I absolutely love this Vivoactive 5. The battery lasts for two weeks before needing a charge.

Overall, this is a good watch. By far, the best feature is the battery life. If I don't do any activities, I can get over a week without having to recharge. My wife has an iWatch and she can't even get through the whole day

Absolutely love my new Vivoactive 5! Has everything i need to stay on top of my health goals! I love the big screen so easy to see!!! Would definitely recommend!

I bought this about a month ago, I love it. The available watch faces are all great and I find all the additional bio metrics this watch tracks super interesting!

The watch looks nice and it's not bulky. It's very similar to the Apple watch just that you can't answer text on the watch. The battery goes low if you are getting all ur notifications. If you're getting it for the training feature it only goes up to a half marathon, so if you're doing a marathon it won't give you suggestions.

I bought the Vivo Active 5 as an early Christmas gift to myself and have really enjoyed it so far. I had been working on lifestyle improvements for about 6 months prior to buying the watch and the information it gives me has really helped me keep my fitness and nutrition goals in mind and on track for the most part. Once I tailored the watch to my personal preferences I have been really pleased with the tracking and review system. I like the periodic motivational notes and reminders. The nudges to move are not too intrusive and are helpful reminders to get up and move if you are like me and sit for long periods of time for work. It has also been interesting to track my physiological information as I process stressful experiences psychologically. Super cool! I bought the vivoactive 5 instead of 6 because of the reviews on them and the fact that the vivoactive 5 watch does not need to contact "the Mothership", keeping the tracking information private, which was particularly relevant for me. The choice to connect to the app on my phone remains mine alone and does not force me to connect to be able to use the features of the watch. I would recommend this to anyone who is curious about their basic sleep, exercise, HRV, breathing, etc. I imagine focused athletes would require something a little more detailed. I may upgrade in the future!

i bought mine a month ago. At 79 years of age at first I felt overwhelmed. Can I get this device to even tell time? I had a Fitbit before. One shower ended its life. At least it died clean. it had been so long since I had purchsed a smart watch I was shocked to the prices had increased so much. Anyway I found this on sale on the Garmin website and bought it. The battery life has surprised me. It is many days. I use it for my chair cardio workouts and hikes. So, I probably have not put this watch through its paces. I also use it for text messages and Ring Camera alerts, On my old watch I had to speed read before the text disappeared forever. On my new Garmin they are saved until I delete. I even get pictures of the transgressor of my Ring coverage, So I am very happy with this watch. I have since bought a plastic screen protector and little plugs for the charging port. Two things I have found odd. #1 the charging cable. The connection end to the charging brick requires an Apple type charger. So I have to use my wife's Ipad charger. #2 it brings a smile to me when I am active and it tells me to get active. Last night I was out walking and it told me to get active. It is not as smart as I thought it was. Or, maybe I am not smart enough to determine how to turn off that feature. Time will tell. And speaking of time, I am glad it tells time too. Regards,

Great watch for someone like me who appreciates the simple aesthetic and design but also wants a watch that accurately tracks mileage. I switched to this watch from an Apple Watch and it's safe to say I'm never going back. The numbers and data this watch collects seems very accurate and has a seem less connection to strava. This is great for a runner who wants the stats but not great for someone who wants to know every little thing going on in their body.

I've been wearing for a month & have been learning something new everyday. Battery life is the best feature as it replaced my much loved Viactve 3 which could no longer hold a charge long enough to complete 4 hour activity. Sleep score/coach & reminders to get active are most useful in addition to body battery score.
