It tracks my workouts really well

My parents surprised me with it because they love it, I didn't think it would be amazing or anything but I love being able to track my health and it has really helped me figure out when I'm going to have asthma attacks.

Continually Disconnects

I was fairly happy with my VA5 for several months. However, now it Disconnects several times per day. Reconnecting requires running through the full setup.

No altimeter! Downgrade from Vivo3

"Upgrade" is a downgrade from Vivo3. Shocked tht Garmin removed the altimeter. I am a runner and an avid skier. Floors and runs really matter. Requires violent wrist flick to see clock. Not happy.

Don’t know how I went without

I’ve used a Fitbit for 3+ years and was hesitant to make the change to garmin. I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! It’s so much more accurate and the info/statistic it gives is great! You won’t regret picking this watch.

Love it!

I bought this a month ago and really glad I did. Amazing battery life, gives reminders to stretch, GPS enabled. At first it was having some trouble picking up on my walks vs bike trips, but it's learned now.

Absolutely Wonderful

Love this watch. Took awhile to find the perfect one. Needed a watch for casual fitness and some smartwatch features. It strikes the perfect balance between smart and fitness watch features. Love the sleep tracker.

Great Looks

I really like the looks of this product. There are many options to choose from too. I'm still trying to figure out how it operates and can better help me take care of my health. I am particularly intersted in the "Heart monitoring" features.

New fan

Recently switched to Garmin from another fitness tracker brand. Love the focus and feedback of the watch. Will be a devoted Garmin fan for a long time.

Great little watch! Does everything I need.

Had about two months and still finding new things about the watch. Lots of different faces. I especially like the way it receives notifications from my phone. Tracks my steps as I walk every day. Continuously monitors heart rate. So much more.

Can't disable auto sleep mode

Excellent watch - great features and layout but having the sleep mode automatically turn on and turn off is extremely inconvenient and annoying. This has been captured for years in forums and blogs and Garmin you need to change it.
