Underrated Watch in the Garmin Lineup!

This watch is great! I’m a runner, so that primarily what I use this watch for. I love it so far, and I think I’m permanently converted to Garmin now.

Best watch I've ever had!

This watch is better than I expected. The battery life is a huge plus. I was tired of having to charge my previous watch (from another brand) every day. I also love the body battery, sleep insights and workout tracking.

Great watch for active and everyday use

I bought this watch to replace another brand smart watch. I have very pleased with the results and features from Garmin. The features this watch provides is top notch. The battery life is exceptional!!

Great New Smartwatch

The Vivoactive5 replaced a Fitbit, and I couldn't be more pleased. Features are all there with a MUCH longer battery life. Added a new black/silver stainless band for a dressier look. Voila!

Love my new Vivoactive 5

I had been a long-time fitbit user but recently purchased the vivoactive 5. I am very happy with this smartwatch and the Garmin ecosystem. Wish I had switched sooner!

Having problems!!

I like the watch and the look. I am having problems finding the activity app quickly when I go to the trails!! I push the button and mess with it a long time to get GOS started.

Great when it works

I enjoy using it when it works, but seems to disconnect more than normal. I am switching over from Fitbit which rarely had issues connecting, but this one seems to disconnect from my phone weekly. Other than that it is a great product.

Love the data!

This is my fourth Garmin watch and by far my favorite! I love the look and feel (super comfortable) of it, but I also love the additional data features it has (sleep, body battery, etc.). Love it!

Love it!

I replaced my 4S model with this Vivoactive 5, and love it! The screen is excellent and the notifications work well. My only nit is that when twisting my wrist the check the time, the screen lights up less than half the time. Not sure why!

I like the nice clean design

BUT, it's not intuitive. I can't get to features I want and their I'd no giving manual or instructions. Instructions I be do find on the Web seem to be different models
