I was able to create a readable custom watch face with the information I am interested in. The watch screens are a little cumbersome to navigate and the Connect app is a nightmare to find the settings you are looking for. The sleep score is way off from my Fitbit - I get 70-80's on Garmin where I got 80-90's on Fitbit - probably neither is accurate.

It works alright and i like the longer battery life compared to my vivosmart hr, however i had to pair it w my ipad as it will not pair or link up w my iphone se. For that matter i cannot link or pair my vivosmart hr w my iPad even though it lists it as registered to garmin connect. So it seems i can only pair one device w one Apple product. It worked fine prior to your last update and both were paired to the phone, but afterwards it would np longer connect. .

My Vivoactive 5 is a recertified product due to previous Vivoactive 4 malfunctions. I did receive a recertified, not new item. Smaller than the Vivo 4, the Vivo 5 has a low budget look and feel to it. My main concern is for how long will this watch last until it shuts off. All the bells and whistles for an active person but a few glitches during the day. Battery is something you have to be aware of as well, I'm always checking to see when charge needed. Not too confident in this device.

I have had the watch about a month so still trying to figure out all it is capable of. Love the look, it announced my mileage and pace every mile, screen easy to read and so much more. The one thing that I have noticed that is diff is that it deletes your run with no "are you sure you want to delete" so you need to be careful as the screen is touch and super sensitive. But overall, LOVE it so far!!!

I am a 13 year long Fitbit user and I don’t like what Google has done and they are stopping production. Looking for a new watch I decided to get the Vivoactive 5. I am loving all of the content in the app. I love the GPS on my wrist for walks. It took a second to get used to but I am so glad I chose Gramin over the other options. I am still getting 7 days of battery life (which was very important to me). I have the sleep functions (which I use as a tool since I work nights). If you are looking for a new go to watch after Fitbit flutters into the wind, I highly recommended a Garmin. Plus this watch is also comfortable to wear. Thrilled with my choice.

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.

I have had my watch for about 2 weeks. So far I love it. I like how it gives a great breakdown of my sleep pattern. It is pretty easy to use. There are other little things like asking me in the morning if I am ready to be up (awake) then assist me sleeping, I also like o. The screen before I actually get up it shows me what the weather is doing, like snowing, raining, sunshine…it has been fun so far!

I purchased the Vivoactive 5 about a month ago and love it. I really like the rest period count downs between sets when I do my strength training. I like the health apps. I am finding sleep coach very helpful in dealing with insomnia. The only disappointment was that there was not a hike app. I created one but it does not count steps. Other than that, I am very happy with my purchase.

They moved and changed the controls for no apparent reason. Control buttons are frequently not responsive. No altimeter so it doesn't measure stairs. The best thing about is the charger cable seems improved, so now my old watch charges again. But only on that cable. I like your product overall, but it shouldn't be this hard to charge a watch. And I've cleaned the contacts repeatedly.

Ilove this watch, I can wear it for 5 days without charging it. I have not needed to reduce the notifications, texts msgs, phone calls, email and social media apps work well. I don't listen to music on this watch. It tracks very well for walking and various exercises. I highly recommend this wat h.
