After my Vivoactive 3 stopped charging, my husband bought me the 5 and I absolutely love all the new features such as the body battery and the sleep score. I also feel like it correctly counts my caloric burn when I work out. Great new upgrade and I can set it up and see everything at a glance. It also has a long battery life. I wear it everyday and I only have to charge once per week.

I’ve had the Vivoactive 5 for a few weeks now, and it’s truly been a game changer! It’s not only motivated me to stay active, but—more importantly—helped me prioritize getting enough sleep. I’m still discovering new features, and I love how user-friendly it is.

VIVOACTIVE5 Step count is not accurate! I think it counts every move I make as a step.... Sleep score/time is not accurate....I could just be in bed and it counts as "sleeping". Other features maybe ok but didn't use much. I hope I can return it and get a different one. Otherwise, never again this brand.

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.

I bought the watch last month and I have to say that coming from an Apple Watch this watch is amazing from the active sleep tracking to the opportunity to track so much my workouts plus my water intake is an amazing feature. I really love the Golf app as well and that was the main reason for getting the watch as I actively golf. Only thing is that this is not a smart watch so I can not respond to texts or emails through the watch but in a way it helps me discount at the end of the day and not be tied down to technology Do not hesitate to get this watch

The display is beautiful. It's better Than Vivoactive 4 which I updated from. This Vivoactive 5 has a more thoughtful UI, more intuitive with some added new features. It is very fast and does have a very long batery life. The orchid color is soft and subtle. It can be used for dressing up or down. As expected, I can track lots of activities. The Connect app is amazing for a free app. Than you Garmin.

I love this watch. It's my 2nd Vivoactive. Lots of features with just a scroll. A couple of things I'm not thrilled with, the bottom button. It's hard to get to and have to use my thumb to apply pressure. Also, when I move my wrist, it does not always open up to show the time. Maybe there's a simple trick to it. I would almost prefer it to stay open rather than go to the black screen.

I really like this watch. It looks good on my wrist, easy to read in the sun, and does all the basics well. Two small quibbles: I was able to download music and listen but cannot track a run and listen at the same time. I had hoped to be able to leave my phone behind but can’t yet. Second I got a small scratch on the bezel and crystal via a relatively knock. I wish the materials were a little more scratch resistant.

As a former college athlete who maintains an active lifestyle with regular workouts (4-5 times a week) and occasional sports, I’ve tried a variety of fitness wearables. The Garmin Vivoactive 5 stands out as the best by far. It offers all the essential features you expect from a fitness tracker while excelling as a smartwatch. What truly sets it apart is its phenomenal battery life—by far the standout feature of the device. Garmin continues to impress with a perfect blend of functionality and performance for both fitness enthusiasts and everyday use.

I only had the watch for 2-3 days... but already experienced some random reboots/restarts while browsing the body battery graph... and I also got 2 ugly "bricked device" kind of experiences. The watch doesn't turn on on gesture or button, screen is black and it needs recharging via cable or hard reset to get back to life... and unfortunately loses all graph data for body battery, stress, heart rate... The solution at the moment might be the auto-lock function. Somehow the watch activates to easily... Why is not a double tap feature and it only requires a 1tap to wake up ? Hopefully this could be solved via a software update. This is such a nice watch... Thanks!
