What an upgrade

I came from a vivoactiv 4. I like the 5th version with the OLED screen! Very dynamic and feels better than the last. My only gripe is that altitude is measured with GPS not a tue altimeter.

Great features

I've had my the Vivoactive 5 for a month. Pretty happy with it and like the variety of activities. Only down side the battery doesn't last more than 5 days. Other than that, my Garmen has been very reliable.

Lots of features

Still learning how operate, it's doing what I'd hoped for and then some. Battery life isn't quite what I'd expected at 1st maybe it needed to set up more things and updates but it seems to be getting better

The battery life is great

I bought this to replace my other watch. I do like the sleep functions & the battery life. But it disconnects from my phone when I’m only 5+ feet away. The workouts aren’t very accurate. I miss a lot of texts because it disconnects so quickly.

Great upgrade!

Bought this when my Vivoactive 4s broke (since been replaced by Garmin). I love my V5 but it's missing the altimeter to count floors climbed. Why remove that feature?? Pretty annoying tbh, but otherwise it's been great.

Love my purchase!

I had an apple watch but I switched over to a garmin to track my sleep and stress. This thing is truly a game changer. I love it so much. Worth every penny.

Amazing Product

I love it, It does everything I want it to do. Compared to my Apple Watch the Garmin Vivoactive 5 has other readings options like your tracking your sleep, your HRV levels your stress levels like it better then my Apple Watch..

Not good for ski resort tracking.

I bought this about a month ago because it was advertised to have better battery life than my vivioactive 4s. Didn't realize because it doesn't have an altimeter it does not differentiate between lift rides and skiing.

Fast connection to GPS and great battery life

I bought vivoactive 4 and always took way too long to connect to GPS. Sometimes I could walk a block before it was ready. Video active five excellent, great battery life.

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.
