Great watch for my needs

I got this watch as a replacement for my first vivoactive 5. my original watch which was several years old. it stopped charging. Garmin replaced with a remanufactured watch at no charge. The remanufactured watch works fine and looks brand new. I am very pleased that Garmin provided the replacement watch at no cost. concerning the each itself. I love it. it looks great and does everything I need. I use it primarily for biking, hiking and walks, and basketball.

So-So

For the most part I like the Vivoactive 5, it's similar to the Fitbit Versa that I had. I like that the face can be customized for my needs. I DO NOT like that it continually connects and disconnects from my iPhone 15. I sent the first Vivoactive back because of this ISSUE but this 2nd one does the same which must be a Sotware problem. I also wish the face was a little smaller especially for smaller wrists.

Excellent craftsmanship

This is my second Garmin watch, but the vivoactive has exceeded all my expectations. I haven't begun to really explore all the functionality, I inputted the basic and the watch did the rest, it put me to bed and wakes me up. A great piece of technology...

4 out of 5 stars review

Super functional and battery life, screen fragile.

I'd maybe go 3.5 so far, but rounded up to 4. As far as the overall use of the VIvoactive I am happy. Having used other devices, the touch screen and ease of use/simplicity is not quite as straightforward. The touch screen isn't always responsive. The data from Sleep and Exercise are better than other watches I've used. The battery life is amazing, easily get a week+ in between charges. Happy with the weight, size, and so far I'd buy another Garmin for my next device. My biggest complaint so far is the fragility of the screen. For a device advertised for activity, swimming, active lifestyle, my screen cracked in 2 places with 1 minor drop. I accidentally dropped the watch and the case has multiple scratches and the screen, while still functional, is cracked. I am concerned now about any use around water and how much more durable it will be for what I hope is more years of use. I'm disappointed in the damage of the screen but overall happy with my Garmin.

I only have to charge it once a week! It tracks my steps and does everything I need it too! Way better than my old Apple Watch
