Great improvements from vivoactive 3

Very happy with this watch. Can see the improvements from the earlier generation. Better options on workouts and keeps track of everything I want to see. And battery life has been amazing so far!

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.

Great featured and an even better battery

I bought this a few weeks ago and have charged it twice. It is the best battery life on a smartwatch I’ve had and the body battery, stress, HR, and calories work really well. I would definitely recommend!

Still learning how to operate it...

I am not Gidget's person; I am from the 1900s generation and got the first smartwatch for swimming, Zumba classes, and health purposes. I will update my reviews once I learn and understand all the features.

Vivid Vivoactive

Changed out from older, more bulky version. Size is perfect, display vivid, and has all the bells whistles I need. Battery life seems longer as well. 4⭐️s from this,user.

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.

It does everything

I had some trouble getting it together with all the different components it has, but now it is totally cool. I can use all the functions on my runs and swims plus do a lot more.

Great features

I've had my the Vivoactive 5 for a month. Pretty happy with it and like the variety of activities. Only down side the battery doesn't last more than 5 days. Other than that, my Garmen has been very reliable.

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.

Great features and battery life

My husband got me this for Xmas - I went from a Samsung galaxy watch to this Garmin and I love it! The battery life is awesome, I was charging my Samsung daily. I love the customizable watch faces, workout options, and badges/challenges.
