Doesn’t work

I bought this in hopes to replace my Apple Watch and keep some features like text notifications and so far I have not received any.

Love the fit!

This was a valentines gift from my husband. While I love the fit, I miss a lot of the features that my Apple Watch has.

Frustrated!

Stop working correctly a while ago. Tried to reboot but it stayed stuck on some sort of demo mode and does not work properly

Repeatedly registering the device

It seems as if two times a month I am being asked to register my watch. What is happening that my registration of the watch is being lost?

Learning

I am still learning how to operate this. So far I love it but disappointed it does not track flights ( stairs)

Not easy to navigate

I’m finding this watch much more difficult to navigate compared to other watches I’ve owned. I would not buy another one.

My Garmin does everything my Apple Watch did minus answer texts or calls, but with longer battery life. Always worth the buy.

Great Features.

This was a xmas gift and has better features that the previous 'athletic' watch. I like that you can change watch looks.

My favorite Garmin yet

I've had 5 or 6 different Garmin models and the Vivo 5 is by far my favorite. I love everything about it!!

Beats the Competition!

I am so happy I made the jump from the competition to Garmin. The features are endless! I wish I had switched sooner.
