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.

I had a vivoactive 3 and it was not holding much of a charge and I was having an issue with the button on the side. I like the buttons better on the 5. I also really like the lightness of the watch compared to the 3. The sleep functions are way different and I love it. Also, I like the fitness options. I'm very satisfied with the 5.

For pool swimming I preferred the VA 3 simply because the display was more legible for distance and time swam as well as time given at the wall i.e. rest. On the VA 5 when the stop button is pushed the parameters are not legible for me through my goggles and unless it can be changed the VA 5 does not give time at the wall i.e. rest so still need to use a pace clock. Example: the 5 is not helpful for intervals on rest X since it does not give time rested but a message “press top button to save”

This is my first Garmin and it's the best fitness tracker I've owned! Accurate GPS, multiple activities to track and I love the look of the watch and the screen. I still have to learn more about it and all of it's capabilities but I love everything so far! I wish I would've tried it sooner!

I bought the VivoActive 5 about a month ago after wearing a VivoActive 3 for several years. The brighter, sharper display is amazing. I also like the much longer battery life. I don’t use for cycling since I have a Garmin bike computer. I will use for kayaking but the local lakes have about a foot of ice at the moment. For us northerners, it would be nice to have a snow shoveling activity but I suppose I could use hike. I use the “Glance” watch face which shows all the numbers I am interested in.

I love this watch with two exceptions. My vivoactive 4s had me sleeping like a champ. My new watch has me sleeping poorly (non restorative). I have taken naps for years, so thought the nap function would be best, but it is totally inaccurate. I round delete the functions if I could. Other than that I like the watch

I received this for a gift and couldn't be happier. I get all the information I need for my health and fitness. The information is accurate and up to date. I also like the round and easy to read size of the watch. The charge lasts longer, and when it needs charging, it's fast.

I had a very satisfying first two weeks with the watch until the last update. Now a full charge lasts less than a day. I charged my watch 100% before an hour and a half ride and it was down to 33% when I was done. Please fix this NOW. The watch is useless to me like this.

I have had a Vivofit 4 for many years. The Vivoactive 5 is a major step up. The sleep data is in more depth, and you can overlay respiration and pulse. All the activities I do are included and easy to access. The only issue so far, I cannot adjust the pool length to 10 yards which is our community pool.

This was a replacement of my Vivoactive 4 which quit on me. I loved the 4 and love the 5 even more. I love that I can track my meditations, I also like the more indepth sleep report. I especially love the readability oh the screen and how much easier it is to access settings for my activities. Thank you Garmin.
