I’ve had the watch for a few weeks now. I love the look of it and it’s comfortable. My complaints are the sensor doesn’t work 50% of the time. I tried tightening the watch, loosening the watch, I tried cleaning my skin under the watch, tried whipping of the sensor, nothing has worked. The sleep app worked for two days and now it say no data. I’ve had a fit bit before and loved them because the sensors are very accurate. I was told that harming are better, but so far I’m not impressed.

I bought this last month as my sisters each had one. I am so glad I switched from the Galaxy 6. This battery lasts so much longer. Sometimes I even forget where I plugged in the charger as it doesn't require charging every 12 hours. I love all the features and how my sisters and I can challenge one another. Great great great!!!

I'm a frequent runner who also likes to dabble in cycling, hiking, strength training, and soccer. I bought this to replace my Vivoactive 3 Music, which met almost all of needs/wants (gps, activity tracking, onboard music), but was right on the edge of battery life limits if I wanted to run anything more than a half marathon. The Vivoactive 5 was just the right step up in battery life without compromising elsewhere. I do wish they had kept the barometric altimeter for my hiking ventures, but I live in Indiana so I'm mostly fine without it.

My Apple Watch broke and I was ready to try something new. I looked into Garmin and other running watches but Garmin stood out the most. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of different watch models and all the features in them. I was able to decide on the vivoactive 5 when it came down to price, quality, and features. The watch itself is very appealing and feminine, which I love!

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few weeks. The first charge lasted 10+ days and when I did have to recharge it went from 3% to 100% in 90 minutes. I moved from a different brand of smart watch and noticed the step counted seems to be more accurate than my old watch. But the main selling point for me was the disc golf app and how easily it interfaces with Udisc so I can keep score on the watch instead of fishing my phone out of the bag after every hole. I could type more, but my Garmin Vivoactive 5 just reminded me that it is time to get up and move to be more active.

This watch is perfect for someone who likes to track their health. Every morning it tells me my sleep score and how I slept. When I am stressed it gives me tips on when to rest. The best feature so far is the battery lasts 11 days before I need to charge it! The only thing I miss about my apple watch is the ring feature when I lose my phone but definitely doesn't make me love it any less

I bought the watch to be able to track my heart rate and steps and things and I love to cycle so that’s a plus! It even has a setting to use it without the connection to your phone or WiFi. I have used the 3 big “Smart/Fitness tracker watches” and by far this is the best one! Even compared to the more expensive one named after a fruit!

Just bought my Vivoactive 5 a few weeks ago and getting used to it. I had Fitbits for over 8 years. This watch is better in many ways. The big drawback is that it doesn’t record steps unless I swing my arms. So while pushing a lawn mower or a wheelbarrow it doesn’t give me credit for the steps.

I bought this watch mainly to keep track of my health however, it is not user friendly, more difficult when the button does not respond very well to my presses. I'm still debating to return it or continue learning how to use it. I just like having alternative watch other than I-watch.

I love this watch. It's my 2nd Vivoactive. Lots of features with just a scroll. A couple of things I'm not thrilled with, the bottom button. It's hard to get to and have to use my thumb to apply pressure. Also, when I move my wrist, it does not always open up to show the time. Maybe there's a simple trick to it. I would almost prefer it to stay open rather than go to the black screen.
