I ordered a vivoactive and after four days of wearing it was clear that it dint accurately track steps, I.e. ran 8 miles and the steps were 13,000. I contacted Garmin support and they were glad to replace it. I Sent it in and 10 days later received a new vivoactive. I wore it two days and the same issue exists. I had an 11 mile day plus shopping and it only registered 20,000 steps. Done with this watch. Don’t waste your money.

This watch is a step up over the Garmin Vivoactive 4. I own both the Vivoactive 4 and the Vivoactive 5. The Vivoactive 5 has a clearer display and the battery stays charged much longer than my vivoactive 4. I only get about two days of charge with the vivoactive 4. The Vivoactive 5 gives me eight days before I need to charge again. I like the Vivoactive 5 very much.

I just switched from an Apple Watch 9 and i find everything about the Garmin experience to be better. I love the fact I can see everything on my watch, the glances are wonderful ! The sleep tracking is superior, the challenge and badges are so fun in comparison. The body battery and stress is so helpful ! I love the morning report !!! Overall this is a wonderful device, easy to use, with a wealth of helpful information.

Had watch for a month, still haven't tried all features. Wish it had altimeter. I was 69% complete on climbing Mt McKinley on Garmin app, but this watch doesn't track stairs. I wouldn't have bought if I had known. I only purchased because my vivoactive 4 band broke and you cant replace the band. Sleeping with the bigger face is bothersome as well.

As a full Apple product user I was skeptical to switch to Garmin. My Apple Watch wasn’t lasting during long runs so I wanted something more dependable and decided to go with Garmin. It looks nice with most of the features from Apple. It connects to my iPhone you just can’t respond to a text or answer a call which most of the time is fine cause my phone is nearby. I’m still discovering all the features this watch can do! Great price for a great watch! Glad I switched. I only have to charge the watch about every other week!

I bought this watch after having the Venu 3. This one seemed to be a better fit for me. I am a health and PE teacher and I enjoy running. This watch is perfect for me and my daily needs. Love the size and display. This watch is much thinner than the Venu which I prefer. Additionally, the band on this watch does not irritate my skin. The Venu band severely irritated my skin.

I've the 3 weeks i wore this, i experienced more stress than normal because of the watch. would not stay connected, wouldn't keep track of steps, every other day having to pair again to phone, turn devices on and off, try all steps they list to troubleshoot. i bought this to hold myself accountable to walking and being active and to track sleep. disappointed on days i worked hard to find out watch was not keeping track for me. trying to fix situations led to stress. watch said i had some level of stress every minute it was working. nights i know i was dreaming, watch said no rem sleep

I went from an Apple Watch to this Garmin and absolutely love it! You can’t respond to text or answer calls but I never did that with the Apple anyway! The battery on this thing is also amazing! Lasts forever! I was tired of charging my Apple Watch every night! I wore this watch for about 7 days before finally putting in on the charger!

It's not as user friendly like a fitbit, but keeps a good charge on it. Still trying to get to know more about it. The watch faces are clear and good. When I change the watch face it should automatically change but there is another step to do. Easier steps to change watch face. Watch bands are very hard to change, and my watch has a purple cover around it. Would love to change that and easier watch bands to change out.

This product has changed my overall health and pushes me to be better everyday!! I've already recommended to so many people and have already had two people get one!!!! I love this watch! I use it for stress tracking, running (training for a half marathon), hydration, steps and so much more!! I love how it is also waterproof and the battery life is amazing. I used to have an Apple Watch and it always died on me but not this watch!
