The Vivoactive 5 has been a great fitness and health tracker these last few weeks. I may not be the most in shape, or use it for all of its activities, but it has done a fantastic job of setting benchmarks for my overall health and well being. If you are a hardcore runner, cyclist, or any other athelete in need of a fitness tracker I might recommend something on the higher end side of Garmin's offerings. I use my watch mainly for Mountain Biking, Soccer, and the occasional run. Although the part I think I find myself using the most is the hydration log. This feature has been holding me accountable for the amount of water I do (or don't) drink every day. I highly recomend this Garmin watch if you are new to the fitness tracker world, or just want a cost effective smartwatch.

If you're a novice to to fitness watches, this Garmen does everything you need it to from tracking your training drills to understanding your sleep patterns. The only downside was I didn't love the face options and ended up having to pay for one that worked for me. 2 thumbs up on this watch!

I have had practically every fitness watch on the market-FitBit, Polar, Galaxy, etc. My Polar cracked so I compared many brands. The Vivoactive 5 checked all the boxes so I pulled the trigger. I am SO happy I did. The features are all there and it was very easy to get comfortable with how it works. Bonus for the variety of bands and watch faces.

I had a VivoSmart 4S and was given this new VivoSmart 5 for Christmas. It took me a few days to configure it to my liking and getting a watch face I like. Since then I have appreciated the 'Morning Report' to start my day. Love the longer lasting battery that lasts me about 10 days vs 5 for my previous ViviSmart 4S. Not too fond of the new look of the Connect App, but now I just look at the areas of interest. Overall, I am a very satisfied user.

It took a little getting used to but all in all I like it. I like that it keeps better track of my sleep and my steps. It's nice to be able to go swimming with it and it also tracks my movement there. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my steps information to transfer accurately to my iphone, the step count never matches.

I bought this a few months after I had open heart surgery, so I can monitor my heart rate. Doctors said needs to stay below 130. Many of the features don't apply to me. I wish there was an app for people who've had heart surgery, that encourages them to lower their heart rate. It's not intuitive for me. I found help by looking up on YouTube how to change and adjust items on it.

The Garmin VivoActive 5 is a great tool to know where my body is at physically. I can see my heart rate, body battery (very cool), and even my stress level at a glance. This provides feedback so I can modify my activities, or better yet, get more active, as needed. I enjoy the sleep score and knowing how I slept. Activities are easy to track and there are many default activities to choose from. This is a nice looking, easy to wear, smartwatch. I really like it.

I have had my watch for a week and am highly impressed. The watch is very lightweight and feels very comfortable on my tiny wrist. The graphics are amazing and easy to read. I did an indoor marathon and my previous watch did not accurately measure the laps but this one did! I love the new features compared to the old one. I am still getting used to the functions as it does work slightly different but this is an improvement as the Vivoactive 3 sometimes did weird things at night due to the touchscreen feature. I originally charged the watch to full power and it seriously will last a week which will be great for weekend trips. I haven't explored any additional features such as triathlons on it but I am sure with the activity readings I won't be disappointed. Thank you Garmin!

My wife got me one for my birthday. I had charged it twice and the second time the metal ring around the charging pins broke. I call and it was replaced with no problems. The one I received in place of has been great and I have had no issues. Very good watch with many functions and abilities for a decent price

Bought this for my wife's birthday as a gift and she loves it! The tracking and apps to customize is just what she was looking for. I have the VivoActive4 and the updates to the 5 are great enhancements. Definitely a good all around watch and tracker.
