I have had the Vivoactive 5, now for 8 months. The features are outstanding. The amount of information that is displayed on the face is incredible. Being able to check my oxygen level has gotten enabled me of get rid of my handheld unit. Having A-Fib, the ability to watch my pulse rate keeps me from over doing it and know when to rest. I could go on and on about the features but could not do the unit justice. After doing my research, Garmin was the one to buy. The only feature that I wished this unit had would be a blood glucose monitor. I wish there was some way to download an Sofware update. So far, the only problem is the charging port on the back of the unit. The charging port sometimes does to make good contact with the charging plug. This is noted on the display with shows when the unit is charging. I have ordered a new charging cord; in the hope it is the charging plug and not the watch. The unit has to have a rubber plug to cover the watch charging port, I believe Garmin should have included that plug with the unit. Of course, all the extras can be purchase online. All said and done, the Vivoactive 5 is well worth the purchase price.

For the past several years I have used a different brand of smart watch. A friend suggested I change to Garmin. I am an avid cyclist and enjoy keeping track of my miles as I ride. I love that Garmin has this feature and use it regularly. I am still learning how to use the other features such as the Sleep Coach, etc. I am not keen on instruction manuals and like a device that is extremely user friendly. The reason Garmin received a "good" rating is that I am going to need to pull up the manual for some of its features and the connections for changing watch bands is very difficult for my arthritic fingers. Otherwise I am pleased with this produce and would definitely recommend to others!

I bought my watch 2 weeks ago & has all the features that I need. I love the ease of mapping my activities & seeing my daily activities like hours slept, body battery/recovery, steps & adding my hydration. I appreciate the reminders to move! This is a very fun watch.

I bot this watch to replace my 2year old venu that died. Really hard to see the full set of features online to compare all the garmin watches. When I received it, I configured it & could not find the stairs activity. After some googling - it's not a feature of the vicoactive :-(. I returned it and bought a new venu. I mostly track steps and stairs. Also running, biking and hiking. Venu is the model for me. Please make it easier for your customers to see all features of all models online. Venu 3 has longest battery life, so I picked that model. Don't really care about music, emails or notifications.

I got this watch as a replacement for my 4S that broke. This newer version has more features and a better interface (I think). However, things I don't like are the top button is hard to push sometimes to get the menu to come up and it's glitchy every once in a while for no reason. I couldn't sleep with my 4S because of the bright blinking sensor lights, but with the new 5 the sensor lights on the bottom are hardly noticeable. Overall I do like it.

I have really enjoyed this watch. I have all my data at my fingertips. Vivo 5 is very lightweight, I forget it’s in my wrist. The bands make it stay on my wrist better without shifting. The amount of features it has is incredible. I enjoy running and all the data it provides me during and after make it easier to train.

Bought this instead of Apple simply because of battery life. It has exceeded my expectations and love the many, many detailed facts received daily/ The only problem was the start up piece of paper sucked, no words just three pictures. Had to go online to find a manual. One error I made was downloading the Connect app before I received the watch and it just would not sync via bluetooth with my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Removed the app, reinstalled and it immediately synced withe phone. Have it about a month now and only have had to charge it three times. Definitely recommend this watc, have had a FitBit Charge, a Spade and Co. Charge 3 and this is way better and accurate.

I got tired of my Samsung smart watch needing to be charged every day, and sometimes not lasting through the day. I loved being able to track my rides and walks, sleep et cetera, but always in fear of the battery giving out. So I looked to Garmin. I haven't quite gotten the 11 days battery, that is really just in smart phone mode. But I do get multiple days with this one, I've used it for sleep tracking, heart rate when I've forgotten my chest strap, music, et cetera. Some of those things drain the battery faster, but it still holds up much better than my Samsung. It is not as bilgy as the Samsung, but it is a nice looking sporty watch. The band is super comfortable, the watch is really lite. It has a lot of features, and it took some getting used to, as the setup is different from the previous watches I had.

I have had this a month now and it has been the best smartwatch I have had. I use to have Apple Watches and this is a huge improvement in comfort, fit, and health tracking. Plus it’s cheaper than all the watches minus the SE. I was really considering getting another Apple Watch but I mainly wanted a watch for health and sleep tracking. So it was between this and Oura. I can’t do the Oura because of my work. This has been way better in every way than I thought it would be. My only complaint is the casing of the watch is easily damaged. So if that bothers you I would get a cover.

I needed a replacement for a Fitbit Versa 2. I had looked at Garmin in the past, but wasn't ready to buy a new watch. I bought this watch and will never go back to fitbit or any other smart watch. I haven't taken advantage of all the features, but so far it has exceeded my expectations! I have recommended it to friends and family.
