Bought this about a month back, when my VivoActiv 3 finally died. I had found that one mildly useful, but never got into beyond the basics. The 5 is so much better, better display, better usability, everything I had imagined a smart watch "should" be. So, I like it a lot.

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!

I have been wearing a vivo since the 3, and was excited to get this “upgrade” to a 5. The bright display is great, yep. The loss of the altimeter is not great, however, and unfortunately I have returned the watch. It’s not in the 6 either. The “fix” I was given was that I could view the altitude after the activity in the app, however elevation is something I check during the activity, not after. Huge bummer, Garmin.

I absolutely love it! I went from having an Apple Watch that the battery didn’t last past 8hrs to this. I am a very active person and never took it off not even to sleep and the battery lasts 6 days! If you’re thinking about it do it! If you have an Apple Watch it’s definitely a learning curve to learn how to track workouts and sleep but it’s worth every penny.

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.

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 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.

I needed this and I LOVE IT

I am so impressed with this watch!! Well worth the money.

It is everything that was advertised
