I've the 3 weeks i wore this, i experienced more stress than normal because of the watch. would not stay connected, wouldn't keep track of steps, every other day having to pair again to phone, turn devices on and off, try all steps they list to troubleshoot. i bought this to hold myself accountable to walking and being active and to track sleep. disappointed on days i worked hard to find out watch was not keeping track for me. trying to fix situations led to stress. watch said i had some level of stress every minute it was working. nights i know i was dreaming, watch said no rem sleep

This is my fourth vivoactive fitness watch (1, 4, and now 5). As a runner and triathlete, I've used the vivoactive watch to train for four half marathons over the past three years. From triathlon training to golfing to pickleball to walking, this watch does everything I need to help me train, stay active, and make it easy to see notifications from my iPhone. Love my vivoactive 5 fitness watch!

I’ve had it for a little while now, and I don’t know why I stayed with an Apple Watch so long. There’s SO much you can do with the Garmin that you can’t with the other. There’s watch itself is gorgeous and the band is super soft and comfortable. I’m definitely impressed with this watch.

I was looking for smartwatch with good battery life. Battery last about week awesome and charges quickly. I like all feature it has such as sleep tracker , steps, add workouts , and battery of course. It has stylish design and modern features. I ordered colored watch bands on Amazon.

The battery is going down at a rate that suggests it won’t last 2 days let alone 11. Also it didn’t come with a charger. Nothing in the box even though it states there should be one. Waiting to hear from customer service. I will update if it’s a positive experience.

After using this smartwatch/fitness tracker for 6 months I am very disappointed in the product. It does not accurately measure heart rate, pretty important in training. The intensity recording is also way off as it considered repotting a plant to be intensity minutes. I have also had to reboot the unit several times because the screen would not turn on. Garmin will only exchange for a refurbished unit. I expected more from this brand. May as well buy a knock off.

The watch is comfortable to wear. It has enough free faces to pick from that I can read with out my glasses. After a full change over seven days ago I still have 47 percent battery left. The colors are bright and clear. It is responsive to touch and when you turn your wrist to veiw. The band is easy to put on and the extra flap stays down. It seems to count steps and sleep pretty accurately. It can do way more than I will use. I like the watch better than both my fitbits. The app is okay maybe I haven't figured out all it can do yet because I USED to like the fitbit app better until Google took it over. Definitely a great watch for people who want to use the basics plus. I can't say if it's great for you serious health nuts or not.

I went from an Apple Watch to this Garmin and absolutely love it! You can’t respond to text or answer calls but I never did that with the Apple anyway! The battery on this thing is also amazing! Lasts forever! I was tired of charging my Apple Watch every night! I wore this watch for about 7 days before finally putting in on the charger!

I had a VivoActive 3 and do like the VivoActrive 5 better. It has more vivid colors, it was compatible with my favorite watch face "Rails". It seems brighter but I used to use the 3 for a night light walking through a dark room, but the new one doesn't work for that. The old one I charged once a day, the new one goes about 4 days between charges. The 3 used to use 7% of batteries on walks, the 5 only uses 3%. It doesn't keep trying to change watch faces like the 3 did. Not sure I like the morning update feature. I would like to be able to set the Oxygen sensor to check levels once every 10 minutes during the day along with the night monitor.

As a full Apple product user I was skeptical to switch to Garmin. My Apple Watch wasn’t lasting during long runs so I wanted something more dependable and decided to go with Garmin. It looks nice with most of the features from Apple. It connects to my iPhone you just can’t respond to a text or answer a call which most of the time is fine cause my phone is nearby. I’m still discovering all the features this watch can do! Great price for a great watch! Glad I switched. I only have to charge the watch about every other week!
