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 bought this watch about a month ago and I am very impressed with it. The battery lasts for about a week , The many features available makes the most versatile fitness watch i have ever owned. It synchronized with my Samsung equipment without trouble. Thanks Garmin for making a great product.

Decided to leave my Fitbit Versa 4 for Garmin Vivoactive 5. Finding some significant differences in sleep scores. Garmin shows much longer deep sleep and REM sleep yet score is much lower. Which one is correct? That being said the Vivoactive 5 has lots of features. It will take time to figure out all of them and how to get the best use of the smartwatch.

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'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 am very happy with my vivoactive 5 so far. Great value for the price as compared to something like an Apple Watch or Garmin Venu 3. The health features (including sleep tracking) are very good and there are many activities and apps. It is my first smartwatch so I would recommend it for other beginners or experienced users looking for a budget option. Some of the menus can be unintuitive but it becomes more familiar with time.

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 have had this watch for a little over 2 weeks, and I am so impressed with it!! It has a great display and I love the touchscreen feature! I have also really enjoyed the morning wake up feature where it goes over my sleep and the weather for the day!!

I am a die hard Apple product person. Full stop. I had an Apple Watch and it was…fine. This garmin? AMAAAAAZING. I absolutely love the fact that I am not having to charge it every day. I love that it tracks my health stuff and still gives me my text previews. My favorite feature though is that I can use a regular quick release watch band vs having to buy a special one if I ever want to change it up.

I bought this for my wife. She's a teacher. She doesn't allow phones in her classroom, so she doesn't look at hers. This watch keeps her in communication, even at work. It's been very convenient on multiple occasions. She has also used our a a game. She keeps trying to get the best sleep score she can. 87 is her best. What's yours? The watch looks good. It's stylish. It's sleek and doesn't snag on things like a bulky watch can.
