What does it matter
2 out of 5 stars review

Can't customize it

I've owned this watch for several months. I can't get it to track my stair feature. I have to reconnect it to Garmin connect at least once a day.

The vivoactive 5 does not have a barometric altimeter and cannot track floors climbed or stairs. With regard to having to reconnect it with Garmin Connect every day, it should automatically reconnect whenever the app is opened and the watch is within range. I recommend making sure that the Garmin Connect app is up-to-date, and that check to ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. This FAQ provides additional troubleshooting suggestions that should be helpful: http://ms.spr.ly/6425sEPaP If you continue to have trouble, Garmin Support would be happy to assist you further and can be reached at 1-800-800-1020 Monday Through Friday, 7am - 7pm CST.

Nice Tracker

It has lots of features but I wish I had known before I bought it that to measure blood pressure, you had to buy a separate attachment.

Already broken clasp

It's been a month and my band just broke at dinner. Frustrating to spend so much on such questionable quality.

Love My Vicvactive 5

This watch outperforms my older Vivoactive so much. The battery last much longer and the heart rate is more accurate. Love the watch faces.

It's an ok watch but doesn't connect to hone well

I bought this watch as advertised as a sports watch yet I can't get golf help. But I love the water proof help.

Health assistance

I had a pacemaker put in. I wanted something to give me my heart rate without having to wear a chest strap. This has served the purpose.
