I’ve been using the Garmin Vivoactive 5 for a shirt while now, and I’m really impressed! The design is sleek and comfortable, making it easy to wear both during workouts and throughout the day. The fitness tracking features are fantastic—whether I'm doing strength training, cardio, or even HIIT workouts, the watch keeps up and gives me accurate data. The built-in GPS is super convenient, and I love that I don’t need my phone with me when I go for runs. The battery life is also a huge plus. I can go several days without having to recharge, even with daily use. I appreciate the detailed health metrics like heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. It’s been really helpful for understanding my recovery and overall fitness. The display is clear and easy to read, even in bright sunlight, and I love how customizable the watch faces are. Syncing with the Garmin Connect app is seamless, and it gives me in-depth insights into my workouts and health. Overall, the Vivoactive 5 has exceeded my expectations. It’s a great smartwatch for anyone serious about fitness, and it’s definitely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

I was a fitbit fan for so long but one after another the bands broke. I was up to my fourth one. Then my research started for a replacement. I wanted something with an easy app, easy to use, great looking/stylish. I used the Garmin tool to select my Vivoactive 5. Very great choice!

Loving my Vivoactive 5. So many amazing features. It is so refreshing not having to recharge my watch every day! The only thing I’m not a fan of is the setting for strength training. Hard to keep track of reps. I like setting my watch and moving forward with the workout. It’s a distraction figuring out the reps.

I got this watch about 2 weeks ago. It took me watching some videos to figure out all the features but once I did that I was set. I love the watch, love the tracking of my health stats such as sleep, stress and calories. I am using one of the 10k training programs and while I prefer verbally guided runs, the accuracy of the watch GPS and stats is incredible!

I got this as a Christmas gift from my Parents. Ive been wanting this watch for a while now, and ill say its worth the money. Battery life is amazing, the features for the workouts are incredible, and its very comfortable and lightweight. sometimes i forget that im even wearing it LOL. 10/10 Love it.

Long time Garmin vivoactive watch owner. Bought the version 5 as the battery died on my previous Garmin watch. Very disappointed. 3 day battery life. Watch face randomly changed. Will not wake out of sleep mode. Multiple other annoying quarks. Do not want to have to be a computer programmer to know the time of day and my heart rate. Would not recommend this product

I decided to upgrade to the vivoactive 5 from the vivoactive 4 for improved data and metrics. Love it since day 1! Colors on the screen are brighter. The sleep coach has been helpful to guide my rest and recovery. HRV is useful to adjust my workouts, stress and be mindful for breaks!

My first smart watch was a Garmin 10 years ago and then I went to the competitor that I thought had more advanced features. Not so any more! I'm very happy with this Garmin Vivoactive 5--the steps, sleep score, heart beat, and all the other data that syncs with my phone via Garmin connect really beats the competition. While the other big names were resting on their perceived reputation, Garmin was out researching and out developing the competitors.. Eleven day battery support--and to think, one of Garmin's competitors is bragging about 22 hours. I've had this watch for a couple of weeks and still learning additional features but I highly recommend it..

I have really enjoyed this watch. I have all my data at my fingertips. Vivo 5 is very lightweight, I forget it’s in my wrist. The bands make it stay on my wrist better without shifting. The amount of features it has is incredible. I enjoy running and all the data it provides me during and after make it easier to train.

After extensive research my wife and I purchased the Garmin Vivoactive 5. It's now been a of couple months wearing them 24/7 and we are extremely pleased! The watch is a precision instrument that reliably measures so many body metrics as well as fun things like the weather, emails and text messages, that you can also respond to. The brilliant display is absolutely beautiful and battery life is stellar. We charge once a week on Sunday mornings and there is always 30% or more charge left so the manufacturer's claim of up to 11 days is pretty close. The GPS feature will drain the battery quicker, but that is only used on specific settings where distance and a tracking map is desired. We chose the Vivoactive 5 over the Garmin Venue 3 because it is thinner, lighter, and smaller, the soft band makes wearing it effortless. We did not need the microphone, speaker, and EKG feature on the Venue, also the heart rate sensor on the vivoactive 5, although not as elaborate as the Venue, is still state of the art and functions flawlessly. We are 100% glad we chose the vivoactive 5 over everything else we looked at. The health benefits of having this watch have been substantial for us. Being able to actually look at graphs and charts of sleep patterns, hydration, heart rate, stress, etc etc have given us great insight into adjusting our daily life. We really appreciate the technology, ease of use and the quality built-in by Garmin.
