Pretty and great features!

I’ve had my vivioactive 5 for a few weeks and just love it! I love capturing my runs on it, using the GPS when I golf, all the metrics it provides and I love how it looks on my wrist!

Battery life is amazing. Was an Apple Watch gal for almost a decade and made the switch and it can do basically all the same things with 10x the battery life

Good all around watch that won't break the bank

I've had my watch for over a year now. I beat the crap out of it and it still works great. I like it for the GPS function while running. I also use it while golfing and getting the distance to the hole quickly.

Okay-ish!

Overall pretty good. I do not think the oxygenation number is right. Or rather if it is right then I may be dead. Also, very very difficult to keep paired.

The watch for folks that don't need a smart-watch

Great watch with the features I need and nothing more. Love the ease of synching the data to my phone and Strava. The battery life is excellent and it looks great.

Plenty of battery life

Moved up from the 2. Great battery life. Couldn’t get through 18 holes before. Really looking forward to putting this to the test. And I have the battery life to sleep with it.

Amazing watch!

I’ve had my Vivoactive for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. It has a ton of cool features to help me meet my fitness goals and is extremely customizable. I used to own an Apple Watch but from now on, I’ll only buy Garmin

Poor battery

Brought this about 6 weeks ago . It said normal battery life 7 days . Not true I'm charging it every day since updating if I knew that I wouldn't have brought it .

Limited improvements in layout design

Limited ability to order layout. Heart rate zones buried under chart . Heart rate number doesn't change color only a side bar small to see during workout
