This is a far cheaper smart watch than an Apple Watch. I love this Garmin. Would highly recommend to those looking to track their biometrics.

I bought this a month ago and it's okay, but from everything I had seen the reviews everything I was really let down

I am on my third watch after the other two were unable to turn on. Might not purchase a garmin again.

This is my second Garmin. They have both worked great. I use it for running, walking, golf and swimming. The sleep and health features are great.

Bought new. Works as expected. I wish "non-GPS" activities were more accurate (indoor treadmill, strength training)

I’ve had this for a few weeks now, an upgrade from my forerunner 245 and I’m really pleased with it so far! The GPS picks up very quickly, love a lot of the features and the touchscreen. The only issue I have is on the watch face it doesn’t display how many miles I’ve ran during the week. I miss that about my forerunner. Maybe there’s a way and I haven’t seen it?

I bought my first watch about a month ago. I’m a runner and I needed something to track my pace. I also knew I wanted something to be able to play music from without having my phone. I still have not figured out how to download my Spotify playlists but I can skip and turn up volume for now. I never thought I’d become the person that tracks their steps but I am. I also love keeping track of my hydration levels. I really never thought I’d be someone to sleeps with it either because I never even wear watches or bracelets. I wear it to bed every night and it’s the best alarm. It just taps on your wrist to wake you up. Which surprisingly works because I’m a heavy sleeper. I wish you could play text or respond to them but other than that it’s amazing. I love my watch and it was so worth the investment.

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 this almost a month ago, and it has everything I want in a fitness watch! I found out about Garmin watches from my sister and her husband - I knew about Garmin GPS but not their watches. As we spoke about multiple brands, they showed me the app and how detailed Garmin is. I ended up purchasing a different brand, was very disappointed, and quickly returned it. I eventually found the Vivoactive 5 after more research and deciding on the features that mattered most to me. The birthday wish was a sweet surprise, love the morning report, sleep score, ability to see notifications (am okay with not being able to reply to texts/calls as I don't want my watch to be an extension of my phone). Took a nap today and woke up to see automatic nap stats (solid sensors - didn't have to alert my watch). Love the vast amount of activities to choose from - The VA5 has all the workout types that I consistently do (jumping rope, yoga, pilates, treadmill, strength, other cardio, strength, walk, stair stepper). Oh and the menstrual cycle tracker! That was top five on my must have list. I could really go on and on. By far one of my best investments. Thank you Garmin!

My new Vivoactive 5 replaced a Vivoactive 4 I had for many years. I was so pleased with the incredibly easy set up and data transfer processes. I love all the new features with this new watch, especially the ability to track HRV and VO2. Aesthetically, the dial is SO much easier to read and the wrist band is a significant improvement over the previous version being more flexible and comfortable.
