My first Vivoactive 5 was great! Unfortunately I broke the screen and Garmin offered me a discounted replacement if I sent the old one back. The replacement one is complete garbage and won’t stay connected to my phone. I think it may have been a refurbished watch with existing issues.

This watch was perfect for what I was looking for out of a fitness tracker. The device can record my runs, and bike rides, while also showing my my HR live which is why I like it the most. The sleep seems to be accurate which is helpful. Overall very good fitness tracker. The only negative I would have regarding the device would be the charging cord. I have had to replace the cord 2 times which is a inconvenience, although the battery does last long which offsets that.

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.

I'm not a runner but I have started walking and exercising for my health. I never felt like my Apple Watch tracked my watches properly so after a lot of research, I decided to give Garmin a try. I absolutely LOVE it! I love that it gives me a bigger picture of my health, tracks my sleep, and the battery life is AMAZING! I

I’ve had my watch for three weeks and love it. I went away from Apple Watch because I hate the battery life and just wanted something more geared towards fitness/health. I had a garmin years ago and wanted to get another. I went with the viviactive 5 because it’s reasonably priced, and if it wasn’t the watch for me I wouldn’t be out a ton of money. This watch is phenomenal if you’re new to Garmin or aren’t looking to spend a chunk of change. I would go with the vivoactive 6 though if I could have a do over simply because it’s a newer version.

I bought this to replace my dying Fitbit & definitely made the right choice. There are so many more features than I had with my Fitbit. I really like the recovery mode feature, along with the stress tracking feature. I highly recommend if you are in the market for a Smartwatch/Fitness tracker.

I got this for Christmas and have been using it every day. It's very good for workouts and tracking heart rate and steps. But I don't think it tracks sleep well. Also the screen now has a cracked in it and I have not dropped it or damaged it. I would probably not get this model again

I bought this watch a month ago and still getting used to it. It is not intuitive. I tried to set up the swim app to adjust for my water aerobics class and it does not work. The sleep app does work well as well as the calories burned, heart rate, and steps. The best feature is the battery life. It can go a full 5-6 days without need of recharging

I bought my watch 2 weeks ago & has all the features that I need. I love the ease of mapping my activities & seeing my daily activities like hours slept, body battery/recovery, steps & adding my hydration. I appreciate the reminders to move! This is a very fun watch.

I had a Vivoactive 3 the past few years. I liked that product but it finally stopped working and the battery life was down to less than 12 hours. So I purchased a new Vivoactive 5 because it seemed to have all the same features but better battery and display. I have been very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this watch. I use most of the activity features as well as the general health monitoring. Works great!
