Exactly what I needed.

I wanted a stylish watch, low maintenance, and easy to use to track my daily progress and help with self-direction on workouts. I have not used any of the training apps yet, except for the YT Music playlist, but everything works wonderful so far.

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.

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!

The watch has a lot of nice features.

This watch replaces my Vivoactive 3 with many more features than the 3 did. I'm an old man and still trying to figure out the extra features but looking forward to seeing what the watches potential is.

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?
