Having problems!!

I like the watch and the look. I am having problems finding the activity app quickly when I go to the trails!! I push the button and mess with it a long time to get GOS started.

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.

expected more

Honestly, if there is any possible ways - i will return this watch. I expected more... This is good looking watch, especially for women. Good fit on hand, but not for hike. i am disappointed...

Love it!

I replaced my 4S model with this Vivoactive 5, and love it! The screen is excellent and the notifications work well. My only nit is that when twisting my wrist the check the time, the screen lights up less than half the time. Not sure why!

Great bump up from my Garmin Venu!

I traded in my original Venu for the Vivoactive 5. It's an all around terrific upgrade; better battery life, brighter screen, and user interface is much improved.

Love it!!

I love this replacement of my original vivoactive! Screen is clear and easy to read and the battery life is so much better! I do miss the metal parts of the band but can always buy a replacement band. This band is all rubber.

Best purchase

I bought the Vivoactive5 to replace a Moto360 smartwatch. The Moto battery was dying. I get a week from the Vivo5 before I need to charge it. It's perfect for my tracking my workout at the gym and I like the fact you can customize the watch face.

My Best Smart Watch Ever

This is my third smart watch, and I am impressed with the durability and functions. I bought it to track my training leading up to my first triathlon. It has exceeded my expectations!

Vivoactive 5

Received as a gift. Activated January 18, 2025. This is my first Garmin. Adapting to the Garmin features continues. I wore another brand for nearly 10 years.

Great watch!

I bought this about a month ago. So far I am loving the features, workouts, and sleep tracker. The battery life is a major plus!!! I also like the way it looks on me as well!
