Garmin

I needed to upgrade after my old first model vivoactive finally cracked. I’m enjoying the new features on this newer model and the color display screen.

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.

This watch is very comfortable and is just the right size. If you have smaller wrists, this watch will be a perfect fit. Still packs a lot of features for a smaller watch, too. Charges super fast and battery last a long time.

Frustrating

I’m disappointed that I can’t connect it to Spotify and/or AirPods. It should be possible right? I’ve spent too much time in trying to connect it with no results. I will not buy it again.

Nice watch but major flaw: Heartbeat rate not accu

I loved the watch at first. A wide range of features but unfortunately I found out that the heartbeat rate monitor was almost 30 beats per second lower than the actual. The actual was validated by 2 other instruments, watch and treadmill monitor.

Very good product

I bought 2 months ago, it’s helping me a lot with my sleep, my running… the only thing is that the battery is not working good, my watch dies with 5 days… but its a very good product.

Underrated Watch in the Garmin Lineup!

This watch is great! I’m a runner, so that primarily what I use this watch for. I love it so far, and I think I’m permanently converted to Garmin now.

Comfy and functional

This watch is comfortable to wear for all my activities and the app has lots of useful features including training plans and ways to track my overall wellbeing. I also love the color!

Still getting used to it

I've had the Vivoactive 3, and this is a great improvement. The display graphics are much better and it tracks a lot more information. Still, I'm a little disappointed that the 5 DOESN'T keep track of the number of flights of stairs climbed.
