Surprised by all the featres

Given to me as a Christmas present. Really too large for my wrist. Wish Lily had been available. Email about the Lily shows it would be better for my small wrist. Will not wear mine except when doing activities, especially when going out.

Awesome watch

I switched from an Apple watch and it was the best decision. There are so many more useful features on the garmin watch. Only thing is I can’t make it receive texts but that’s not a big deal to me.

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.

Like the pre installed apps.

Only had it a couple of weeks, but I'm really liking it so far. I used a vivoactive 3 as my first watch, then bought a forerunner 735xt. I like the vivoactives much better.

No Texting

I bought this about 2 weeks ago. Although I love the features that the watch has. I hate how you can’t reply to text messages on it. That’s my only issue with it. Really wish they could add it to make it possible.

Great features

I received this as a Christmas gift. I loved it! I which it came with a book telling you about all the features and how to use them. I would like to use as much as possible.

Felt too cheap

Ended up returning and spending more on a Fenix model. The Vivoactive 5 felt extremely cheap, especially considering it’s used in athletic sports and could be prone to some wear and tear.

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.
