This is my second Garmin watch, but the vivoactive has exceeded all my expectations. I haven't begun to really explore all the functionality, I inputted the basic and the watch did the rest, it put me to bed and wakes me up. A great piece of technology...

There's a code I can hardly read and is even harder to enter in order to log into some of the features. The watch face is hard to read, and the date isn't on the main face. My last watch was a forerunner, and I loved it, but the band broke in a way that can't be fixed.

Super wonderful product!! I am so satisfied with all the features and the quality is amazing. My favorite feature is that the battery life is great as well as the fact that it tracks how much weight I lift. Would definitely recommend if you are into weightlifting and exercise.

Still learning how to operate. Need to call in for assistance as rolling the wrist doesn't always awake the screen. Password in watch is cumbersome, want to remove it, will need to call for help as well. Works well, learning curve greater than previous Vivosmart 4.

Bought 4 weeks ago. Very impressed , easy to use but worth taking tutorials as I am still discovering new features. Previously had the whoop on a trial but did miss the watch face ( didn't miss the annual subscription). Battery life is great. Logging strength based activities is a little tricky but with practice all ok.

I had my Garmin watch for almost 3 weeks now and I am impressed with the features on it and I am also impressed with how long the battery lasts before I have to charge it again. I have an Apple Watch and I had it for a few years and I would need to charge it maybe twice in the same day. I still will continue to use my Apple Watch so that I can track all of my activity on that watch and of course now on my Garmin watch

I have had several Garmin watches, vivo active 4, Swim 1, 2, several triathlon watches and have gifted other to my friends and family members. Garmin is always great quality and the extra's keep going up. I was using the Vivoactive 4 to this and the battery was starting to drain down so I jumped up and bought the next line up and am amazed how much better it is then what I had! Everything is so quick, great battery life, heart rate never stops. I am currently recovering from a severe car accident and it is great to share the information with my PT trainers, doctors, and just to keep track of my recovery and my improvement. The watch is perfect for my training schedule and connects to my phone and computer with ease! I can't say how pleased I am and how I'm a Garmin client for life!

I had a VivoActive 3 and do like the VivoActrive 5 better. It has more vivid colors, it was compatible with my favorite watch face "Rails". It seems brighter but I used to use the 3 for a night light walking through a dark room, but the new one doesn't work for that. The old one I charged once a day, the new one goes about 4 days between charges. The 3 used to use 7% of batteries on walks, the 5 only uses 3%. It doesn't keep trying to change watch faces like the 3 did. Not sure I like the morning update feature. I would like to be able to set the Oxygen sensor to check levels once every 10 minutes during the day along with the night monitor.

I've had a Vivoactive 3 for years and loved its size and features, but it's resolution wasn't too great and it's color rendition and clarity were limited by today's standards, so I just upgraded to Vivoactive 5 at a bargain price, below the current Vivoactive 6, while supplies last. Wow!!! What a difference. Lighter, slightly smaller, the colors and resolution pop, more features, better glass, and more memory. I love it. I took off one star simply because they took away the barometric pressure sensor (for elevation) and replaced the SS bezel ring with a composite material. I'm a little rough outdoors, so hoping it doesn't get banged up. So far so good. Thanks Garmin.

I have a Vivoactive 4 and felt the Vivoactive 5 would be an upgrade with a longer lasting battery. I went skiing with it the first day and saw that it did not keep track of runs. On further investigation I found out it does not have an altimeter like the 4 has so it is useless to me for skiing and biking. I returned it. In the future I would recommend to Garmin that when you release an updated model you don't remove key features.
