I ordered a vivoactive and after four days of wearing it was clear that it dint accurately track steps, I.e. ran 8 miles and the steps were 13,000. I contacted Garmin support and they were glad to replace it. I Sent it in and 10 days later received a new vivoactive. I wore it two days and the same issue exists. I had an 11 mile day plus shopping and it only registered 20,000 steps. Done with this watch. Don’t waste your money.

I decided to reward my self at the end of this year by getting a Garmin Vivo 5 but I was disappointed because the battery life was one day. I recharged it and again it lasted for two days. I returned it back. But still I planning to have a new Garmin in the future with long battery life.

I bought this watch after having the Venu 3. This one seemed to be a better fit for me. I am a health and PE teacher and I enjoy running. This watch is perfect for me and my daily needs. Love the size and display. This watch is much thinner than the Venu which I prefer. Additionally, the band on this watch does not irritate my skin. The Venu band severely irritated my skin.

I switched from a FitBit and it's fantastic! It definitely tracks my heart rate better and overall is more accurate compared to the FitBit. I am using it 24/7 to get a baseline on activity, sleep, and overall health - so far so good! Quick syncing to my phone and other apps makes this a no brainer!

I've been wearing for a month & have been learning something new everyday. Battery life is the best feature as it replaced my much loved Viactve 3 which could no longer hold a charge long enough to complete 4 hour activity. Sleep score/coach & reminders to get active are most useful in addition to body battery score.

I just switched from an Apple Watch 9 and i find everything about the Garmin experience to be better. I love the fact I can see everything on my watch, the glances are wonderful ! The sleep tracking is superior, the challenge and badges are so fun in comparison. The body battery and stress is so helpful ! I love the morning report !!! Overall this is a wonderful device, easy to use, with a wealth of helpful information.

Love this watch!! It’s beautiful and looks in place both at the gym and at the office. The battery life has been awesome and I love that it updates itself without having to be attached to/synced up with a computer like my last one (VenuSq). Metrics track consistently with my prior watch and the face is easy to read and navigate. Love that there are so many options for the watch face, too. Very happy with this purchase!

Great watch for someone like me who appreciates the simple aesthetic and design but also wants a watch that accurately tracks mileage. I switched to this watch from an Apple Watch and it's safe to say I'm never going back. The numbers and data this watch collects seems very accurate and has a seem less connection to strava. This is great for a runner who wants the stats but not great for someone who wants to know every little thing going on in their body.

I bought my vivoactive 5 the end of December as a Christmas gift to me. I had a venue square which I had gotten December of 2021. The venue square was not giving me any issues, I just wanted the vivoactive 5 for some features that the venue didn't have. I'm still learning the features of the vivoactive but I'm very happy with my new watch. I gave my daughter the venue square, she's enjoying it as much as i did.

Mine works great, for the most part. It does have a habit of coming out of sync with Gamin Connect though. This last time it took forever to get it back in sync. Now, every time I happen to walk about 25 feet from my phone it vibrates and sends a message, "Phone Disconnected." And when I walk back within that range, it sends another message, "Phone reconnected." This has become rather annoying.
