My Apple Watch broke and I was ready to try something new. I looked into Garmin and other running watches but Garmin stood out the most. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of different watch models and all the features in them. I was able to decide on the vivoactive 5 when it came down to price, quality, and features. The watch itself is very appealing and feminine, which I love!

I bought garmin just 20 days ago and still new to watch. Few things I need and still not able to figure out is how to set watch fact which has quick way to record my activity. I am not sure how to make few activities which I keep repeating to keep only those at the top.

I'm a frequent runner who also likes to dabble in cycling, hiking, strength training, and soccer. I bought this to replace my Vivoactive 3 Music, which met almost all of needs/wants (gps, activity tracking, onboard music), but was right on the edge of battery life limits if I wanted to run anything more than a half marathon. The Vivoactive 5 was just the right step up in battery life without compromising elsewhere. I do wish they had kept the barometric altimeter for my hiking ventures, but I live in Indiana so I'm mostly fine without it.

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few weeks. The first charge lasted 10+ days and when I did have to recharge it went from 3% to 100% in 90 minutes. I moved from a different brand of smart watch and noticed the step counted seems to be more accurate than my old watch. But the main selling point for me was the disc golf app and how easily it interfaces with Udisc so I can keep score on the watch instead of fishing my phone out of the bag after every hole. I could type more, but my Garmin Vivoactive 5 just reminded me that it is time to get up and move to be more active.

This watch is perfect for someone who likes to track their health. Every morning it tells me my sleep score and how I slept. When I am stressed it gives me tips on when to rest. The best feature so far is the battery lasts 11 days before I need to charge it! The only thing I miss about my apple watch is the ring feature when I lose my phone but definitely doesn't make me love it any less

I bought this watch mainly to keep track of my health however, it is not user friendly, more difficult when the button does not respond very well to my presses. I'm still debating to return it or continue learning how to use it. I just like having alternative watch other than I-watch.

I bought the watch to be able to track my heart rate and steps and things and I love to cycle so that’s a plus! It even has a setting to use it without the connection to your phone or WiFi. I have used the 3 big “Smart/Fitness tracker watches” and by far this is the best one! Even compared to the more expensive one named after a fruit!

I love this watch. It's my 2nd Vivoactive. Lots of features with just a scroll. A couple of things I'm not thrilled with, the bottom button. It's hard to get to and have to use my thumb to apply pressure. Also, when I move my wrist, it does not always open up to show the time. Maybe there's a simple trick to it. I would almost prefer it to stay open rather than go to the black screen.

The Viviactive 5 is a great replacement device for my Apple Watch. I have had 2 Apple Watches and was a little hesitant to switch but so far I am happy with the product. Although the fitness features are a little off on some things I am happy with the change.

I wanted a fitness tracker since I am training for a half marathon. I tried a cheap one and got burned with a piece of junk. The Garmin is great. It's easy to operate and it's easy to find your stats. I need to learn how to setup a training schedule. I highly recommend it.
