Great battery life

I have had my watch for about 2 weeks. So far I love it. I like how it gives a great breakdown of my sleep pattern. It is pretty easy to use. There are other little things like asking me in the morning if I am ready to be up (awake) then assist me sleeping, I also like o. The screen before I actually get up it shows me what the weather is doing, like snowing, raining, sunshine…it has been fun so far!

Vivoactive 5 - LOVE IT!

I have wanted a Garmin Smartwatch for so long but was put off by the size and bulkiness. Well, Garmin has tackled that and beautifully. My vivoactive 5 is a wonderful companion to my healthy, active lifestlye. Even at age 68, I still work out 6 days a week. My vivo keeps accurate track of my activities, sleep, and Intensity Minutes. For the first few days, I wore it along with my FitBit but soon realized all these years how much Fitbit was cheating me out of steps and activity. It's just not as accurate. I have now tested the vivo against three hotel tradmills, and it is dead on accurate each time. I love that it displays my activity on the main screen and that I can check my sleep score and quality without going to the app.

Garlan vivoactive 5

It's not as user friendly like a fitbit, but keeps a good charge on it. Still trying to get to know more about it. The watch faces are clear and good. When I change the watch face it should automatically change but there is another step to do. Easier steps to change watch face. Watch bands are very hard to change, and my watch has a purple cover around it. Would love to change that and easier watch bands to change out.

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.

The VivoActive 5 put other Tracker Shame!

I bought this watch/tracker to replace my Charge 5, as it kept failing and I got tired replacing it $$$. Wow, I am glad I made the change, as Vivoactive has so many more features and a lot of data, to help me manage my sleep and fitness. I have had it for about 3 weeks, we will have to see how well it lasts. No complaints at this point.

nice smart watch

a little different than my last garmin watch, but ok, so far. the charger is not usb, it plugs into my phone to charge, different but ok I guess. I can not find the stop watch to use, yet. some of the fitness options for working out in the gym are limited. but it is a little faster. not sure if the sleep is any more accurate, it was at first but now says I don't sleep well, I feel rested, weird.

Fulfilled my expectations.

I really enjoy having this watch and highly recommend it! I was never into watches before, but since I’ve become more active, walking daily and going to the gym, this has been a great fitness tracker. The battery life is excellent; I don’t even take it off most days. I was debating between this and the Apple Watch, but having to charge a watch every day felt pointless to me. This one tracks calories, steps, and logs all my activities, which helps me stay on track with my fitness goals. It's also lightweight and has a modern design, which I really appreciate.

Glad I got this!

Really a nice fitness watch. Got this to replace a Vivosmart 4 and I really like this fitness tracker. I keep finding things it can do everyday. Works well with my phone and I get alerts to messages and other important information. The only thing my Vivosmart 4 could do that this doesn't is report stair flights walked up or down. However I don't use stairs much so it doesn't matter. It does so much I can't believe it. I am really glad I got this watch/fitness tracker.

Very useful health tracking

I've been thinking about a Garmin watch for several months and finally purchased one approximately a month ago. Took a bit of time to get used to the various features, and I'm enjoying this quite a bit. My main motivation for purchase was the health items (HRV, sleep), but the fitness functions have galvanized me to begin a regular exercise program. Overall I'm quite pleased with my purchase (sale price certainly helped); I've taken one star off because this didn't come with an adaptor for the charging cord, forcing me to hunt around for a way to charge tech watch & ultimately lead me to purchase an adaptor.

Used throughout the Day

My third Vivoactive watch. I depend on it to track my sleep quality and activity as well as alerting me to text messages and calls on my iphone. I would have rated it excellent, but I am a bit disappointed in the support for the watch. I can't seem to find out how to change the weather reading from Celsius to Farenheit.
