Great Watch!!!

I bought my Garmin to track my exercise in water aerobics classes! It does exactly what I purchased it for and 1/2 the price of the other watch I was considering!!

I like it a lot only if it would change to 100%

I bought my vivio active five will only charge up to 84% and I let it charge all night put it didn’t change at all I don’t know what to do with it. This is the third one I’ve had and they all did the same thing

Great Features

I bought this a month ago and I love it! It tracks everything even your sleep and it recommends how many hours of sleep you should get every night and I need to get my sleep on course! I also like how it gives you medals for activities that you do

Terrible

Terrible watch. Does not keep a charge really want my money back. Apps are not correct. Does not catch a true depiction of my sleep or body. False advertising/ cheaply made and extremely disappointed

No always on display and not on with movement

Got this one to replace my old Vivoactive3, disappointed. Watch face do not stay on and it does not turn on with turn of wrist. I will start looking for alternatives.

Great interface!

I got this a month ago as a replacement for a 2019 model, and it is so much smoother, even with significantly more features. I LOVE that the battery lasts SO long

Not Happy

I have problems with the Vivoactive 5 watch and need to do an upgrade. The features don't always work correctly, and it's not much better than the vivoactive 4.

Beautiful watch

I received this watch for Christmas. I love the look of the watch. I love how many different faces are available to pick from. There's so much more this watch does compared to my old garmin.

Where are the elevation fields

80% of the reason I purchased a Garmin watch was to track elevation. The elevation fields are not available on the Vivoactive 5 like the were on the vivoactive 4. The other 20% is to track distance, which I can confirm this watch does still do :(
