I am a 13 year long Fitbit user and I don’t like what Google has done and they are stopping production. Looking for a new watch I decided to get the Vivoactive 5. I am loving all of the content in the app. I love the GPS on my wrist for walks. It took a second to get used to but I am so glad I chose Gramin over the other options. I am still getting 7 days of battery life (which was very important to me). I have the sleep functions (which I use as a tool since I work nights). If you are looking for a new go to watch after Fitbit flutters into the wind, I highly recommended a Garmin. Plus this watch is also comfortable to wear. Thrilled with my choice.

I bought the VivoActive 5 about a month ago after wearing a VivoActive 3 for several years. The brighter, sharper display is amazing. I also like the much longer battery life. I don’t use for cycling since I have a Garmin bike computer. I will use for kayaking but the local lakes have about a foot of ice at the moment. For us northerners, it would be nice to have a snow shoveling activity but I suppose I could use hike. I use the “Glance” watch face which shows all the numbers I am interested in.

I’ve been using this for almost a month and no complaints here! Love the look (round face) over my previous watch for sure. Main reason for switching was for tracking my workouts plus more. Does everything my previous watch did and price point is definitely better. In love and won’t go back!!

Had it a while, but just got into using it. LOVE the amoled display. . so clear. Love the Manual is easy to understand. It does everything I need it to do and more. I really appreciated the out of warranty exchange program. Garmin products and customer service are second to none.

I got this as a Christmas gift from my Parents. Ive been wanting this watch for a while now, and ill say its worth the money. Battery life is amazing, the features for the workouts are incredible, and its very comfortable and lightweight. sometimes i forget that im even wearing it LOL. 10/10 Love it.

There are parts of this device that I LOVE, like the easy to use buttons and easy to read face. However, I do NOT like the body battery or the way they score my sleep. My old watch told me I was getting lots of deep and REM sleep, and I always feel rested. This watch always tells me I had poor/non-restorative sleep. Then during the day, even when I'm just having a relaxing, nice day, it tells me it was a STRESSFUL day. It is full of all these spiky orange lines that show how stressed I am. I tell you - it's the device that is stressing me out! It's been about 3 weeks, so I was HOPING it would adjust to my own body rhythms, but it has not. It could be because I have fibromyalgia and that affects my heart rhythm. Otherwise, I'm really healthy. Basically, if you are healthy, with no problems, it's a great watch/fitness tracker. I like all the other features.

I only had the watch for 2-3 days... but already experienced some random reboots/restarts while browsing the body battery graph... and I also got 2 ugly "bricked device" kind of experiences. The watch doesn't turn on on gesture or button, screen is black and it needs recharging via cable or hard reset to get back to life... and unfortunately loses all graph data for body battery, stress, heart rate... The solution at the moment might be the auto-lock function. Somehow the watch activates to easily... Why is not a double tap feature and it only requires a 1tap to wake up ? Hopefully this could be solved via a software update. This is such a nice watch... Thanks!

I absolutely love this watch! I got mine on Monday and ordered my husband one Tuesday. Great battery life, lightweight but built very well, fitness, health tracking, and some bells and whistles. You can even respond to texts as it will pull up a keyboard. I previously had another brand and loved it, but love this one even more. You can choose different clock faces (large selection) right from your watch. The app is great too!

Just bought mine and I think the fitness capabilities are so cool! That said it is way too hard to download music, and the user interface is very difficult. You have to download the garmin app, then a seperate garmin app, to enjoy the capabilities. No reason they need two seperate apps. I’d give this a 3/5 but it is so cute 4/5.

I love my vivoactive. I got it to really capture my calories burned while at work and to keep better track of my workouts. It’s easy to use and navigate. The Spotify app always works. I love that you can also personalize the watch face. I’m so glad I made the switch from the Apple Watch.
