Battery life is great! Has better features than the Apple Watch. I took away one star because I can’t get the watch to play music (even though I downloaded the app, tried multiple attempts to get it to work). Everything else is great! Love the running app and walking app.

I bought this in mid December, and I absolutely love it. It’s my first Garmin watch, and I’m a long time Fitbit user. The watch is far superior to Fitbit in functionality and data transfer from the watch to the app. I’m disappointed, however that the band broke unexpectedly after only three weeks of use, causing the watch to fall off my wrist. Not something I would expect from a fitness watch designed to be used during vigorous activity.

I’ve been using this watch for about a month and it’s still not properly tracking my sleep. I figured it wasn't accurate because I just started using it and it needed time to acclimate to my body but here we are a month later and it’s still inaccurate by a long shot. I was in bed reading for two hours and chatting here and there with my partner. I wake up this morning to check my sleep score and it recorded those two hours as deep sleep and gave me a high score for great sleep when in reality, I didn’t get a minute of deep sleep and am exhausted today since I slept so poorly. It makes me wonder which other features are wrong that can’t be so easily measured. I’ll be returning.

I think this is my 4th Garmin and I love this one the best. They continue to refine the coaching helps, the brightness of the display is second to none (which I am thankful for as I get older), it’s the lightest one I’ve had so I don’t mind wearing it while I sleep so I can track sleep trends and it’s not as expensive as some of the other models. I use it primarily for running, golf and walking.

My Vivo 4 finally gave up the ghost (battery) after a long service life, and I long had my eye on this update, particularly for the improved screen. But beyond that it’s notably lighter and more streamlined, and continues to have more features that I use. Very pleased.

I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. Very easy to set up. I get 5 to 7 battery life which I love. I originally wanted samsung watch but read that it had to be charged daily and battery life is important to me. I love the look and faces on the watch. Seems very accurate. This watch does not disappoint

My Sansung watch suddenly quit on me. I dug out my old 5 or old Garmin, and found it still worked with a charge. I saw this online, and decided to try it. The battery life is crazy good. I don't need to charge it every night. There're tons of customizable watch faces, I can use. And, I can customize my workouts. If it lasts as long as as my old Garmin did, from a few years ago, that will be even better.

I have wanted a Garmin Smartwatch for so long but was put off by the size and bulkiness. Well, Garmin has tackled that and beautifully. My vivoactive 5 is a wonderful companion to my healthy, active lifestlye. Even at age 68, I still work out 6 days a week. My vivo keeps accurate track of my activities, sleep, and Intensity Minutes. For the first few days, I wore it along with my FitBit but soon realized all these years how much Fitbit was cheating me out of steps and activity. It's just not as accurate. I have now tested the vivo against three hotel tradmills, and it is dead on accurate each time. I love that it displays my activity on the main screen and that I can check my sleep score and quality without going to the app.

I am very happy with my vivoactive 5 so far. Great value for the price as compared to something like an Apple Watch or Garmin Venu 3. The health features (including sleep tracking) are very good and there are many activities and apps. It is my first smartwatch so I would recommend it for other beginners or experienced users looking for a budget option. Some of the menus can be unintuitive but it becomes more familiar with time.

Bought this watch about a month ago. It replaces a prior Vivoactive that I've been using for several years. This new one seems snappier, more responsive. I like the "sleep score" that I see each morning. I haven't figured out all the features yet, but I am glad I stuck with this Garmin model to replace its predecessor.
