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.

My wife got me one for my birthday. I had charged it twice and the second time the metal ring around the charging pins broke. I call and it was replaced with no problems. The one I received in place of has been great and I have had no issues. Very good watch with many functions and abilities for a decent price

not as user friendly as my old watch. well lit, easy to read screen in any light. wrist action is not sensitive enough yet, that might change over time. love the way garmin connect and Garmin Express interact with it. still getting used to the features so will up date later.

I bought this watch as I am trying to be more mindful of my walking. I opened it on a Friday, set it up and straight out of the box it was up to 85%, I did not charge it until 9 day later, that next Sunday as it was 3% and I had worknon Monday. IMPRESSIVE! Also during the day it tells me if I am stressed if I need to get up a walk a bit, my body battery levels. Still letting it learn my sleep patterns and all the other functions. I love this! Already recommended a coworker to get one as well ❤️

I had the Garmin Vivoactive 4, but gave it to my son to get this. The Vivoactive 5 has much better battery life, a much better interface, and an easier to read screen for these old eyes. Additional features like the sleep score & improved analysis give me much better understanding of my sleep patterns and how they respond to daily activities. The battery life is much improved - I get several more days of battery life than I did with the previous generation. The change in interface, from widgets on separate screens to "glances" on one screen makes navigation so much easier and faster. It's really slick!

Still learning all the things this can do, it's a LOT! I'm a convert from Fitbit, and am now wondering what took me so long. I mainly do yoga, Pilates, walk/jog/hike, kayaking, and bicycling, and I've JUST started with the coach workouts. Outside of the fitness features, the wellness features like stress levels and body battery have led me to discover that broken sleep is taking a LOT larger toll on me than I realized, so what once didn't seem that important has become a priority. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

After months of researching which brand of fitness tracker was right for me, I finally decided on Garmin. I wanted a device that was user friendly and informative in regards to my activity. The Vivoactive 5 was reasonably priced and had the features I was looking for. The battery life lasts for 4 to 5 days depending on usage which is ideal.

I switched from my apple watch to this one and it has been an absolute game changer!! The battery life is amazing and the number of metrics it provides you gives great health insights and helps me train better. My favorite feature is the sleep score and seeing the level of sleep I was in throughout the night. I tried out this model just to get a feel for Garmin and will definitely be upgrading whenever the time comes.

I have had my vivoactive watch for 3 weeks now and I love it. It gives me all of the information that I need and more. It also helps me understand what the information means in regards to my body and how well it functions. There are so many clock faces to choose from. I pick out a new one every day.

This watch was an exchange after my Vivoactive 4s died. It is not as responsive as the 4s. I find myself having to tap the screen to see the time, whereas the 4s was responsive to just the movement on my wrist. The crystal also seems thinner. I already have a chip in it. Overall, I preferred the 4s.
