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.

Received this as a birthday gift and upgrade from my vivoactive 4, which I had for about 2 years. Seems to offer some upgraded features but has so far been difficult to use them. Even after reading manuals and spending hours tinkering…hard to change the watch face, hard to access music, ect…I miss my old watch. This watch does have a better feel on my wrist. It was a gift, so I will keep it. If I bought it myself, I would have returned it.

I love this watch! It really is helping me on my fitness and strengthening journey. I am disabled, and this helps me stay on track and build my strength without injuring myself. It helps keep me motivated, and I love being able to see my progress. Thank you, Garmin! :) :)

I got this watch as a replacement for my 4S that broke. This newer version has more features and a better interface (I think). However, things I don't like are the top button is hard to push sometimes to get the menu to come up and it's glitchy every once in a while for no reason. I couldn't sleep with my 4S because of the bright blinking sensor lights, but with the new 5 the sensor lights on the bottom are hardly noticeable. Overall I do like it.

I purchased the vivoactive 5 about a month ago. As a cyclist preparing for competitive events, I wanted to record all my health and fitness parameters necessary to track my performance improvements. It has given me everything I was looking for and even gave me a bonus with the capability to use it for golf.

I bought this three weeks ago and thought it looked great. I like the functionality of the watch and the look, for a smart watch it looks great. It's accurate and easy to setup. The only thing I didn't like was the strap which I changed straight away. Otherwise another great product from Garmin.

Disconnects from Garmin connect for no reason, tough to reconnect. Garmin golf app is trash, and Garmin makes their app proprietary, thus not being able to pair with far superior apps like 18 birdies. Constantly have to reconnect to Garmin golf app for watch to find a course you've played multiple times. Satellite readings are often off by 15 yards or more, when compared to other apps and, oddly, my friends Garmin watch. Bizarre. So, yah... just buy an android and pair it to a better golf app.

I bought this last month as my sisters each had one. I am so glad I switched from the Galaxy 6. This battery lasts so much longer. Sometimes I even forget where I plugged in the charger as it doesn't require charging every 12 hours. I love all the features and how my sisters and I can challenge one another. Great great great!!!

I’ve had this watch for about 3 weeks and it’s a HUGE upgrade from the Suunto watch I had been using previously. It’s intuitively designed, light (some reviewers have described it as “cheap” feeling, but I see this as a feature, not a bug), and it’s quite responsive to activity. I barely notice it when it’s on and it seems to track sleep and activity quite well. I gave it a 9 strictly because it doesn’t seem to hang too well in the water, and I’d love to see a surf activity added, but it’s not a deal breaker. Also, the strength training mode is a little wonky, but there are workarounds for that. Overall, great experience so far, and I’m definitely happy I opted for this low profile, fitness focused watch in place of an Apple Watch. If you’re looking for something more triathlon or sport focused I’d upgrade to one of Garmin’s more premium watches but for daily wear I’m very happy with it!

I bought this watch a few weeks ago, and am very happy with it. It is very stylish and comfortable, and has so many features that I have yet to discover! It records my workouts well;h although it records treadmill steps accurately only- definitely doesn’t add up the miles correctly- I guess I get that with GPS. Also, I have to walk around outside first to find the GPS before starting an indoor treadmill workout. Those “issues” aren’t worth lowering my rating. I previously had a Vivomove HR, which I loved, but the screen became unreadable after 4 years. I think the Amoled screen will be better, and all the features are awesome. Overall, a really great watch!
