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.

I like it a lot only if it would change to 100%

I bought my vivio active five will only charge up to 84% and I let it charge all night put it didn’t change at all I don’t know what to do with it. This is the third one I’ve had and they all did the same thing

Great Features

I bought this a month ago and I love it! It tracks everything even your sleep and it recommends how many hours of sleep you should get every night and I need to get my sleep on course! I also like how it gives you medals for activities that you do

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.

great watch/ tracker

I really like it. I’m a longtime customer Garmin and I just upgraded from a vevo active three to the vivoactive 5. Garmin is great.

Interesting and fun.

I love the details on my body's performance during my swim workouts. The sleep info is great too altho I don't understand how the overall number is calculated. Some other parameters are mysterious too. Overall fun to learn about my health this way

Won’t hold a charge

I bought mine in May and it already won’t hold a charge. Doesn’t even last 24 hours. I switched from Fitbit to garmin for this exact reason and my garmin has proven to be way worse than Fitbit products! So disappointing.

No always on display and not on with movement

Got this one to replace my old Vivoactive3, disappointed. Watch face do not stay on and it does not turn on with turn of wrist. I will start looking for alternatives.

A lot to learn

The watch was a Xmas gift. It has many features, and I gave it four stars because I'm trying to learn how to use them. I had “Steps” showing up at one point, and now I've lost them. Back to the directions!

Notifications dont work

Was great when I first got it, then stopped receiving notifications on the watch. Tried everything suggested to get notifications to come through. No success. Will probably have to purchase a new watch - wont be Garmin
