Good but reads heart rate low

I like it but it reads my heart rate low. There is much more useful data than with my 6 year old Vivoactive 3 which is still working well. My problem with it is the low heart rate function. On my Vivo3 I regularly get up to my max, sometimes a few beats beyond it with no problem as I am very fit for my age. Even using my Garmin HRM-Dual cardio chest belt with it, the Vivo 5 still reads 20-30 bpm low. That's not acceptable.

So far, great watch.

Well I've only had this watch for about 10 hours but so far I'm impressed. The battery is still at 100% with very few changes from the way the watch came. Step counters working good, I'll see how it does with sleep tonight. Time will truly tell though.

Awesome Smartwatch

I've had this watch for eight months now and still absolutely love it. Battery life is every bit of 12-14 days, and I use it hard (12 workouts a week). Reading text messages with responses is very effective. I find the heart rate monitor and steps tracking is far more accurate than the Fitbit. Creating a custom watch face is simple and fun.

Good

The watch is good and thankfully works even though the box was absolutely crushed when it finally got delivered.

Love It

Love this! Way better than the my FitBit Charge and Versa 2. Way more features. Definitely recommend getting a Garmin instead of a FitBit

Garmin Vivoactiv 5 - room for improvement

Avg battery "Life span" is 6-7 days, which isn't bad, but represents minimal usage, and most features disabled.
