Frustrating

I’m disappointed that I can’t connect it to Spotify and/or AirPods. It should be possible right? I’ve spent too much time in trying to connect it with no results. I will not buy it again.

The watch for folks that don't need a smart-watch

Great watch with the features I need and nothing more. Love the ease of synching the data to my phone and Strava. The battery life is excellent and it looks great.

Great watch

Just bought the watch 3 weeks ago and was disappointed that they stopped the stair climb feature from Gen 4 to Gen 5. The watch in every other area is much better.

Great features

Does everything! Really nice watch. I am concerned about durability though, it doesn't seem as sturdy as my other Garmin watches. Battery life a little short but it seems to be getting better with charges.

I love the COLOR!

I had the Instinct Camo before this and got tired of the plain gray/black/white. Besides the colors, I like the swipe feature for viewing steps etc, the timer, and the wide variety of watch faces I find right on the watch.

Vivoactive 5

Received as a gift. I am still learning all the functions. I love the battery life. It doesn't transfer information to an app I use and that is disappointing. Wifi distance is limited. You have to have phone in order to be sure to stay connected.

Vivoactive 5

I've only had this watch for around 6 months and it doesn't hold the battery charge anything like it's supposed to do and it keeps disconnecting from my Garmin phone app. At this stage and while still under guarantee it needs to be replaced!

Just what I needed!

I'm getting older and have been having some health problems. This watch is a great help in keeping me aware of what kind of health day I am having. Would highly recommend.

Nice upgrade from Vivoactive 4

The display has bright, vibrant colors. Sleep analysis has much more detail. I can now get HRV readings. Long battery life. It lasts a full week if I don’t use music.
