It works great for my needs of daily health monitoring and workouts. The best feature is the battery life it is very good. The monitoring is also very accurate and it gives me the option to edit the distance when on a treadmill or something where it may not measure accurately. I would recommend any Garmin watch as this is my second and my wife has the Venu and all three have held up. I got one scratch on my face but when you do the things I do that happens.

I made the transition from Apple Watches for the longer battery life. I have followed all the online forums and videos for getting longer battery life, but none are helping. The battery lasts 3-4 days with almost everything turned off and a basic watch face with no color. It lasts no where near 11 days.

This is my second Garmin. I had a vivo active 2 before and decided to stay with the same line when getting the new watch. Love the features, track sleep stress and activities. The watch does a great job keeping me informed on where my body is at physically.

I’m not a runner or a hiker. I don’t do triathlons, and I don’t do marathons, I do a lot of daily walks, and I train with free and machine weights at a gym. I also train on a treadmill, stair master, and a spin bike. My Vivoactive 5 is perfect for my fitness needs. It replaced my vivoactive 3 and I love the battery life on the Vivoactive 5. It’s light weight and is comfortable to sleep with to track my sleep. I find it easy to use.

That’s how I described this the other day, because of how often I get reminders to start moving again! But I love this watch and its features. I bought it to track my distance and heart rate while swimming but have gotten hooked on the extras and ease of use—and I haven’t even read the owner’s manual! I need to find time to learn the many features; however, I love that this only has two buttons and the touchscreen makes scrolling menus super easy. I was worried on how long I’d have to take this off to charge the battery but it charges quickly so I charge it while I’m doing dishes and take my shower. I highly recommend this!

It gives me significantly more information than I need. My biggest challenge, at the age of 71, is learning how to utilize all it has to offer. I'm a former Pilot and have utilized Garmin's Aviation products. I do not believe that in either market, there are better products available. Having said that; Garmin needs to hire a "Normal" non-geek individuals to help them sort out user interface.

I bought it two or three weeks ago. I am very pleased. I do not regret it for a moment. In my 50 years, this is my third watch. I will say frankly, I do not want to take it off, but sometimes my hand needs a rest and the watch needs charging. They work as stated. The battery lasts 8-12 days, it all depends on how much you charge it and how often you play with it. By playing, I mean using GPS, using additional functions. The bracelet is comfortable. I recommend it to friends and acquaintances. I can’t say anything to strangers, you don’t know me!?!?

Bought this for my wife's birthday as a gift and she loves it! The tracking and apps to customize is just what she was looking for. I have the VivoActive4 and the updates to the 5 are great enhancements. Definitely a good all around watch and tracker.

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.

I have lost count of how many Garmin watches I have gotten over the years, but this is by far my favorite. I started getting Garmin because other activity watches available at the time didn't have anything waterproof and I need something so I could monitor my heart rate while I swam laps, I stay with it because of the app.Everytime I need to upgrade, I am excited by the newer features.
