I wanted an easy to use smart watch that wasn’t intrusive. This watch fits the bill. I only activated the functions that were important to me. The watch band is stylish and made of silicone which is sturdy. I’m not sure the steps are counted accurately. I think it over counts them. I like knowing what my heart rate is while exercising and resting. I would recommend this Watch.

Garmin is priced like a premium item because it is a premium item. After trying lower priced options over the years, with a constant stream of disappointment, this watch not only has all the necessary features but easily interface with my health tracker and other apps.

I love my watch, I love the color and it works just as good as a Samsung or Google watch without the expensive prices. I have health certain health issues and it helps me to keep up with my values and most of my other medical devices can connect to it to keep track of the numbers.

I’m going off of first glance of my new VIVO active five I was looking around like on Amazon and the ones they had at Amazon was like $20 cheaper but it was refurbished so I’d rather had brand new so I got a brand new one and so much better because I don’t want stuff from breaking down and I’m happy with my purchase. My husband made this purchase possible thank you to my man.

I really like my Garmin watch it has a battery that lasts over a week which I just love. it tracks everything I need such as steps, heart rate, pulse ox (many watches do NOT do oxygen saturations - this does), sleep logging, it synchs seamlessly with my phone and I can get the weather on it and know who's calling. it has features I don't use like music and I'm sure there's more. This not a commercial for the watch, honest. I've owned a few different brands. I just prefer this one. it's a little on the high end money-wise since it isn't a phone too like Apple but I already have a phone and I like it just fine.

Really wanted something more simple than my Apple Watch. This Garmin Vivoactive 5 has been the perfect replacement! The charge... it lasts FOREVER! Perfect for tracking my fitness goals which is exactly what I wanted it for! Easy learning curve too coming from all Apple products.

Ive had this watch 5 months now and I can tell you with confidence it is not accurate unless you are using the gps. I workout Monday through Friday 4 to 5 miles mostly in a treadmill and it doesn’t accurately track even after calibrating. Doesn’t accurately track other workouts either. The step counter also not accurate as I some how made 1235 steps while driving… I’ve gone back to Apple now. The only good parts is it tracks right if you use the gps and the battery life is great.

I switched from apple to this watch. I hit all my goals (most days) with my Apple Watch, this watch basically called me lazy and I haven’t hit a goal once since putting it on a week ago. Sooo idk which watch is true but it’s kinda annoying either way. I did do an exercise with this watch and it does not correctly count the reps and there’s zero direction on how to use the watch to move though the workout, but don’t worry, I pushed all the buttons until I figured it out. Getting my music to work has been a hassle as well. Haven’t used it for walking outside yet though, too cold. But the battery life is super good, wore it for 6 days straight. The charger cord is really short too and I hate spending so much money on these things and then they don’t even give you the butt for the charger. Had to search my whole house for a c port charger 🙄

Love the garmin watch in comparison to my old Apple Watch. Has a lot more features including the sleep tracking which is very helpful and nice to have. Great fitness tracking that is fairly accurate. Battery life has been fluctuating, sometimes lasts for almost a week, other times it dies at the end of the day. Not sure why. Lots of software updates.

My experience with this smart watch was not very good. I found it difficult to swipe up and down and left and right sometimes and rather frequently it would not recognize my swipe. That was very frustrating. Then the force required to squeeze the individual buttons and there are two of them so that it recognizes the action is too much in my opinion. So I cannot not recommend this watch. Also, I had a great deal of difficulty with the sleep. Analysis function. It would frequently think I was asleep when I was not and then and that's both before going to bed and after getting up. That was very disappointing because I had had a previous VIVO active three where it was actually pretty good with sleep. Also wasn't confident about the heart rate how much starting to feel the weight of this building that you are bringin my experience with this smart watch was not very good.
