. It is a good watch that serves its purpose well, at least for me.

I purchased the Vívoactive 5 to replace my Vívoactive 4s. The display capabilities of the new watch are spot on and have exceeded some of the past features. It’s nice to be able to scroll through your features. I like the sleep report and end of the day report too. However, I do miss a few features like the auto start for activities and the pause for time while I was engaging in activities. I was also disappointed that I had a new charging cable. I always like to have a backup, but I don’t want to have to purchase yet another charging cord.
