Vivoactive Series Watch

I recently upgraded to the Vivoactive 5 watch. This is the third Vivoactive watch I have owned over the past number of years. The other two watch still are functional, however, like most new models of anything, there are increased functionality. The watch works and looks great and has way more functions than I will use, but it has the ones that I use most often.

Better than fitbit

Though shipping was far slower than I would have liked, the product is better than what I was using. I had used Fitbits for years, but was becoming disenchanted with the app and the battery life. This Garmin has all the perks that I was used to and then some. I love the vibrating alarm for waking up in the morning, it's a gentle nudge. Also scratch-resistant, which I greatly appreciate. The battery life is wonderful.

Awesome Features!

I received this for a gift and couldn't be happier. I get all the information I need for my health and fitness. The information is accurate and up to date. I also like the round and easy to read size of the watch. The charge lasts longer, and when it needs charging, it's fast.

Everything I need right on my wrist

My boyfriend got this for me for Christmas, and it’s everything I need as a runner, HR, Calories, pacing, VO2 max, etc!! So many features! And it’s really easy to understand real quick! I didn’t even have to really read the manual to get it. I love it !

Great all around smart watch

I got this watch as a replacement for my Garmin Forager(which I loved but, needed a upgraded model). My husband chose Garmin's Vivoactive 5 for me because, I was currently jogging/training for 5k and the 11 day battery life before it needing to be recharged. This watch was a great choice! Because of the 11 day charge I sleep with in on and have got some great insight into my sleep. Let's me know how hard to train. When to train. Of I need my or less sleep. I'm still loving and learning daily my with Garmin Vivoactive 5! If your in the market for a new smart watch this one shouldn't be overlooked.

More than expected

I have had the Vivoactive 5 a few weeks now and it is more than what I thought it would be. I wanted something for keeping track of my pulse and O2 level during the day and my workouts, This watch does that very accurately and is easily used and it is doing more. Still learning

Overall cool

I bought this a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty nice watch, has cool features and is comfortable to wear. The biggest flaw is that it constantly disconnects/connects to my phone. I could have my phone just in my pocket, or on my nightstand next to the bed and it still randomly disconnects/connets.

Great all around fitness watch

The vivoactive 5 is lightweight and comfortable. It compliments my triathlete training along with my Garmin Edge. It has a variety of fitness activities and it is very customizable. No issues wearing it while sleeping. I've gone 5 full days of training and had ~10% battery life. There isn't an (other ecosystems) voice assistant, get the Venu 2 or 2S for that, but not an issue for me.

Misses first 2 hours of sleep.

Fitness stats very interesting. Body battery, etc. Auto sleep tracking misses first 1 - 3 hours of sleep. I do wake up frequently. I had used a Fitbit Versa 2 whose auto sleep tracking also missed sleep, but let me enter sleep start time and wake up time. Display is great. Lots of on watch stats. Great battery life. 10 days.

I must have received a dud

The watch was in a different language. I went online to see how to change the language. In correcting the language I must have triggered a Garmin video that was in a loop that prevented any other actions being done. It wouldn’t power off, reset or go back to a watch face even once the battery ran out and then brought back to life. I returned it to where I bought it and am waiting for a replacement Vivoactive 5. Unfortunately I will not be able to get the beautiful orchid color I wanted.
