I bought this 3 weeks ago to replace a Fitbit Charge 5. This watch does a much better job of finding the correct time as I am a frequent flyer and the sync function to my phone is much better than Fitbit. But it has so many features and the touch screen is super sensitive, I am having difficulty getting the functions I want displayed and editing them. I am also not an audio visual learner so all the videos are not that helpful.

When I bought the Vivoactive 5 watch last month, I wanted to replace another watch which had its limitations. I mainly wanted to track my steps but the Vivoactive watch did that and much more. It tracks my health data and gives me much more information than I could imagine or expected.

The watch was in a different language. I went online to see how to change the language. In correcting the language I must have triggered a Garmin video that was in a loop that prevented any other actions being done. It wouldn’t power off, reset or go back to a watch face even once the battery ran out and then brought back to life. I returned it to where I bought it and am waiting for a replacement Vivoactive 5. Unfortunately I will not be able to get the beautiful orchid color I wanted.

1. When walking, I can see the watch face with a constant on. I can see how my heart is doing easily when I walk. 2. Recharge Time - Quick, like when I'm taking a shower 3. Sleep Info - Never thought it was important. Comfortable to wear while sleeping. I can now see and understand better what happened in my sleep. 4. Sync with my iPhone And still learning more of the features. I bought a cheap "sports watch" last year. It's in the trash now.

This is my 5th Garmin watch and all was well until this weekend when a bug in the software (not sure if it's the watch or the Garmin Connect App) meant the only way I could get back in action was too completely wipe all my data. I've lost 3 years of stats. Besides that, the watch is good value for money. Great features, decent battery life and is comfortable.

I had a different brand of smartwatch that didn’t last 6 months they replaced it lasted 8 months. I looked on line for reviews of and the only complaint of vivoactive 4 was the company was too conservative and I thought that’s my watch. I beat it to death for the years I had it and it worked great but it a little scrtched up. So I really like the5 so far it’s been great.

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.

I decided to upgrade to the vivoactive 5 from the vivoactive 4 for improved data and metrics. Love it since day 1! Colors on the screen are brighter. The sleep coach has been helpful to guide my rest and recovery. HRV is useful to adjust my workouts, stress and be mindful for breaks!

I got this watch as a replacement for my 4S that broke. This newer version has more features and a better interface (I think). However, things I don't like are the top button is hard to push sometimes to get the menu to come up and it's glitchy every once in a while for no reason. I couldn't sleep with my 4S because of the bright blinking sensor lights, but with the new 5 the sensor lights on the bottom are hardly noticeable. Overall I do like it.
