The watch seems thinner than my first Garmin and does everything I need for running, walking, golf scoring, and weight training. Being thinner allows me to wear it for sleep tracking. I have not used this model for inside treadmill use yet since the weather has been good for outdoor. Auto activity tracking seems pretty reliable as well as it’s fun to enable tracking in the golf course app so I can see how crazy of a game I played. The one big difference is this watch does not have the common “always on” Garmin display so you have to lift your wrist or touch the watch face to see current display.

Bought Garmin specifically for Body Battery information. Only 1 month in and still learning all possibilities of tracking - Sleep and Body Battery info very informative. Syncing with MyFitnessPal and seems seem less thus far. Would purchase again.

I got this watch to replace my Vivoactive 3 Music. Almost the same watch but with beautiful display, more activity options, and I've noticed the GPS takes a lot less time to locate before a run. Music downloads faster. Touchscreen works great, even in the pool. Overall very happy because I loved the 3 Music and wanted something similar.

Where is the serial number? After I'm done running and press the A button to stop and save my data, it doesn't recognize that I pressed the button. How do I fix it? Also, it takes a long time to get the GPS signal. My very old Vivo watch was much faster. How do I fix it?

This is my 3rd Garmin smart watch! I started with the Vivosmart, then upgraded to the Vivoactive 4S dust gold. After 4 years of loving my Vivoactive 4S, I decided to further upgrade to the Vivoactive 5 metallic orchid. Talk about a real upgrade! Appearance wise, I love the color of the watch and the face size. Watch features are a game changer! Huge step up from the Vivoactive 4s and more like the Fenix 7, that my husband wears. The vibratant colors and details of each item on display is easy for anyone to read. I love seeing and understanding what is draining my body battery or how I slept. All of these details help in overall wellness. I am over the moon happy with my Vivoactive 5.

Absolutely love the watch. I am not too fond of the apps. The watch is comfy durable and a great choice for a first time smart watch owner. Can’t wait to dive further into it. 5 stars on the watch all around. Battery life is amazing. Being able to cancel calls incoming at my wrist … LOVE.

I bought this a month ago. It is easier to use. Just took me a while to get use to it. I never go without. Battery life is amazing. At end of day it's usually at 94. I am in habit charging every day. Not necessary. Very happy and happily recommended.

VIVIO5: I loved my Vivioactive4 & am totally frustrated with my new Vivioactive5. My old watch was intuitive & easy to use for my favorite sports & keeping health data. I guess these functions are in there somewhere in my new watch, but obviously not front & center. Are there reconditioned Vivioactive4 watches available yet? I’m 77 & don’t have a degree in technology,

I recently switched to Garmin, and although this isn't even one of the pricier models, I'm blown away at how many features it has! The learning curve was a touch steep, only because it offers so much. It took me a few days to discover all it had to offer. It keeps me moving with challenges and feedback on my activity and fitness. I did have two occasions where it didn't record sleep activity, and I'm not sure why, except that those were both days when I didn't go to bed until hours after my regular sleep time. It is accurate and holds a charge quite well. It offers something for just about any activity I could think of and I like that we can set up our own challenges with a connection, and also customize the activities. It also encourages me to keep hydrated, something I don't always pay enough attention to. I'm very happy with this!

Got my Garmin a week ago. One feature I like is long battery life and bright display
