I’ve been using this watch for about a month and it’s still not properly tracking my sleep. I figured it wasn't accurate because I just started using it and it needed time to acclimate to my body but here we are a month later and it’s still inaccurate by a long shot. I was in bed reading for two hours and chatting here and there with my partner. I wake up this morning to check my sleep score and it recorded those two hours as deep sleep and gave me a high score for great sleep when in reality, I didn’t get a minute of deep sleep and am exhausted today since I slept so poorly. It makes me wonder which other features are wrong that can’t be so easily measured. I’ll be returning.

I looked at every possible smart watch I could and I narrowed it down to Garmin. I did feel a little overwhelmed with all the different options. I know you want to hit a larger market, but I think you could really benefit from lowering the number of models you offer. It makes it a little confusing. Especially, for new garmin users. I do love the vívoactive 5, but I wish the whole face was metal, instead of plastic. I get the appeal of it being more light weight though. I absolutely love the battery life. Love all the features. I wish that it was a little easier to use the weight training feature. It works fairly well with my iPhone. I have type 2 and the Dexcom feature is cool. It doesn’t work sometimes, but I think once the bugs are worked out it will only get better. Overall, I love this watch. 10/10 will buy Garmin again.

I really do love the Garmin- this is my fourth Garmin. Unfortunately, the rechargeable battery and the special charging plug make for a problem. I'm never in the same place as the proprietary charger when it dies, so I walk around with a dead device on my wrist a fair anoint of time. Please - if this is supposed to be a seriously helpful tracker, put the long-lasting nicad back in the next round. Throwing away a tiny batt twice a year is better than having a device that works part time.

Previously had the Vivoactive 4s for about 4 years. It was time for an upgrade due to low battery life. Overall I am happy but was very disappointed that there was no mention of no longer being able to track elevation in the 5. Something that should have been mentioned in the details. This may be a detail that makes or breaks it for runners. I might have changed to the Venu or another option had I known. I like the updates from the 4. Easier touch screen options. Seems to be a bit more fragile than the 4.

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

My main goal for this watch was to track sleep, recovery, runs, bikes, and cardio workouts. It does the trick although I am still trying to figure out how to track my strength work outs. I do group classes, but the watch seems to be set up in a way that doesn't allow me just to have a general overview of a strength workout. The battery life is also pretty good - I charge it maybe once every 7-9 days. And it fully charges within 30 mins. One area I would like to see improvement is the Women's health section. It would be great to be able to track that.

It doesn’t seem as though my watch is calculating correctly. In one instance my watch said my “body battery” was 90%, just two hours later on my day off, it says -1%. Also even though I turned off multiple notifications from my phone, I am still getting notifications on my watch. Great features just not sure they are working correctly.

I got tired of my Samsung smart watch needing to be charged every day, and sometimes not lasting through the day. I loved being able to track my rides and walks, sleep et cetera, but always in fear of the battery giving out. So I looked to Garmin. I haven't quite gotten the 11 days battery, that is really just in smart phone mode. But I do get multiple days with this one, I've used it for sleep tracking, heart rate when I've forgotten my chest strap, music, et cetera. Some of those things drain the battery faster, but it still holds up much better than my Samsung. It is not as bilgy as the Samsung, but it is a nice looking sporty watch. The band is super comfortable, the watch is really lite. It has a lot of features, and it took some getting used to, as the setup is different from the previous watches I had.

I LOVE the Garmin vivoactive 5, it's a great device. Way better than the Fitbit, which keep being defective immediately after the 1 year manufacturer warranty expired. But I developed a TERRIBLE rash after wearing it relatively consistently. Please improve this issue because the device is a winner.

Great beginner watch for those becoming more active. Great way to track workouts, steps, sleep, hydration etc. As a novice runner, Garmin coach helped me learn about running and kept me on track. As I ran more, I needed to upgrade to the Forerunner as it has more specific features for running. This is a great product overall.
