Love the battery life!

I wanted to switch from my Apple Watch to something new and I have no regrets on my Vivoactive 5! It does all of the things I want it too and it has so many wellness features.

Great features but disappointed in durability

Love the features of this watch but very disappointed to that the edge of the screen had a crack in less than a week. It's not for me if it's not durable for everyday activities. I've worn Fitbit since 2018 and have never had a screen crack.

Love the watch and all of its features. Really helps me keep my health in check. Would love it if it would work with google pay since none of my banks work with garmin pay

Nice watch but major flaw: Heartbeat rate not accu

I loved the watch at first. A wide range of features but unfortunately I found out that the heartbeat rate monitor was almost 30 beats per second lower than the actual. The actual was validated by 2 other instruments, watch and treadmill monitor.

Not bad.

I dropped my very old Apple watch and broke it and my daughter had this watch she did use. Took me a bit to warm up to it but I am pleased with it now.

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.

Limited improvements in layout design

Limited ability to order layout. Heart rate zones buried under chart . Heart rate number doesn't change color only a side bar small to see during workout

Great watch

Very happy with my new Vivoactive 5. Easy to set up, choose a customized watch face, so I am wearing it as my everyday watch and not just for fitness as I previously planned. And Garmin battery life is so much better than Apple Watch.

Know your body

I really like the energy level and sleep information. Honestly I’ve had it two weeks and am still learning about all the features. The online manual is very helpful.
