Huge step-up from Vivoactive 3

Amazing. Responsive and wonderful screen. I fell on ice and it alerted my wife. I’m fine…but it’s a great feature. Wish there were more accessories and 3rd party vendors making straps and rugged cases, but it’s terrific overall.

So far, so good

The watch is smarter than me. I mainly use the GPS function to track my hiking and biking. It connects to my heart rate monitor and my bike computers. So it does everything I need it to do.

New Watch

I like the watch but the watch face features I would like are not easy to find. I actually found what I wanted through a paid feature,which I find unacceptable.

A nice health monitor

The Vivoactive 5 is easy to use, intuitive, flexible interface and provides great physiological feedback on my physical status. I am very pleased with it and the information displayed both on the watch and the smart phone app. Well done.

Know your body

I really like the energy level and sleep information. Honestly I’ve had it two weeks and am still learning about all the features. The online manual is very helpful.

Great watch

I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago. Really do like all of the features. I am still learning about some of them. Also, I like the weight of the watch.

No Texting

I bought this about 2 weeks ago. Although I love the features that the watch has. I hate how you can’t reply to text messages on it. That’s my only issue with it. Really wish they could add it to make it possible.

Upgrade from Apple

I bought my Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. I’m loving it so far. The features take some getting used too, and I’m still learning, but I love how it’s an upgrade from my old Apple Watch!

First Garmin tracker

Very happy with vivoactive 5 . Had it for 2 weeks. I like the size, customization of features. Accuracy seems good. I do question calorie burn as compared to Fitbit. I like intensity minutes tracking at a glance. Overall, happy with purchase.

Love this watch

I have been wearing this watch every day for the last 2+ weeks and I love it! It’s so customizable (with the Garmin ConnectIQ app), and all of the stats are just superior. She’s really cute too!
