1. When walking, I can see the watch face with a constant on. I can see how my heart is doing easily when I walk. 2. Recharge Time - Quick, like when I'm taking a shower 3. Sleep Info - Never thought it was important. Comfortable to wear while sleeping. I can now see and understand better what happened in my sleep. 4. Sync with my iPhone And still learning more of the features. I bought a cheap "sports watch" last year. It's in the trash now.

I got this watch as my birthday gift, and I could not be more pleased with it. My fitness is tracked more accurately than ever before. The watch offers great comfort and battery lasts so long. I love how it gives sleep reviews and offers tips and tricks on how to improve that, along with your stress levels, activity, etc. Only thing I would have to say is that those purchasing should be cautious of the band. I had an unknown silicon allergy that made my skin react, but after switching to a metal band, all issues went away! Such a great, quality purchase and watch.

I absolutely love it! I went from having an Apple Watch that the battery didn’t last past 8hrs to this. I am a very active person and never took it off not even to sleep and the battery lasts 6 days! If you’re thinking about it do it! If you have an Apple Watch it’s definitely a learning curve to learn how to track workouts and sleep but it’s worth every penny.

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 has completely exceeded my expectations. It’s the perfect balance between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch, with a sleek, lightweight design that feels comfortable for all-day wear—even while sleeping. The AMOLED display is stunningly vibrant and easy to read in all lighting conditions, making it feel more premium than other fitness watches I’ve owned. What I love most is how fitness-focused it is. The built-in GPS locks on quickly and is very accurate, making my runs and walks easy to track without carrying my phone. The wide variety of workouts, including yoga, strength, HIIT, and even meditation/breathing sessions, keeps my training fresh and versatile. The Body Battery and sleep tracking features are game-changers—they give me real insight into recovery, energy levels, and overall wellness, so I can train smarter. Battery life is phenomenal. Even with GPS and notifications, I get nearly a week on one charge, which blows away most smartwatches in this category. I also appreciate the music storage and ability to download playlists, so I can leave my phone behind during workouts. As for smartwatch functions, notifications sync seamlessly, and I love being able to respond quickly without having to pull out my phone. The watch feels intuitive, smooth, and never overwhelming, even though it’s packed with features. Overall, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is the best fitness companion I’ve owned—accurate, stylish, durable, and incredibly useful for anyone serious about health and wellness but who also wants the conveniences of a modern smartwatch.

I received this as a birthday gift from my family after inquiring about one because my son purchased one. This watch is amazing. I had an Apple Watch and was frustrated with the battery life as well as the measurements being off during work outs(even after calibration). The Garmin is everything the Apple watch isn't plus more. Great watch and I appreciate the phenomenal battery life as well as all the features and being able to sync the data up to Strava and other apps make it a great choice for a smart watch. Keep doing what you do Garmin cause you have a great product.

I bought this for my wife. She's a teacher. She doesn't allow phones in her classroom, so she doesn't look at hers. This watch keeps her in communication, even at work. It's been very convenient on multiple occasions. She has also used our a a game. She keeps trying to get the best sleep score she can. 87 is her best. What's yours? The watch looks good. It's stylish. It's sleek and doesn't snag on things like a bulky watch can.

I have been using my vívoactive 5 for 3 weeks now and absolutely love the bright readable display. I was having issues reading my old venu, the pixels were getting dim. I am still learning all of the features. I like listening to music on my earphones without needing my cellphone.

I got this as a gift after my Apple Watch died and I was really excited about the 11 day battery life that was advertised but soon realized that only happens if you basically never track anything on your watch. I’ve only gotten at most 3 days on a single charge. Also, the watch band has apparently given me a rash and looking up reviews on Reddit it appears to be a common experience. So I have to spend more money to buy a different band. That’s a bummer. Hope once I get my new band and my rash is gone, I’d be able to start loving it.

I absolutely love this watch. I have had it for weeks now, and I have few complaints. I love the sleep tracking, accurate data, and gps accuracy. However I do think the recovery time for next hard workout can be a little inaccurate for more fit runners. Also I wish there was a way to enter in your own record for your personal records. Overall I love this watch!

I bought this watch to replace a Vivoactive 4. I really like my Vivoactive 5 except for it changing my watch face back to the original face that came on the watch when I purchased it. I chose a new watch face and my watch changes it at least once per day. If anyone has a work around for this problem, please post it to me.
