I'm loving it

I've had my new Vivoactive 5 for 2 weeks now. I love the new features of sleep coaching and the statistics provided at the end of each workout are far superior to the Vivoactive 4. Incredible battery life so far. Just completed my 2nd charge on day 15.

LOVE the Vivoactive 5! It is perfect!

The display is beautiful. It's better Than Vivoactive 4 which I updated from. This Vivoactive 5 has a more thoughtful UI, more intuitive with some added new features. It is very fast and does have a very long batery life. The orchid color is soft and subtle. It can be used for dressing up or down. As expected, I can track lots of activities. The Connect app is amazing for a free app. Than you Garmin.

Great device

This is a great watch/health device. For me it’s easier to use than other watches but I’m more into well-being than sports. It’s user friendly, looks good and I enjoy the app. Sometimes I can get annoyed with the prompts to get moving but thats honestly on me and I need the prompts.

Excellent Watch for Medium Level to Advanced Athletes.

The vivoactive 5 is an excellent watch for medium-level to advanced runners, hikers, and athletes alike. The GPS readings on it are near-perfect. It has a great battery life for long walks and runs. The interface is very user-friendly and attractive. I love the body battery function and it is really accurate. The sleep tracking feature is quite accurate as well. It is also easy to switch the watch band out. What I don't like is the weight lifting mode because it wants to count your reps and is very inaccurate (you can toggle this off and I do so.) I also do not like the watch band at all, it is uncomfortable but that may be a personal preference. Overall I have been very impressed with this watch and highly recommend it to anyone trying to get into Garmin at a higher level, without breaking the bank.

Great Watch!

I bought this watch a few weeks ago, and am very happy with it. It is very stylish and comfortable, and has so many features that I have yet to discover! It records my workouts well;h although it records treadmill steps accurately only- definitely doesn’t add up the miles correctly- I guess I get that with GPS. Also, I have to walk around outside first to find the GPS before starting an indoor treadmill workout. Those “issues” aren’t worth lowering my rating. I previously had a Vivomove HR, which I loved, but the screen became unreadable after 4 years. I think the Amoled screen will be better, and all the features are awesome. Overall, a really great watch!

Good Features & Great Value for your $$$

I bought this to replace my dying Fitbit & definitely made the right choice. There are so many more features than I had with my Fitbit. I really like the recovery mode feature, along with the stress tracking feature. I highly recommend if you are in the market for a Smartwatch/Fitness tracker.

Love how long the battery life lasts on it. I also love the always on feature. I like how it tracks my sleep and coaches me on how to sleep better. The only thing that I sometimes find a little annoying is the touch screen is not that good. Responses will also sometimes be laggy. But other than that I would highly recommend this product!!

Love my Vivoactive

I love the Vivoactive 5. There are great upgrades from the 4 version. I love the blue option. The Garmin Connect app is easy to use and gives me all the information I need. I love how all the Garmin products work together and the app keeps all the stats. I recommend Garmin to everyone!

Great product

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.
