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!!

So far so good

I switched from a Fitbit to the Garmin vivo5 and wished I did it sooner. It's a great watch. Easy to use and stats are simple. The only feature I would have appreciated is the workout options. I would add just a basic workout feature or cross training for those that do mixed training such as strength and conditioning.

This is my second Garmin

This is my second Garmin, and I like it better than the first. The first was an Instinct, and although I did like it, it was difficult to work with and I found it very frustrating to operate. I am finding the Vivoactive to be very user friendly simple to use it's functions. The other part is that being a woman, the Instinct was very masculine and my Vivoactive is more feminine, which is to my liking. Overall, I would say, so far so good. Battery life is always good on Garmins and it was very easy to setup on the app.

Still figuring it out

I bought this to replace a Fitbit that died early. I'm 72 and only moderately tech savvy. My husband and I got it going after a bit. I'm liking the Garmin so far. Love the walk feature and GPS never poops out. Still figuring out all the features. I like the wake up routine. Not exactly sure how the sleep score is decided. The watch charges quickly. Charge lasts a long time. I'm hoping it lasts longer than the 1 1/2 years that my previous fitness tracker lasted. Since I've had the Garmin for less than a month, some ratings might differ over time.

Goodbye Apple Watch!

Bought this after doing a good bit of research as I was in need of once again replacing my Apple Watch so after doing some deep diving I figured the vivoactive 5 would be a great introduction to the Garmin ecosystem. Three weeks in and I’m upset I didn’t do this sooner. Much more in depth then the Apple Watch and I’m still learning all the things Garmin is capable of. Love it so far

Love My Vivoactive

I love my vivoactive. I got it to really capture my calories burned while at work and to keep better track of my workouts. It’s easy to use and navigate. The Spotify app always works. I love that you can also personalize the watch face. I’m so glad I made the switch from the Apple Watch.

Upgraded interface is fast

I like the vivoactive series of watches having and used them for many years. The 5 is more compact and I like the faster access to information along with the added health reminders. The screen is a welcome upgrade its always clear and easy to see. The Connect app still integrates my bike computer, HR band and watch.

Great informational watch

I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. Very easy to set up. I get 5 to 7 battery life which I love. I originally wanted samsung watch but read that it had to be charged daily and battery life is important to me. I love the look and faces on the watch. Seems very accurate. This watch does not disappoint

Definitely an upgrade

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.

Great features but....

It sometimes feels like the measurements are off. Obviously, with a wrist watch things won't be 100% accurate all the time so I still give it 5 stars. I wonder if I need to calibrate it to maybe correct it. The battery lasts so much longer than my previous watch so I'm already impressed. The customization is quite extensive as well. I changed clock faces, edited my short cuts and even downloaded another app for my watch. The store seems a little confusing but I just need more time on it to understand it. Tldr: good watch, needs some improvements in the measurements aspect(or mine needs calibration if that's even a thing), battery lasts quite a while, customization is great
