Bad Watch

I had to get my original watch replaced because of battery drain. The new watch drains just as fast as the old one! I paid for a watch that worked! Instead I got a watch that still doesn't work.

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 :(

Significant Upgrade to my VA3

I'm happy with my purchase at the sale price I paid. It seems to be more accurate than the watch it replaced and includes a number of new features to justify the upgrade. Battery life for me is 7 days.

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.

Nice Watch!

I won this watch and thought it was a pretty good watch. My old VENU was due for an update. It has a bright display, and was pretty easy to navigate. I did decide to upgrade to the Venu 4 for the flashlight.

Somewhat disappointing

I wanted something I did not have to charge daily and this fits the bill. Overall its a good watch, however it connects and disconnects constantly and I can not connect at the distance it said I could. That is very disappointing and obnoxious

A lot to learn

The watch was a Xmas gift. It has many features, and I gave it four stars because I'm trying to learn how to use them. I had “Steps” showing up at one point, and now I've lost them. Back to the directions!

Only one fault!

I am in love with my Vivo5. It tracks my sleep, stress and steps way more accurately than any other fitness watch has. I can say, the only fault this watch has is its inability to track treadmill runs. Other than that I recommend this to everyone!

Excellent Multiple Features!

Been enjoying this watch for a month now and still learning how much it does! I basically just wanted a good watch step counter! Love the morning weather, the sleep tracking and so much more. Very comfortable to wear.
