I bought this watch as a replacement of my old Apple Watch and I definitely like it a lot more because it holds the charge for at least three days as opposed to running out of a charge in less than 12 hours Also, the watch does not offer a lot of features that are never used by me in the Apple Watch

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 loved my technical Garmin (epix gen 2) so much but wanted something more practical for everyday wear. I’m loving this version for daily activities such as yoga and strength training at the gym. I’ve been wearing it everyday for several months and it still looks brand new! I would recommend this item for someone just getting into smart fitness watches who is interested in a low profile and just the basics in terms of fitness recording.

I have had a Vivofit 4 for many years. The Vivoactive 5 is a major step up. The sleep data is in more depth, and you can overlay respiration and pulse. All the activities I do are included and easy to access. The only issue so far, I cannot adjust the pool length to 10 yards which is our community pool.

The general features are better than its predecessor however the overall construct is a bit inferior. I do like the sleep features and the general fitness insights, they are a bit improvement over the 4 version. Would like more guidance on how to make the battery last as long as advertised as well.

I’ve had smart watches for a few years and my last one was at the point that I needed to upgrade for something new. I decided to try out Garmin as a few friends have recommended it and have said great things about it. I absolutely agree with what they said. Sleek design, no overwhelming notifications, you can still change the bands to make it more you. It’s super light weight. The battery lasts so long is so great! I use it all day every day and battery is still going since day one. I also love the activity feature where you can plan workouts and it also has challenges for the month that makes you keep up with your fitness.

My boyfriend got this for me for Christmas, and it’s everything I need as a runner, HR, Calories, pacing, VO2 max, etc!! So many features! And it’s really easy to understand real quick! I didn’t even have to really read the manual to get it. I love it !

As a prior Fitbit owner, I switched to Garmin, as I was tired of replacing Fitbit devices annually, and I believe Google will eliminate them and move people to their watch. I am looking to Garmin to fill my tracking needs, eliminate constant replacements, and provide more data. At this point, they have exceeded my expectations. They provide more information and add more features. It is double the price, but having to replace a Fitbit every year, this Garmin tracker has to make it two years, and I am ahead.

Not really happy with this watch. A and B keys are erratic in their responses. Lack of a manual with diagrams biggest downer. Web site gives insufficient instructions. Way too many options and each option often has further options. Can't get the activities to perform the way I want. sometimes I spend 10 minutes just trying to get back to the main screen

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.
