Nice piece of technology!

Recommended by my son, who also has one. Have owned for about three weeks. Love it! Gives you more and better information than my previous fitness watch.

Like it, a learning curve

I am two weeks in with my Garmin. The last several years, I had an Apple Watch and I found that the tracking was just inaccurate. I like the Garmin with all the health features, but it does take a while to learn where everything is.

Love my new Vivoactive 5

I had been a long-time fitbit user but recently purchased the vivoactive 5. I am very happy with this smartwatch and the Garmin ecosystem. Wish I had switched sooner!

Love this watch

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, so far loving it. The battery life is amazing; coming from an Apple watch which I had to charge every night. I am still learning the features but so far so good.

Love my new watch.

Received as a Father’s Day gift. Really has been motivational upping my activity level after hip replacement surgery. Only suggestion is they need to add a rucking option under activities.

Great watch

Very happy with my new Vivoactive 5. Easy to set up, choose a customized watch face, so I am wearing it as my everyday watch and not just for fitness as I previously planned. And Garmin battery life is so much better than Apple Watch.

More than just a watch!

I’m absolutely over the moon with my vivoactive 5. It’s made getting back in shape legitimately fun. The amount of data that can be gleaned is incredible. It’s made it incredibly easier to stay on track, and not fall off my exercise routines

Long Learning Curve

Love it! But I am still learning how to use it. Need to recharge every three days. I've transitioned to partial recharging every other day or whenever convenient, like when showering at home.

You need video lessons for directions

Do you have a website showing us how to use the watch? I do not do well at all with your printout. I bought it so I could record my oxygen level when I sleep and during the day. I cannot figure it out.

Tracks Workout Amazingly

I used to be a Whoop user and it stopped tracking my workouts... once I moved to Garmin I was incredibly impressed with the way it tracked my workouts, to the T!
