Awesome battery.

I love my Garmin Vivoactive 5, but have ONE complaint. Why does it not have hiking under "Activities" on the watch? I have to use "walking" but hiking is more strenuous. I've tried to find hiking to no avail.

Vivo5

I bought this about 6 weeks ago. So far I think it is more accurate than my Apple Watch. However I was upgrading from my Venu2S and there are features I miss but so far I like it. I’m not in love yet like I was with my venu2s

Great watch with info

I received this watch as a Christmas gift. Was hesitate at first but I enjoy wearing it. I like that I can see so much information on it. Don't understand some of the catagories yet but like seeing my body battery the most.

Great look and feel

I like the watch. I only wish it were easier to use for my workouts. I lift and do cardio during the same workout, and it is a pain to find a setting.

Just Right

Have had this watch for about 3 weeks and it has performed as expected. Keeps track of my steps and other activities. I got this watch because it had an incident detector. I walk alone and it gives me some peace of mind.

Continually Disconnects

I was fairly happy with my VA5 for several months. However, now it Disconnects several times per day. Reconnecting requires running through the full setup.

Not bad.

I dropped my very old Apple watch and broke it and my daughter had this watch she did use. Took me a bit to warm up to it but I am pleased with it now.

Confusing

I am still having difficulty figuring out how to read activities, steps and exercise. And I don't know how to list new activities like Yoga, Chair Yoga and Spinning.

Great watch, but. . .

I've had the Vivoactive 5 for about a month. I keeps great stats with your health and exercise programs. However the watch doesn't stay connected with my phone. I have to reconnect at least 2-3 times a week.
