[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best way to stay fitness. Im very happy with the amount of stuff you can track, all the sports and activities you can find and also, as a woman, I can track my cycle and fertility.

It is not user friendly, still having problems with getting text to the watch. The previous one I had also Vivek 5 the lifetime of the battery only. Lasted 14 months.

It was a gift in March and not terrifically pleased. Needs to be recharged about every 2 to 3 days. I previously had a Vivoactive 4, which lasted o ly2 yearsvand would not charge at all. Viviactive 5 does not and an altimeter, which was a feature I really liked on my 4 especially when hiking. The 5 was a gift, so not much recourse to return, once I discovered the lack of feature I liked. I'll only give it 3 stars.

I bought it to replace my aging Fitbit only to find that it didn't have the functionality I was seeking. I'm 68 and active. I wanted a device that would track my 4 mile walks, it doesn't. My Fitbit did including; average-max-min heart rate, miles traveled in hundredths, total & per mile time, steps and calories burned, and more. Update- I jumped the gun. Sometimes we get these surveys a little too quickly, but I'm the one to blame for not fully learning the functionality of my Garmin watch. It does everything I want to and is my new favorite workout watch. I give five stars.

This is my second vivoactive 5 in 4 months. Due to the fact that the charging port on the watch struggles to stay connected to the cord it's been the most frustrating purchase I've had with Garmin. I've come to trust the reliability of the product overall. But this model is terrible when it comes to the connector for charging.

I bought this to replace my much loved (but no longer working) Vivoactive 4. It's a lot easier to read! It also has new functions like the weather report that I'm using a lot. I'm using the strength and yoga tracking now, as well as the running function that I bought it for. I'm enjoying it so much I bought a Garmin scale to keep track of my progress. The only negative I've noticed is that it doesn't calculate stairs like the Vivoactive 4 did, but that's not a big deal for me.

I have been using Garmin watches for years for general gym use and active jobs. I really like the app and pack of a monthly subscription. Unfortunately something is wrong with the garmin vivoactive 5 line. I have gone through 1 brand new one where the bezel separated from the base and screen popped out. I purchased a recertified one and the screen has gone completely black in just 5 months. My vivoactive 4 lasted over 2 years. That's why I went to the 5. But now I feel dumb. The watch screens are not lasting.

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.

I got this watch as a replacement for my first vivoactive 5. my original watch which was several years old. it stopped charging. Garmin replaced with a remanufactured watch at no charge. The remanufactured watch works fine and looks brand new. I am very pleased that Garmin provided the replacement watch at no cost. concerning the each itself. I love it. it looks great and does everything I need. I use it primarily for biking, hiking and walks, and basketball.

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.
