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.

Battery life is great! Has better features than the Apple Watch. I took away one star because I can’t get the watch to play music (even though I downloaded the app, tried multiple attempts to get it to work). Everything else is great! Love the running app and walking app.

Fitness stats very interesting. Body battery, etc. Auto sleep tracking misses first 1 - 3 hours of sleep. I do wake up frequently. I had used a Fitbit Versa 2 whose auto sleep tracking also missed sleep, but let me enter sleep start time and wake up time. Display is great. Lots of on watch stats. Great battery life. 10 days.

I've been using a fitbit for walking plus a golf watch for golfing for 10 years. Nice to have one watch for both!! The only downside, the garmin watch doesn't record as many steps for things like mowing the yard, etc. where the arms are swinging. Way more features than I use but overall really like the product.

I absolutely love this watch! I got mine on Monday and ordered my husband one Tuesday. Great battery life, lightweight but built very well, fitness, health tracking, and some bells and whistles. You can even respond to texts as it will pull up a keyboard. I previously had another brand and loved it, but love this one even more. You can choose different clock faces (large selection) right from your watch. The app is great too!

Just bought mine and I think the fitness capabilities are so cool! That said it is way too hard to download music, and the user interface is very difficult. You have to download the garmin app, then a seperate garmin app, to enjoy the capabilities. No reason they need two seperate apps. I’d give this a 3/5 but it is so cute 4/5.

There are a lot of good features on the Vivoactive 5, including the night mode with less activity that can disturb sleep, and the longer battery life. The big disappointment I have is it doesn't seem to track floors, which previous vivoactives do. I had switched from my Venu Squared back to the Vivoactive, hoping to regain that feature, as I wanted to do the step climbing challenges. My search engine had indicated the feature was on this watch, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Other than that, it seems to track my other activities, like swimming, walking, and biking very well. I also like how it talks through my phone when I hit lap milestones with my walks.

I have lost count of how many Garmin watches I have gotten over the years, but this is by far my favorite. I started getting Garmin because other activity watches available at the time didn't have anything waterproof and I need something so I could monitor my heart rate while I swam laps, I stay with it because of the app.Everytime I need to upgrade, I am excited by the newer features.

I thought I would miss my Vivoactive 3 after the battery ran out, but the 5 is OUTSTANDING!! The sleep monitor is better, the ease of use is so much better than my Forerunner that replaced the 3. It is so much easier to use than any other of my Garmin devices and much more enjoyable and simpler to use and attractive. The only reason I can’t give it a 5 star is that you dont know how to add apps and activities out of the box until you get the excellent “ thank you for registering “ from Garmin!! The instructions in the box are woefully inadequate.

I was looking for a watch that I didn't have to charge everyday! The 11 day battery life is perfect for me and works just as advertised. The app is so easy to use, with sleep score and other customizable info. Size of watch is perfect as well. Will continue to buy Garmin in the future.
