I counted out 1,000 stepsas i walked. The vivoactive logged 804 of them, my fitbit sense 2 logged 1000. I repeated this test 5 times, and the average count for the Fitbit was 99% accurate. The Vivoactive averaged 82% accuracy Pulse rate wa a little better, vs manual count. The fitbit was 100%, Vivoactive 93% I could go on, there were other tests, but suffice it to say i kept the Sense and returned the Vivoactive

I wanted a basic watch & was very happy with the VivoActive 3. It was time to update it & the 5 is a great option. Affordable with much better features than what I had. The band is very soft, comfortable & fits my wrist very well. The screen is clear & easy to read. Overall I feel this is a great entry/mid level watch for those who are looking for something that has a fair amount of functionality & is affordable.

I seriously can’t say enough good things about this smartwatch. The color is gorgeous (I get compliments all the time), and the battery life blows me away – I go days without needing to charge it, even with regular use. It’s super comfortable to wear, and I love how easy it is to navigate. From fitness tracking to notifications, it just works seamlessly. Whether I’m working out or just going about my day, the vívoactive® 5 keeps up and then some. If you’re on the fence – just go for it. You won’t regret it!

It's a good upgrade from the vivoactive 4s. Battery is better (lasts 7 days), the screen looks brighter, you can actually text on here, see images in your notifications, and it gives lots of detailed info on sleep, body battery, and suggestions for exercise based on how stressful your day has been.

Bought this to replace my Apple Watch which seemed to be a bit less able to track my activities and physical condition than a Garmin is capable of doing. So far, it is ok, but perhaps I should have chosen a more advanced model of watch. Time will tell, I suppose.

I’m loving my new Vivoactive watch. I previously had a Garmin Instinct and found it hard to read and the multiple buttons not very efficient. The Vivoactive screen is very easy for my 68 year old eyes to read and having fewer buttons more efficient to get where I want to be.

I purchased the Vívoactive 5 to replace my Vívoactive 4s. The display capabilities of the new watch are spot on and have exceeded some of the past features. It’s nice to be able to scroll through your features. I like the sleep report and end of the day report too. However, I do miss a few features like the auto start for activities and the pause for time while I was engaging in activities. I was also disappointed that I had a new charging cable. I always like to have a backup, but I don’t want to have to purchase yet another charging cord.

I bought this watch 2 months ago. It often stops counting steps, turns off after charging and stays off for several minutes, vibrates randomly with no notification, etc. I loved my Vivoactive 4s (which got damaged) and wish I had not “upgraded” to a 4.

I’ve been using this for almost a month and no complaints here! Love the look (round face) over my previous watch for sure. Main reason for switching was for tracking my workouts plus more. Does everything my previous watch did and price point is definitely better. In love and won’t go back!!

I had an episode when walking too fast and was above my maximum heart rate. My daughter figured this out and strongly suggested the Garmin Vivatech 5 so I can check my HR while walking. It is awesome being able to check HR and helps because I am working on my target. Eventually I will add more of the features. Right now I use HR, Steps and Hydration.
