Super wonderful product!! I am so satisfied with all the features and the quality is amazing. My favorite feature is that the battery life is great as well as the fact that it tracks how much weight I lift. Would definitely recommend if you are into weightlifting and exercise.

Bought 4 weeks ago. Very impressed , easy to use but worth taking tutorials as I am still discovering new features. Previously had the whoop on a trial but did miss the watch face ( didn't miss the annual subscription). Battery life is great. Logging strength based activities is a little tricky but with practice all ok.

I am a 79 year old competitive cyclist and purchased the Vivoactive 5 to track my fitness and workouts from my Edge 540 through Garmin Connect. This has been one of the best investments I have made. Because of the 24/7 health data monitoring I was able to identify a health issue which could have been serious. The ability to observe the trends in my health data following cycling workouts and recovery allowed me to identify that I was experiencing periods of AFib. Because of this I was able to take early actions to prevent this from becoming more serious. I really appreciate the integration of Garmin devices through Garmin Connect.

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!

After about 4 years I replaced my (original) Garmin Venu with this Garmin Vivoactive 5. I was a little sceptical because this watch was quite a bit less expensive, and I was hoping that it would like it as much as the Venu. I wanted mainly a large heart rate display during activity, an alarm, and sleep monitoring. After I personalizing the Vivoactive I couldn't be happier! I was able to download my spotify playlists onto it and do not need my phone during my workouts anymore. It is slightly thinner than the Venu and makes it more comfortable wearing it during sleep. The display looks great, and the watch has all the features I wanted and exceeded my expectations.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago and I am glad I did. I owned a Garmin before. I had it several years and it stopped working. I tried a cheaper brand which was awful, so I switched back to Garmin. I like that it has its own GPS and doesn't need to connect to my phone during my workout. I like that the face is big enough to show distance, pace, heart rate and over all time at one glance. No need to switch back and forth between faces.

There's a code I can hardly read and is even harder to enter in order to log into some of the features. The watch face is hard to read, and the date isn't on the main face. My last watch was a forerunner, and I loved it, but the band broke in a way that can't be fixed.

I have a Vivoactive 4 and felt the Vivoactive 5 would be an upgrade with a longer lasting battery. I went skiing with it the first day and saw that it did not keep track of runs. On further investigation I found out it does not have an altimeter like the 4 has so it is useless to me for skiing and biking. I returned it. In the future I would recommend to Garmin that when you release an updated model you don't remove key features.

the watch itself is okay. i got it for my son who loves tracking his steps. im just disappointed in Sams for advertising this as a 'Tech Savings' at the start of the month yet now it is on sale for $20 less than I paid for it %26 I only got it a week ago. if it wasnt a birthday gift, i would have returned it %26 repurchased it to get my $20 back.

I have had several Garmin watches, vivo active 4, Swim 1, 2, several triathlon watches and have gifted other to my friends and family members. Garmin is always great quality and the extra's keep going up. I was using the Vivoactive 4 to this and the battery was starting to drain down so I jumped up and bought the next line up and am amazed how much better it is then what I had! Everything is so quick, great battery life, heart rate never stops. I am currently recovering from a severe car accident and it is great to share the information with my PT trainers, doctors, and just to keep track of my recovery and my improvement. The watch is perfect for my training schedule and connects to my phone and computer with ease! I can't say how pleased I am and how I'm a Garmin client for life!
