I’ve been using this for almost a month and no complaints here! Love the look (round face) over my previous watch for sure. Main reason for switching was for tracking my workouts plus more. Does everything my previous watch did and price point is definitely better. In love and won’t go back!!

This does everything I need to track running and other types of workouts, as well as tracking overall health/activity. Battery life is pretty good, but not the 11 days claimed. I get 5-6 days out of a charge.Worth the price, and a great option if you don't need all the crap the Apple Watch has.

The vivoactive 5 is an excellent watch for medium-level to advanced runners, hikers, and athletes alike. The GPS readings on it are near-perfect. It has a great battery life for long walks and runs. The interface is very user-friendly and attractive. I love the body battery function and it is really accurate. The sleep tracking feature is quite accurate as well. It is also easy to switch the watch band out. What I don't like is the weight lifting mode because it wants to count your reps and is very inaccurate (you can toggle this off and I do so.) I also do not like the watch band at all, it is uncomfortable but that may be a personal preference. Overall I have been very impressed with this watch and highly recommend it to anyone trying to get into Garmin at a higher level, without breaking the bank.

Nice improvement on the Vivoactive 4. The battery life improvement is much better than I expected and the graphics and displays are significant improvements over the prior versions the 3&4. The interface and experience of this new device are great!

I got this right before Christmas and love all the great features & apps available. Just getting into the exercise portion but the health snap shot, body battery & sleep patterns are very insightful. Make sure you watch the videos so you don't miss anything this watch can do. It's all you need on your wrist. Plus check out the beautiful watch faces.

I have had the watch about a month so still trying to figure out all it is capable of. Love the look, it announced my mileage and pace every mile, screen easy to read and so much more. The one thing that I have noticed that is diff is that it deletes your run with no "are you sure you want to delete" so you need to be careful as the screen is touch and super sensitive. But overall, LOVE it so far!!!

In a little over a year I have had three different vivoactive 5s because they either stopped working or would no longer charge. I don’t use the watch for anything it can’t handle. The only good thing is that I got replacements due to the year warranty. At times I wish I just stuck with my Apple Watch because I had it for about five years and had no issues, I decided to switch to garmin because I heard such great things, but so far that isn’t true. A watch should be able to last more than 8 months.

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.

Purchased a month ago and still figuring out how to use all the features. Enjoy connecting to my phone's services. Find it keeps me inspired to keep moving. The data for sleep has helped me take my sleep health seriously. I look forward to figuring out more.

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.
