Great watch for active and everyday use

I bought this watch to replace another brand smart watch. I have very pleased with the results and features from Garmin. The features this watch provides is top notch. The battery life is exceptional!!

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.

Love my new Vivoactive 5

I had been a long-time fitbit user but recently purchased the vivoactive 5. I am very happy with this smartwatch and the Garmin ecosystem. Wish I had switched sooner!

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 Watch

I've had a number of running/fitness watches (Garmin, Coros, Polar). The Vivoactive 5 is my favorite. Very lightweight but great features. It does everything I need for running, pool swimming, elliptical, weights, and walking/hiking. Very pleased.

Great features and battery life

My husband got me this for Xmas - I went from a Samsung galaxy watch to this Garmin and I love it! The battery life is awesome, I was charging my Samsung daily. I love the customizable watch faces, workout options, and badges/challenges.

decent

Its a great watch for the price. My only complaint is how hard it is too understand. I've had it for almost a week and still need to search how to figure something out on the watch.

I like the nice clean design

BUT, it's not intuitive. I can't get to features I want and their I'd no giving manual or instructions. Instructions I be do find on the Web seem to be different models

Very Pleased!

After spending a lot of time reviewing different fitness tracking watches, I decided on the Vivoactive. I've been very happy with the performance of the different features and measurements.

Perfect daily exercise watch

Fit, finish, and function are top tier. My wife wears this daily and the long battery is a great convenience! Water proof and very durable. Fitness and daily movement tracking work great!
