Very happy with the Vivoactive 5. Had a Venu Sq prior so everything connected quickly. The sq watch face seemed to fit my wrist a little better. Thanks for continuing to make an affordable quality product.

Great watch!

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few years now and it's one of the best investments l could make to keep track of my health. It's inexpensive, light, and not bulky. It's streamline shape and size fits perfectly for my needs.

Needs improvement

Dont know why phone is connected and disconnected 3 inches from phone multiple times during. An hour. Can reply to things after phone sends it. Why can't i message someone from watch all the time? No audio, just buzz.

works in pool

It is easy to use but does need to be charged daily. Also would be nice if the time was listed in hours and minutes not by just hands. Does work in the pool while a teach a water fitness class.

Outstanding Choice

The Garmin watch is so much more than I envisioned...easy, intuitive use. Antenna is excellent and provides immediate communication for the various modes. Excited after a month that this watch was selected.

Not bad

Not as user friendly as other devices I've owned. I had to set the time for sleep; if I go to bed earlier or later, it doesn't seem to detect that. Has a lot of features but can't seem to sync usage. Admittedly some of this may be user error.

Have to reconnect evey other week

The watch keeps disconnecting every other week and I have to keep reconnecting as though it's new. So frustrating

Meets my expectations

Purchased a few weeks ago. Overall not bad. Sad it does not have a compass. Athletic tracking not bad. Sleep tracker much better than my Fitbit

Love it

I don’t have the vivoactive 5 watch, but I love my Fénix 8 watch! I used to have the old Vivoactive watch and it was great too.
