Horrible battery life

If the battery life lasted more than a day, Id really like this watch. The first week it worked fine with minimal features. Then it did a software update. Now it won't last more than 24 hours with a full charge on the battery saver setting.

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.

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!

Great Watch!!!

I bought my Garmin to track my exercise in water aerobics classes! It does exactly what I purchased it for and 1/2 the price of the other watch I was considering!!

Great features

I bought this a month ago to replace my Apple Watch, I love it. The only downside I have is the frequent disconnect from my phone even when it is right in my pocket

Bad Watch

I had to get my original watch replaced because of battery drain. The new watch drains just as fast as the old one! I paid for a watch that worked! Instead I got a watch that still doesn't work.

Beautiful watch

I received this watch for Christmas. I love the look of the watch. I love how many different faces are available to pick from. There's so much more this watch does compared to my old garmin.

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.

Great interface!

I got this a month ago as a replacement for a 2019 model, and it is so much smoother, even with significantly more features. I LOVE that the battery lasts SO long
