Garmin Vivoactiv 5 - room for improvement

Avg battery "Life span" is 6-7 days, which isn't bad, but represents minimal usage, and most features disabled.

Love It

Love this! Way better than the my FitBit Charge and Versa 2. Way more features. Definitely recommend getting a Garmin instead of a FitBit

My watch stopped charging and I have only had it for a few months. Extremely disappointed. I truly hope Walmart replaces it.

Super functional and battery life, screen fragile.

I'd maybe go 3.5 so far, but rounded up to 4. As far as the overall use of the VIvoactive I am happy. Having used other devices, the touch screen and ease of use/simplicity is not quite as straightforward. The touch screen isn't always responsive. The data from Sleep and Exercise are better than other watches I've used. The battery life is amazing, easily get a week+ in between charges. Happy with the weight, size, and so far I'd buy another Garmin for my next device. My biggest complaint so far is the fragility of the screen. For a device advertised for activity, swimming, active lifestyle, my screen cracked in 2 places with 1 minor drop. I accidentally dropped the watch and the case has multiple scratches and the screen, while still functional, is cracked. I am concerned now about any use around water and how much more durable it will be for what I hope is more years of use. I'm disappointed in the damage of the screen but overall happy with my Garmin.

GREAT WATCH

I am very happy with my Vivoactive 5. It’s a huge upgrade to my old Forerunner 35 and has many more features without being too technical for me to use. I like simplicity and this fits the bill. Still learning all the features but I can get done everything I like.

Excellent craftsmanship

This is my second Garmin watch, but the vivoactive has exceeded all my expectations. I haven't begun to really explore all the functionality, I inputted the basic and the watch did the rest, it put me to bed and wakes me up. A great piece of technology...

So-So

For the most part I like the Vivoactive 5, it’s similar to the Fitbit Versa that I had. I like that the face can be customized for my needs. I DO NOT like that it continually connects and disconnects from my iPhone 15. I sent the first Vivoactive back because of this ISSUE but this 2nd one does the same which must be a Sotware problem. I also wish the face was a little smaller especially for smaller wrists.
