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.

Great upgrade!

Bought this when my Vivoactive 4s broke (since been replaced by Garmin). I love my V5 but it's missing the altimeter to count floors climbed. Why remove that feature?? Pretty annoying tbh, but otherwise it's been great.

Really nice watch.

I have had the watch for a month, but am a long time user of Vivosmart 3 and 4. This unit is a big improvement. It is sleek, easy to use and does everything (and more) I need!

Biofeedback

I am loving all the features this has to offer. The steps can be a little off if I use my arms a lot but otherwise the stats are great. I love tracking my sleep and the GPS feature is fun to track my dog walks.

Great Features

This model has some bells and whistles but I mainly wanted the health and fitness features. The I phone app is very detailed and I have more trust in Garmin than any of the other well known competitors.

So far, so good!

I was using a forerunner 245. The hr sensor in this watch seems so much more accurate! I've had problems with the charging cable on the 245. This charges the same way...I hope it's not a problem!

Not Completely Satisfied

I love the look and colors of the vivioactive 5, but the colors on the watch face keep turning off without me touching everything. Also is not easy to get back to the face after you have opened different applications.

Don’t know how I went without

I’ve used a Fitbit for 3+ years and was hesitant to make the change to garmin. I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! It’s so much more accurate and the info/statistic it gives is great! You won’t regret picking this watch.

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!

Great features but disappointed in durability

Love the features of this watch but very disappointed to that the edge of the screen had a crack in less than a week. It's not for me if it's not durable for everyday activities. I've worn Fitbit since 2018 and have never had a screen crack.
