Decided to leave my Fitbit Versa 4 for Garmin Vivoactive 5. Finding some significant differences in sleep scores. Garmin shows much longer deep sleep and REM sleep yet score is much lower. Which one is correct? That being said the Vivoactive 5 has lots of features. It will take time to figure out all of them and how to get the best use of the smartwatch.

I had a cheap watch that worked ok but it died. Tried various other cheap watches and they all had issues. This watch is amazing. The app that goes with it is really good. Im sure this watch will last me a long time. Also its nice being able to download watch faces as I have some vision impairment and was able to find a face that gave me the info i wanted in a format i can read.

I bought the watch to be able to track my heart rate and steps and things and I love to cycle so that’s a plus! It even has a setting to use it without the connection to your phone or WiFi. I have used the 3 big “Smart/Fitness tracker watches” and by far this is the best one! Even compared to the more expensive one named after a fruit!

I have had this about 2 weeks. Still getting used to some of the features. It's very responsive and minimum time for the GPS to work. Right now, I am not completely sold on the running or walking features using the GPS. It does verbalize my time at each mile split; however, I cannot locate that information once my run or walk are complete! According to the help area I should be able to locate that information. I haven't been able to do that! That is frustrating. I like that I know my overall time and average pace. I want to be able to find each mile and the calories burned as I did on my old 220 Forerunner. Supposedly I can find it on my home screen...I haven't been able to do that. I really don't want to have to return this watch, I like most of the features and the cost of this model. I do need some of the basic information that I am used to finding.

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.

I have had this watch for about a month and it grows on me more and more each day. I had a Samsung watch that I had for about 6 years. It started to have issues so I went looking for something with a decent battery life, tracking steps, workouts and sleep. When I picked the Vivoactive 5 from the website it seemed to fit all of my needs plus a few extra. Once I got it. I was surprised at how light it felt on my wrist. After getting it all changed and set up I was excited to see how it did. Pros: my battery lasted more than a week. I am using it daily for steps, sleep, body battery, and workouts 4 times a week. After a week of wearing it it was still at 15 % but decided to charge it. It charged quickly I would say around 2 hours for a complete charge maybe a little less but I was not watching to see how long it took to charge. Simple start up for workouts. Easy to find stats. Do not disturb sleep mode automatically (after you set the sleep times). Quick timer and alarm set up on the watch. Cons: alarms that are set on your phone can not be turned off by the watch. Do not disturb while sleeping (not even severe weather alarts). Not sure how accurate sleep score is. Over all I love this watch at first I did not think I was going to keep it but after a while I love it and the pros out weigh the cons for me.

I had very high hopes but this is not for me. Limited number of activities. Hiking, rucking are not included & not able to be downloaded. Some days pedometer did not activate. One day I did a very challenging highly very vertical 3 mile hike and the watch messaged me I had a relaxing day and needed to move more (even though my heart rate was over 130 at times on the hike).I am returning it.

Watch works very well. The touch screen is annoying at times. The buttons were better. The brightness of the display is great. The functions are very useful for tracking your health. I replaced the band on day two with a nylon one. Less chaffing on the wrist.

I've been using for about a month and am very happy with its performance. The p[rimary issue that keeps it from having a solid 5-star rating is that it isn't backwards compatible to the aps and watch faces that I really enjoyed and used on my Vivoactive 4. I presume that since the Vivoactive 5 is still relatively new, it doesn't have as many watch faces, but it seems that a much smaller percentage of them are free offerings. Also, one of my primary workout apps, ErgIQ, is not available in the Vivoactive 5 App portfolio. I expect that the App suite and watch faces are still maturing. When it passes milestones like this, I'll put away my Vivoactive 4 and never look back.
