Vivoactive 5

Received as a gift. I am still learning all the functions. I love the battery life. It doesn't transfer information to an app I use and that is disappointing. Wifi distance is limited. You have to have phone in order to be sure to stay connected.

Great Features!

It was a gift, and I am so happy to have it... it works perfectly fine, has a lot of sports that you can use for, and I also love the appearance and how to fit me!

Decent watch

Have had my garmin for about a month now and can say I am fairly happy with it but there are some issues that could be fixed, for example the connect app is very buggy and I can’t use Apple Music on it which sucks which is understandable

Only for the young.

I was given this watch as a gift. I’m over 65 years old. I wanted it more for keeping track of my steps. There are no directions on how to use the watch. I go on you tube and the videos don’t show step by step instructions.

Beautiful display and love features

I really love this watch--it's ease of use and features. The array of displays are amazing! I thought that the battery life was longer, however. I was told it would last 8 days, but I'm only seeing it's lasting 4-5 days. That is disappointing.

Love the battery life!

I wanted to switch from my Apple Watch to something new and I have no regrets on my Vivoactive 5! It does all of the things I want it too and it has so many wellness features.

Vivoactive 5

It is a fine watch. Far more than I will ever use for sure. It meets my needs at 70+years. Lightweight and handsome. Just like I was. Could be a little more user friendly regarding watch face creation.

Absolute garbage

Absolute garbage wristwatch. Battary doesn't last more than few days. Literally never stays connected to the phone when it needs to. Have to reconnect it every day just to see simple information on it. Worst money spent ever.

Best wearable

Been a bout a month I’ve used whoop and Fitbit watches before but this is something else in the best way. Perfect for my training and doesn’t get in the way.

Better Than Apple!!

I was so hesitant to go from Apple to garmin and it definitely has been one of the best decisions ever!!! The battery life is amazing! I don’t recall when I last charged it. It tracks my workouts and it sinks to my Strava and Nike running app!!
