I have always loved my Garmin watches and I was hesitant to upgrade from the 4S to the 5. I personally love that the watch face is larger than the 4S. Easy to us, love all the different features and I feel like all the tracking features are very accurate.

It sometimes feels like the measurements are off. Obviously, with a wrist watch things won't be 100% accurate all the time so I still give it 5 stars. I wonder if I need to calibrate it to maybe correct it. The battery lasts so much longer than my previous watch so I'm already impressed. The customization is quite extensive as well. I changed clock faces, edited my short cuts and even downloaded another app for my watch. The store seems a little confusing but I just need more time on it to understand it. Tldr: good watch, needs some improvements in the measurements aspect(or mine needs calibration if that's even a thing), battery lasts quite a while, customization is great

I bought this a month ago. It is easier to use. Just took me a while to get use to it. I never go without. Battery life is amazing. At end of day it's usually at 94. I am in habit charging every day. Not necessary. Very happy and happily recommended.

I like the watch however it is not user friendly trying to sync with other apps I user on a daily basis. I have watched multiple videos and this watch is a headache. I wish it were more user friendly. I sent the watch back and got a Fitbit because I never had issues synching with other apps. It goes into some type of sleep mode and I don’t get my text or call alerts when this happens.

I just started my running journey in March while using the VivoFit4 and quickly realized I needed something with GPS and the ability to track my heart rate as my Fit4 wasn’t truly meant for runs, just tracking basic activity (it had served its purpose well). Knowing I wanted to stick with Garmin as i’ve tried several competitors with zero luck, I bit the bullet and purchased the VivoSmart5. It has successfully helped me through my first 10k with its training features! I love that it notifies me of my heart rate, my stress, even tells me when i’ve reached each mile and my pace for it. While i’m no mega-athlete, this watch makes me feel like one! I’ll be a Garmin Girl for life!!

I have had this watch for a little over 2 weeks, and I am so impressed with it!! It has a great display and I love the touchscreen feature! I have also really enjoyed the morning wake up feature where it goes over my sleep and the weather for the day!!

I got this right before Christmas and love all the great features & apps available. Just getting into the exercise portion but the health snap shot, body battery & sleep patterns are very insightful. Make sure you watch the videos so you don't miss anything this watch can do. It's all you need on your wrist. Plus check out the beautiful watch faces.

I purchased this watch for myself and my wife a few weeks ago and we absolutely LOVE it! We both had Apple Watches for years and they don’t come close to the capabilities of this watch in metrics and battery life in particular. I also really enjoy the amount of options to customize data and workout or activity options. The watch also has a swimming mode and can be worn in the shower. This watch is great for anyone who is active or wants to be motivated to become more active. You get a lot of value for the price. Highly recommend!

I loved my technical Garmin (epix gen 2) so much but wanted something more practical for everyday wear. I’m loving this version for daily activities such as yoga and strength training at the gym. I’ve been wearing it everyday for several months and it still looks brand new! I would recommend this item for someone just getting into smart fitness watches who is interested in a low profile and just the basics in terms of fitness recording.

I wore a Fitbit for many years and when the last one died, I replaced it with what I had hoped would be a longer lasting watch. The first Vivo5 had to be replaced because it died within the first 3 months. The second one is still around although it, too, has died on a couple of occasions, but I have been able to bring it back to life after a few, furious pushing of buttons. (Actually, the last time it died I had to do a factory reset.) That's the bad new. The good news is that the watch pairs seamlessly with my Garmin Edge 530, which is another reason I switched to Vivo5. It is rich in features, and the battery life is much better than the Fitbit. I'm not a huge fan of how a new band attaches to the face--it's kinda finicky and requires small hands--but not enough of a downer for me to consider replacing it. Overall, I am happy I switched from Fitbit to Garmin, but would really like it to be more reliable.
