Some text too small

Basically. I think this is a good watch. Some of the text, especially in notifications, is so small that it requires reading glasses which definitely doesn't work in the Sun. And when they send you a notification, it's only up for 2 to 3 seconds. By the time you put on reading glasses, it's gone. So it does you know good. I would not buy this watch again.Because I think there are others out there.That would have suited my needs bettearth.But it will be fine.I don't hate it, it's very pretty.

Great visibility

I have been using my vívoactive 5 for 3 weeks now and absolutely love the bright readable display. I was having issues reading my old venu, the pixels were getting dim. I am still learning all of the features. I like listening to music on my earphones without needing my cellphone.

Nice features

I have had mine about a month and I like it very much I like that it shows my phone calls and counts my steps just wish didn’t have to use your arm all the time when carrying something it holding on the treadmill handles not sure it counts my steps? And I like the sleep feature tell what kind of sleep I have and glad it’s waterproof also hold charge a long time I would recommend this absolutely

Very disappointed in my vivoactive 5

The first week I had the device, the battery lasted about 5 days. NOW, I need to recharge it every 24 hours. It is not reasonable and very disappointing. I like the feature of the sleep assessment, so I have to charge in the morning and it is not fully charged before I leave for work.

The vivoactive 5 is compatible with both iPhone and Android phones. The recommended OS version is 16.0 or higher for iOS and 9 or higher for Android.
