I am overall pleased with the vívoactive5 except for the GPS tracking system. Sometimes when I am running. my heart out it will announce that I am going at a much slower pace. I called Garmin about this and they tried updating and resetting. But it is doing the same things.

I bought my Garmin when Fitbit discontinued their web interface. I have RA which makes it difficult for me to access features on my phone. I also have issues with my eyesight, so accessing my data on a computer is helpful. I find the features extremely helpful in monitoring my health. I find the web access easy to read and use. The watch face is a little large, but other than that, I couldn't be happier.

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

I received the Vivoactive5 as a gift. Charging the phone was easy. Getting music downloaded on the phone was a challenge but got all my songs loaded. Downloading the watch face I liked proved challenging also. The watch face disappears around 11 pm and I can not get it back until after 6 am. There is no instructions on how to get it to stay on 24/7. The written instructions are not easy to follow and some instructions do not work at all.

I own 2 other Garmin watches, but purchased the vivoactive because as an older active person I could not read the data on the watch face easily due to poor contrast (for my eyesight). This watch has great features and is easy to read with the data contrast on the face. I wish it would go longer than 4 days between charges, but I love the watch!

I have had my vivoactive watch for 3 weeks now and I love it. It gives me all of the information that I need and more. It also helps me understand what the information means in regards to my body and how well it functions. There are so many clock faces to choose from. I pick out a new one every day.

I purchased the Vívoactive 5 to replace my Vívoactive 4s. The display capabilities of the new watch are spot on and have exceeded some of the past features. It’s nice to be able to scroll through your features. I like the sleep report and end of the day report too. However, I do miss a few features like the auto start for activities and the pause for time while I was engaging in activities. I was also disappointed that I had a new charging cable. I always like to have a backup, but I don’t want to have to purchase yet another charging cord.

I've oowned the Vivoactive 3 & 4 and really liked them, especially the Vivoactive 4. I am a 76 year old female, very active, walking 15K to 20K steps every day. The problem I have with the Vivoactive 5 is the font size of the information.. Even set at the largest font size it's barely readable with my 76 year old eyes without using glasses. The Vivoactive 3 & 4 had individual readouts for steps, floors, heartbeat, etc. and was very easy to read without reading glasses. Also the Vivoactive 4 had "Floors" which I always used with the steps and I averaged 15+ floors everyday (I live in a mountain area). But, bottom line, the Vivoactive 5 is usable and is loaded with features I care nothing about with a readout that's marginal in font size but, it tracks steps well.

I love this watch! It really is helping me on my fitness and strengthening journey. I am disabled, and this helps me stay on track and build my strength without injuring myself. It helps keep me motivated, and I love being able to see my progress. Thank you, Garmin! :) :)

I have worn it for one week, not at night. I wear it all day, to work and doing chores on a farm. It is comfortable and easy to read. I love seeing my steps, heart rate, body battery, and my texts/calls. I hope to learn/use so much more in the upcoming weeks! As the rain stops I plan to use it hiking/running - can't wait!
