Nice watch but major flaw: Heartbeat rate not accu

I loved the watch at first. A wide range of features but unfortunately I found out that the heartbeat rate monitor was almost 30 beats per second lower than the actual. The actual was validated by 2 other instruments, watch and treadmill monitor.

Love my Vivoactive watch!

I bought my watch about a month ago and I love it. It replaced my Samsung watch. It has a better battery life and faster charging. The features on it are basically the same but I love the battery life.

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.

Love it

Got the garmin because of the pulse ox and it seems to do what they say it does. I don’t get the 11 day battery life but I still get 8 pretty good. I would have never thought of garmin for a health tracker but they seem to have it all.

Was an early Christmas gift, the set-up was easy, the data collection is very good, battery life is excellent, the size for my wrist is perfect - I love everything about my Vivoactive 5

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.

Garmin vivoactive 5

This is by far the very best fitness watch I have ever used. Ready to read information and graphics are stunning. I used Fitbit for 9 years, that is over. Garmin for the rest of my life. Thank you for such a great product.

Great first smartwatch!

Two weeks into my first smartwatch and it's been great! Easy to use, comfortable and durable so far. Does exactly what I need it to do, plus the additional golf app features are a bonus!

Exactly what I was hoping it would be

I bought my watch about a month ago and I'm so happy with my purchase. I love every feature from the sleep tracking to the training coach. I can log hour + long workouts all week and the battery only gets down to about 15%. I love it.

Bought it for my wife to use in the hospital. She loves it. Really sleek and practical. She loves all the metrics that the watch and the Garmin Connect app provide.
