Lovely smartwatch; does most things I want

I am a true fan of Garmin products and have many of them. While I like this watch, I find that making changes for my preferences to be a bit cumbersome and somewhat annoying. However, again, I do like this watch as it does almost everything I want.

I have been a Vivoactive user since the beginning of this product series. Had Vivoactive, Vivoactive 3, Vivoactive 3 Music over a period of several years. Love the Vivoactive 5 display and improvements!!

I like it a lot

Really enjoy the many features it has to offer. Glad the hrm sensor syncs to my edge 540. Have not been able to get the edge and watch to pair however other then the hrm sensor. Most likely something I’m overlooking.

Great features

I got this for christmas and can say that you do not need a fancy apple or google watch. this watch covers all of my needs. I just wish it had longer bluetooth and better rep counting

Love it!

I recently switched from apple to Garmin and haven’t thought about my Apple Watch once! It has everything I need for running and more! I am so highly impressed!

Upgrade time

I bought this about a month ago as an upgrade for a Foreruner 45. It is more accurate, the battery last a lot longer, still learning to use some of the added features. Very happy with my purchase

Great Health Features

Love the health features…heart rate, body battery, sleep analytics, steps, calories burned, pulse Ox, etc. the only issue is that I cannot get it to connect to Face It.

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.

Love the watch

I love the watch, it was given to me as a birthday gift. Everything works perfectly except changing the temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit, stuck on Celsius. I’m a weather geek, old school.

Review.

I really like it, but I’ve only had it for four weeks and the step counter is way off. Everything else seems to work pretty good on. It cannot find out why it will not pick up my steps.
