Great product

I switched from an Apple Watch SE because I was tired of charging everyday. The battery life on the Vivoactive 5 is impressive! I love everything about it.

Upgrade from 3 to 5

I thought the menu system and settings would similar. They aren't so I guess I have to read more of the manual. A changes from 3 to 5 FAQ would be nice.

Smarter than the user.

I have enjoyed being able to keep track of my steps, vitals, and sleeping patterns. I have found it confusing when swiping the watch and going to the screen that I'm trying to navigate to. Overall, it was a good purchase.

Frustrating

I’m disappointed that I can’t connect it to Spotify and/or AirPods. It should be possible right? I’ve spent too much time in trying to connect it with no results. I will not buy it again.

Great watch

Just bought the watch 3 weeks ago and was disappointed that they stopped the stair climb feature from Gen 4 to Gen 5. The watch in every other area is much better.

Exactly what I was hoping it would be

I bought my watch about a month ago and I'm so happy with my purchase. I love every feature from the sleep tracking to the training coach. I can log hour + long workouts all week and the battery only gets down to about 15%. I love it.

Device fine Manual sucks

Packed with features that are hard to use because there are no written instructions. Watch face changes are infuriating. Why can’t I pick the data I want in the format and color I want?

Perfect for my needs!

I’ve been using this watch for 3 weeks now. It’s a fine replacement for my old venu sq. The features are plentiful but enough and the battery life is great. I’d buy again.

Excited Beginner

This was a gift. I had help me to push forward with my daily steps to drink more water and sleep when I should. I have been able to achieve my daily goals. I love it! I also have been able to see when I’m stress and can wind down and meditate.

Love it but a little disappointed!

I love the health snapshot features and love using it for my workouts. I was just disappointed because I thought it had temperature tracking for women’s health but it’s just like any other period app. Only thing that made me disappointed!
