I got this watch a few weeks ago and once I researched all the features I fell in love. However, it wears worse than I expected. I have not worn it in the shower or water but the band seal is peeling already! Hoping the bands are replaceable because I have loved tracking my health and sleep especially.

For the most part I am very happy with the vivoactive5. It would be nice to have the Android app to be more user friendly. Would like to see the battery life on the home page of the app, or anywhere in the app. Overall I would recommend to a friend or family.

I bought this watch about a month ago. I switched from an Apple Watch and I love the watch. If you are athletic or are prioritizing a fitness watch over smart watch then this watch is for you. Pro: sleep tracks, very accurate for running and cardio activities with stats tracking which is great. Cons: can’t reply to messages or make phone calls. Strength training activity isn’t as accurate as I would like.

As a prior Fitbit owner, I switched to Garmin, as I was tired of replacing Fitbit devices annually, and I believe Google will eliminate them and move people to their watch. I am looking to Garmin to fill my tracking needs, eliminate constant replacements, and provide more data. At this point, they have exceeded my expectations. They provide more information and add more features. It is double the price, but having to replace a Fitbit every year, this Garmin tracker has to make it two years, and I am ahead.

I have owned this watch for almost a month now. I bought it to replace my Garmin Forerunner 920XT. I am no longer able to do triathlons so I wanted to get a watch with similar features. What I still do is weight train and cycle. This watch can track everything I do. I enjoy the sleep information, the heart rate and stress monitors. They are very helpful for me to analyze what I need to work on. Also, this watch looks stylish enough to wear with a suit unlike my 920. I simply change the watch face and it looks like a nice watch that compliments most dress attire. It is SO customizable! Get the information you want to see easily by downloading the watchface of your desire. The price point was pretty good too! So far I have nothing negative to say about this watch. I recommend!

Great daily watch with almost too many features. Hated the silicone band - will always advice to get something that woin't riisk skin irritation espoecially with it being an active watch. Keeps excellent track of all my daily needs -HR, Steps, active time - and kept excellent track of my various outdoor activities. They are LOTS of options and it's a bit tedious to learn in comparison to something like a fitbit, but I paid for those extra bells and whistle and for sure think it's worth it.

I love this watch! It really is helping me on my fitness and strengthening journey. I am disabled, and this helps me stay on track and build my strength without injuring myself. It helps keep me motivated, and I love being able to see my progress. Thank you, Garmin! :) :)

I have had the watch about a month so still trying to figure out all it is capable of. Love the look, it announced my mileage and pace every mile, screen easy to read and so much more. The one thing that I have noticed that is diff is that it deletes your run with no "are you sure you want to delete" so you need to be careful as the screen is touch and super sensitive. But overall, LOVE it so far!!!

I bought this watch about a month ago after exchanging my Garmin Fenix 7 that I had purchased a few months before that. The vivoactive 5 is exactly what I was looking for. The Garmin Fenix 7 was too large and too complicated. The vivoactive 5 has all of the features I was looking for, very similarly to the Fenix 7, but is a lot smaller profile and easy to wear. I am so happy with this watch.

I bought this in mid December, and I absolutely love it. It’s my first Garmin watch, and I’m a long time Fitbit user. The watch is far superior to Fitbit in functionality and data transfer from the watch to the app. I’m disappointed, however that the band broke unexpectedly after only three weeks of use, causing the watch to fall off my wrist. Not something I would expect from a fitness watch designed to be used during vigorous activity.
