I love this watch! It really is helping me on my fitness and strengthening journey. I am disabled, and this helps me stay on track and build my strength without injuring myself. It helps keep me motivated, and I love being able to see my progress. Thank you, Garmin! :) :)

I love my vivoactive. I got it to really capture my calories burned while at work and to keep better track of my workouts. It’s easy to use and navigate. The Spotify app always works. I love that you can also personalize the watch face. I’m so glad I made the switch from the Apple Watch.

This is my first watch used to track fitness. I saw a friend and asked her about hers and decided to get the Vivioactive 5. I am imprpressed with the features and how easy it is to operate. I use it for high intensity interval training, yoga, walking and have tried to use it for kayaking. I did not see that as an activity and have substituted Rowing instead. I would love to see kayak as an activity! I like the feature that allows you to monitor your heart rate while doing an activity.

Great beginner watch for those becoming more active. Great way to track workouts, steps, sleep, hydration etc. As a novice runner, Garmin coach helped me learn about running and kept me on track. As I ran more, I needed to upgrade to the Forerunner as it has more specific features for running. This is a great product overall.

I received this as a Mother’s Day gift since I am super active and my Apple Watch was dying before the end of the day. I’m able to go almost a full week on one full battery charge. So I’m able to track my sleep and daily activity at ease. I love the breakdown information garmin gives about my workouts. It’s definitely worth every penny.

Watch works very well. The touch screen is annoying at times. The buttons were better. The brightness of the display is great. The functions are very useful for tracking your health. I replaced the band on day two with a nylon one. Less chaffing on the wrist.

I have had practically every fitness watch on the market-FitBit, Polar, Galaxy, etc. My Polar cracked so I compared many brands. The Vivoactive 5 checked all the boxes so I pulled the trigger. I am SO happy I did. The features are all there and it was very easy to get comfortable with how it works. Bonus for the variety of bands and watch faces.

Wanted something that could help track my activities (and calorie expenditure for weight loss) and it works great! I love seeing the stats after pilates and yoga. The sleep score and stress monitors have also been really interesting, and I appreciate that it tracks my cycle as well (one less thing to keep track of elsewhere). Pleasantly surprised at the battery life as well, and love that it was available in a neutral color that I can wear everyday.

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

Overall, I really like the vivoactive 5. I've had a 4 for several years, and the battery life wasn't what it once was, so I decided to go ahead and get a vivoactive 5. I like the controls and UI really well. The biggest drawback is the fact it no longer records "floors climbed". Apparently the 5 doesn't have the Barometer in it anymore. Frustrating. Didn't expect features to be removed. Other than that it's great. if you've never had that feature, you'll not miss it.
