I love the watch as a whole. Love everything it tracks, love it for training, love the Garmin connect app. But the watch disconnects from my phone FREQUENTLY. It's not out of range, it disconnects while I'm wearing the watch and my phone is in my hand. And I'm not the only user with this problem. The unit itself is nice but it's not worth it if it's never connected.

I loved my vivoactive 4s, so I bought this thinking it would be the same. The screen was so insanely sensitive, I went on a few long runs with it and the screen would constantly shift with just a drop of sweat on it. I was going insane, I’d pause my run at a stoplight and the watch would save without me touching the screen. I live in Florida, so the humidity might have to do with it, but it would never stay on the running data screen as I would run. I’d look down and my watch would be on the music screen or something else instead of just showing my pace. I returned it after giving it three weeks. I tried reducing the sensitivity and other controls in the settings, and it still disappointed. It’s a cute watch, just I would not recommend for serious training.

Wow, I did not realize how much I would love this watch. Former Apple Watch user, I wanted an oura ring to get more stats. Decided to get this Garmin after seeing all the features it could do- this thing is awesome! Accurate workout tracking, sleep info, steps, heart rate, etc! This watch in particular also looks so sleek and good on the wrist, I don’t like a bulky watch so this is perfect for me. Plus you can customize it for free! The charge also last up to 8 days for me… insane!

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 have been using the my Garmin for 2 weeks. It was a bit difficult to cut the cord from Fitbit but I was having to charge my Versa every other day and that is too much of a hassle. I really like: Better connectivity with my phone Watch how to sleep automatically once it learns your sleep schedule Gives your sleep and exercise reports right on the watch Apps are easy to navigate Apps don’t drain the battery as quickly as Fitbit My only negative comment is the Fitbit would automatically recognize a walk and count as exercise. The Garmin doesn’t recognize a walk unless you use the gps. You get steps but not exercise credit. Overall I’m very satisfied with this watch.

I really like the Garmin vivoactive 5's touch screen round design and vibrant colors. Changing the watch band is very easy. The sleep tracker is so easy to use! The heart rate measurements capabilities are well thought out. The battery lasts many times longer than my previous (other brand) smartwatch thus alleviating the stress of remembering to charge the watch. The charging time is minimal. The Garmin watch synchronizes nicely with Cronometer which I use for my food diary. I’m an IT person so I'm enjoying using the Garmin Express and Garmin Connect apps. They provide plenty of stats / graphical information thus allowing me to fine tune my health goals. I’ve only had this smartwatch a short time and I’m looking forward to learning more about it.

I have been using this product for two weeks now. It replaced a Timex digital display watch that had served me well for years. I have struggled with getting any customization done. The seventy-plus page user manual isn't the best one I have ever used. My advice - buy a Timex

Bought about a month ago. It works great. There is almost too many features. I came from a Fitbit user for years so learning how to navigate the watch has been part of the fun. It’s crazy how some workouts it automatically knows what movements I’m doing and what muscle groups I am working. I like the weight and size. I have small wrists and it fits great for me. Only thing I would say is I did my research seeing if the screen was scratch resistant or if I needed a screen protector. I found not to use a screen protector. But already within a month there is some minor scratching. It’s kind of driving me nuts but you can only see it in certain lighting. Over all happy with my purchase. Just wish the screen would always look as good as new.

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 bought this watch a few weeks ago and am already impressed with the battery life. this watch replaced an old model Iwatch that worked as well; however the battery life was horrible! I love being able to wear the Garmin watch for days, but especially enjoy the sleep analysis which I could not do with the Apple watch because of the poor battery life that required nightly charging.
