My experience....Does not keep steps accurately and does not keep a charge over 24 hours. I would not recommend!!

Outstanding Choice

The Garmin watch is so much more than I envisioned...easy, intuitive use. Antenna is excellent and provides immediate communication for the various modes. Excited after a month that this watch was selected.

Replacement for Garmin Tracker

I've used Garmin trackers for years. My last one finally bit the dust and I bought a Vivoactive 5. Very happy with it. The battery is fantastic. I charge it once a week and it usually has 35% or more left.

Great watch!

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few years now and it's one of the best investments l could make to keep track of my health. It's inexpensive, light, and not bulky. It's streamline shape and size fits perfectly for my needs.

Not Happy

I have problems with the Vivoactive 5 watch and need to do an upgrade. The features don't always work correctly, and it's not much better than the vivoactive 4.

Very happy with the Vivoactive 5. Had a Venu Sq prior so everything connected quickly. The sq watch face seemed to fit my wrist a little better. Thanks for continuing to make an affordable quality product.

Needs improvement

Dont know why phone is connected and disconnected 3 inches from phone multiple times during. An hour. Can reply to things after phone sends it. Why can't i message someone from watch all the time? No audio, just buzz.

Best decision I've made leaving Apple

So happy that I decided to buy this watch. It does everything I hoped it would and then some. The Fitness tracking, Golf, sleep and the battery life is phenomenal. Highly recommend.

A nice upgrade from the vivo active 4

I got this watch, because my vivo active 4 stop working and it has been a great upgrade so far. Improved battery life and display. Plus, the new activities are great for me, especially soccer.
