Digital Wellness Assistant

I boughtbthe Vivoactive 5 two weeks ago and I am enjoying it tremendously. It has just the right size. Has great software, snapshots, summaries, it incorporates lots of data. I sometimes can't turn off the activity exactly when I want, have to work the buttons for a few seconds, possibly my inexperience.

it's probably the most accurate pedometer and calorie tracker I've used. also for being as low profile and almost fragile looking as it is I've taken it with me on lake trips, the range, and used it in other hard use situations where it has survived some interesting dings and bangs. for someone looking for a inexpensive smart watch to take more of their health into there hands it is great.

Definitely worth the money

So I bought this because my other watch didnt track my steps well. I am very pleased with this Garmin. It tracks my steps, heart rate, O2 and my sleep. I knew I wasn't sleeping well. Now I can show my doctor my watch and prove my sleep is terrible. I can switch from left to right arm wearing but it doesn't let you put if its your dominant wrist and I wish it tracked my BP. That would be a plus. Over all I love it.

Very happy with my new watch!

I got this watch a month ago and have really enjoyed all it's features. It's easy to use and comfortable on my wrist. I like all the options for workouts. Also, I really appreciate the body battery and recovery features. I'm very happy with my purchase. Garmin make a great watch!

Great overall watch

It's a good upgrade from the vivoactive 4s. Battery is better (lasts 7 days), the screen looks brighter, you can actually text on here, see images in your notifications, and it gives lots of detailed info on sleep, body battery, and suggestions for exercise based on how stressful your day has been.

My first Vivoactive 5 was great.

My first Vivoactive 5 was great! Unfortunately I broke the screen and Garmin offered me a discounted replacement if I sent the old one back. The replacement one is complete garbage and won’t stay connected to my phone. I think it may have been a refurbished watch with existing issues.

Wanted something that could help track my activities (and calorie expenditure for weight loss) and it works great! I love seeing the stats after pilates and yoga. The sleep score and stress monitors have also been really interesting, and I appreciate that it tracks my cycle as well (one less thing to keep track of elsewhere). Pleasantly surprised at the battery life as well, and love that it was available in a neutral color that I can wear everyday.

Disconnects weekly

When this app and my watch are connecting, they're fantastic. But having to set up my device at least once, if not twice, a week is time consuming and makes me regret my "upgrade" to Garmin. I never put my actual goals into the app/watch anymore because it's a waste of my time. I could go back in time. I would have saved my money and bought a new fitb when my 5-year fitb broke.

Great entry-level Garmin

It has taken me a while to adjust to Garmin features after switching over from Apple Watch, but it’s seriously growing on me. This is a great option for those wanting to make the switch without spending a fortune! The vivoactive is fairly user-friendly, provides all the fitness insights/tracking I was looking for, and the battery life just can’t be beat.

Love the health report daily!

I was given my watch as a Mother's day gift. I love each morning I receive a health and sleep repot. This watch tells you to rest, how much sleep is needed to reset your body! Love the option to workout with trainers on the app. I am still learning and am excited to see what else it does!
