[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best way to stay fitness. Im very happy with the amount of stuff you can track, all the sports and activities you can find and also, as a woman, I can track my cycle and fertility.

It is not user friendly, still having problems with getting text to the watch. The previous one I had also Vivek 5 the lifetime of the battery only. Lasted 14 months.

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.

I have been using Garmin watches for years for general gym use and active jobs. I really like the app and pack of a monthly subscription. Unfortunately something is wrong with the garmin vivoactive 5 line. I have gone through 1 brand new one where the bezel separated from the base and screen popped out. I purchased a recertified one and the screen has gone completely black in just 5 months. My vivoactive 4 lasted over 2 years. That's why I went to the 5. But now I feel dumb. The watch screens are not lasting.

It was a gift in March and not terrifically pleased. Needs to be recharged about every 2 to 3 days. I previously had a Vivoactive 4, which lasted o ly2 yearsvand would not charge at all. Viviactive 5 does not and an altimeter, which was a feature I really liked on my 4 especially when hiking. The 5 was a gift, so not much recourse to return, once I discovered the lack of feature I liked. I'll only give it 3 stars.

This is my second vivoactive 5 in 4 months. Due to the fact that the charging port on the watch struggles to stay connected to the cord it's been the most frustrating purchase I've had with Garmin. I've come to trust the reliability of the product overall. But this model is terrible when it comes to the connector for charging.

I bought it to replace my aging Fitbit only to find that it didn't have the functionality I was seeking. I'm 68 and active. I wanted a device that would track my 4 mile walks, it doesn't. My Fitbit did including; average-max-min heart rate, miles traveled in hundredths, total & per mile time, steps and calories burned, and more. Update- I jumped the gun. Sometimes we get these surveys a little too quickly, but I'm the one to blame for not fully learning the functionality of my Garmin watch. It does everything I want to and is my new favorite workout watch. I give five stars.

There is nothing new about my Vivoactive 5smartwatch. Except that when my husband got a more advanced smartwatch, mine chose to not track sleep, then to not be connected to the Garmin app on my phone at all and stop counting steps as well. "Connecting" my husband's new watch seemed - over time - to disconnect mine! He turned his watch off and reconnected mine and it seems to be responding again.

I picked this watch out for my birthday and it is doing exactly what I want it to do. At first I had too many things turned on and that battery drained in a day. After figuring out the menu systema and what I actually wanted the battery is lasting a number of days now. I am very happy with this product.

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.
