I've had this device for a couple of months now and have to say that I am loving it. It's incredibly light and the face choices are awesome! The activity capture appears to work very well and I really like the "morning report" that the device gives you. I've owned fitness trackers over the past 10+ years from another company that starts with F and this Garmin has it beat hands down!

I am a die hard Apple product person. Full stop. I had an Apple Watch and it was…fine. This garmin? AMAAAAAZING. I absolutely love the fact that I am not having to charge it every day. I love that it tracks my health stuff and still gives me my text previews. My favorite feature though is that I can use a regular quick release watch band vs having to buy a special one if I ever want to change it up.

I bought this a month ago. It is easier to use. Just took me a while to get use to it. I never go without. Battery life is amazing. At end of day it's usually at 94. I am in habit charging every day. Not necessary. Very happy and happily recommended.

I have had the Vivoactive 5, now for 8 months. The features are outstanding. The amount of information that is displayed on the face is incredible. Being able to check my oxygen level has gotten enabled me of get rid of my handheld unit. Having A-Fib, the ability to watch my pulse rate keeps me from over doing it and know when to rest. I could go on and on about the features but could not do the unit justice. After doing my research, Garmin was the one to buy. The only feature that I wished this unit had would be a blood glucose monitor. I wish there was some way to download an Sofware update. So far, the only problem is the charging port on the back of the unit. The charging port sometimes does to make good contact with the charging plug. This is noted on the display with shows when the unit is charging. I have ordered a new charging cord; in the hope it is the charging plug and not the watch. The unit has to have a rubber plug to cover the watch charging port, I believe Garmin should have included that plug with the unit. Of course, all the extras can be purchase online. All said and done, the Vivoactive 5 is well worth the purchase price.

VIVOACTIVE5 Step count is not accurate! I think it counts every move I make as a step.... Sleep score/time is not accurate....I could just be in bed and it counts as "sleeping". Other features maybe ok but didn't use much. I hope I can return it and get a different one. Otherwise, never again this brand.

I will say I love this watch and all its features. It does take about a day to getb used to with understanding all the features. The only thing I don't like is its not 100% accurate but what really is this day and age. That's the only thing I don't like but its about a 1/4 mile off when doing 2 miles from what I have noticed. It doesn't bother me to much as I more keep this for health instead of training.

Bought Garmin specifically for Body Battery information. Only 1 month in and still learning all possibilities of tracking - Sleep and Body Battery info very informative. Syncing with MyFitnessPal and seems seem less thus far. Would purchase again.

I have had this watch for a little over a year. It has been serviceable at best. Recently whenever I charge the watch, I will have to power it off and back on for it to register any activity once I put it back on my wrist. Disappointing for a watch I had high hopes for.

I really like a lot about the watch, although I've had it for two months now and want to upgrade. Most of the features work pretty well, however when I work out and sweat the heart rate recorder doesn't work at all which is frustrating. As well as it disconnects from my phone at least 3 times a week and I have to reconnect which is irritating. Overall I'd rate the watch 3/5 stars, definitely a beginner watch. Great if you just want to record steps but wouldn't get it for working out.

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.
