Although it is bigger than I like, it is very comfortable and lightweight on my wrist. It is easy to use, once I read the online manual. It keeps me inline. I also appreciate that I can track hydration on the watch instead of going through the app. There is so much to the watch I haven't even begun to use them all.

It surprises me that there is not an easy way (or free app) for capturing my gym membership details since this is the primary activity why I bought this watch. My former Galaxy3 had this useful capability. Otherwise it's a good-value watch for workouts and health data.

I bought this watch a while ago and I absolutely love it!! It has so many more features then the last watch that I had. I can keep track of everything that I need to keep track of all in one little nifty compact watch! I hope others will love their vivoactive 5 just like I do

Everything from the many different intense activities I can elect to do (inside or outside) that the Garmin watch then tracks my performance on by looking at such things as heart rate or say, "stroke rate" for rowing with an indoor rowing machine to being able to be alerted to important messages from loved ones who text me and to whom I can respond with short messages when I cannot take the time to respond from my smartphone are all valuable features that I have come to depend on with my Garmin Vivoactive(R) 5. I just love it! ❤️

I had the Garmin Vivoactive 4, but gave it to my son to get this. The Vivoactive 5 has much better battery life, a much better interface, and an easier to read screen for these old eyes. Additional features like the sleep score & improved analysis give me much better understanding of my sleep patterns and how they respond to daily activities. The battery life is much improved - I get several more days of battery life than I did with the previous generation. The change in interface, from widgets on separate screens to "glances" on one screen makes navigation so much easier and faster. It's really slick!

I have owned a Vivoactive 3 for over 3 years and LOVE IT! I bought the Vivoactive 5 planning on loving it as well but I do not. My biggest complaint is Garmin removed the altimeter- I no longer have this data for my running training and I no longer can participate in the hiking challenges. Shame on me, I should’ve paid closer attention to the removal of this feature but I never thought it would have been removed. This is more of a minor preference but I do not like the band- it feels more plastic and cheaply made than my previous band.

The watch has some fantastic features for all sorts of activities and does a great job of tracking your progress. I like that I can simply add my music to it and carry it along for those long runs. Battery life is very good, as well. However, the watch has one major flaw. When I select an activity while listening to music, the watch will immediately disconnect all Bluetooth devices (e.g., phone, headphones, etc.) as it tries to geolocate using GPS. Changing the setting from "All Systems" to "GPS Only" works sometimes but I have still encountered the issue. Reconnecting to Bluetooth devices takes a few minutes, which is tedious and annoying.

I really like this smart watch. It is very functional and has good build quality. I wear it all day long, and the battery does not need to be charged for several days. I also like the ability to connect to a smart phone using the Garmin app. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a versatile smart watch that can be used for a wide variety of purposes.

I bought the watch because I wanted the extended battery charge. My wife and daughter have Apple watches. They charge them every night. My Vivoactive 5 holds a charge for more than a week with normal use. It has all the features I would want in any smart watch.

I purchased it on a friends recommendation, I use it for workouts and controlling reps , not even 1 month lost 8 lbs, while adding bull, using the connect app helps me control, love it , another feature I never ever wear watches , these watches are transparent, love them
