Great features

I have had vivoactive 2-5. I love the 5. The features are great! I really like the sleeping coach. The only thing I’d like to see on this is I would live to be able to answer texts from the watch. I have an Apple phone so it is not compatible with text answering as I believe the android is. I do wish the phone and Bluetooth of the watch would reach a bit further. All in all I love this watch!

Good updates

I am happy with the watch overall, the activities are easier to use and the sleep coach has been very helpful. It is not as easy to charge as the 4, but I am getting the hang of it. It often dropped from my Bluetooth and has twice put out an emergency notice, but these were easy fixes.

Easy to use with great features

My new Vivoactive 5 replaced a Vivoactive 4 I had for many years. I was so pleased with the incredibly easy set up and data transfer processes. I love all the new features with this new watch, especially the ability to track HRV and VO2. Aesthetically, the dial is SO much easier to read and the wrist band is a significant improvement over the previous version being more flexible and comfortable.

Great features , but the user interface..

Just bought mine and I think the fitness capabilities are so cool! That said it is way too hard to download music, and the user interface is very difficult. You have to download the garmin app, then a seperate garmin app, to enjoy the capabilities. No reason they need two seperate apps. I’d give this a 3/5 but it is so cute 4/5.

Even better than my Vivoactive 3!

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.

Great SmartWatch

I’m loving my new Vivoactive watch. I previously had a Garmin Instinct and found it hard to read and the multiple buttons not very efficient. The Vivoactive screen is very easy for my 68 year old eyes to read and having fewer buttons more efficient to get where I want to be.

Great Watch

I’ve had this now for a couple of weeks. I love all of the features, the only thing keeping me from giving a higher rating is the battery is only good for about 4 days when in the description it said up to 11 days which is one of the reasons I got it.

Very light and I can see it!!

The new color display is easier to see without my glasses. It’s amazingly light which means it gets in the way less and I am more likely to wear it. The battery life is about 2 weeks which is ok for the trade off of being light and thin. The sleep report feature has been a big help leading to changes in my lifestyle. I would recommend it for someone that wants to monitor their health, work out, and enjoy some of the technological features that digital watches bring without having to charge it daily or strap a brick to their arm.

Love it!

I’ve been an avid Apple Watch user and wanted a change to help track my sleep with longer battery life! Needless to say, I love the watch and only wish I would have made the switch earlier. I never used my Apple Watch for anything but the time, date, weather, and exercise tracking. - but if you use your Apple Watch for more things like app utilization, calls and replying to texts (that is something you don’t get with Garmin). I will be a Garmin user from now on!

Definitely an upgrade

I received this as a Mother’s Day gift since I am super active and my Apple Watch was dying before the end of the day. I’m able to go almost a full week on one full battery charge. So I’m able to track my sleep and daily activity at ease. I love the breakdown information garmin gives about my workouts. It’s definitely worth every penny.
