I was very excited about this watch I ordered and it worked great for the first couple of weeks. Unfortunately, without any adjustments on my side, the watch battery stopped holding a charge for more than a few hours before going completely dead. I will be looking at an alternative brand going forward.

Got this for Christmas because Google bought Fitbit and I didn't want to do that. I absolutely love it! Love the flat face and I swear it keeps better score of everything- steps, health metrics, sleep, etc. Had to get different bands though because this belt buckle mess is just not for me.

I've been using the Garmin vivoactive 5 for two weeks now, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. Previously, I wore an Apple Watch for eight years, going through three different models, and I was always satisfied with the Apple Watch. However, the Garmin better suits my lifestyle and caters more to my needs as a runner. The Garmin watch is incredibly accurate in every aspect; if it says you ran a mile, you can trust that you really did run a mile.

Good features for tracking, easily customizable, and good longevity. I had a few vivoactive watches of previous models and this is an upgrade in every way. It’s not particularly rugged and doesn’t have bread crumb tracking for outdoor running, but if that’s not important to you this watch is perfect.

So I’ve had this watch for a few weeks now and I very much enjoy it. I previously had an Apple Watch but my husband convinced me to go with garmin. It has a lot more to offer than apple. The only thing I don’t like is if there is a wall between me and my phone it will disconnect. Other than that I love it.

I wanted a basic watch & was very happy with the VivoActive 3. It was time to update it & the 5 is a great option. Affordable with much better features than what I had. The band is very soft, comfortable & fits my wrist very well. The screen is clear & easy to read. Overall I feel this is a great entry/mid level watch for those who are looking for something that has a fair amount of functionality & is affordable.

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.

Overall the Vivoactive 5 has some great upgrades - very clear screen and cool stats! What I miss is the feasibility of the 4s. I used the 5 last week during my triathlon and found the interface a little clunky for race day. I was unable to get activities started quickly and missed out on tracking my own stats. It could be the fact that I'm still new to it and have not become familiar enough with the interface. I also need to figure out how to turn off all of the questions after a work out because that was also frustrating on race day as I was focused on time - not feeling. I was also a little bummed there wasn't a small watch face size as I have a pretty small write. The regular size has worked out just fine but feels bigger than I would like.

I really enjoy having this watch and highly recommend it! I was never into watches before, but since I’ve become more active, walking daily and going to the gym, this has been a great fitness tracker. The battery life is excellent; I don’t even take it off most days. I was debating between this and the Apple Watch, but having to charge a watch every day felt pointless to me. This one tracks calories, steps, and logs all my activities, which helps me stay on track with my fitness goals. It's also lightweight and has a modern design, which I really appreciate.

It sometimes feels like the measurements are off. Obviously, with a wrist watch things won't be 100% accurate all the time so I still give it 5 stars. I wonder if I need to calibrate it to maybe correct it. The battery lasts so much longer than my previous watch so I'm already impressed. The customization is quite extensive as well. I changed clock faces, edited my short cuts and even downloaded another app for my watch. The store seems a little confusing but I just need more time on it to understand it. Tldr: good watch, needs some improvements in the measurements aspect(or mine needs calibration if that's even a thing), battery lasts quite a while, customization is great
