I give it a 4 because I still really like this watch. I like the color display, brightness, speed with which it connects to GPS. My only complaint so far is that there is no running tab I can see on the watch of days I’ve attained step goal. Also you have to swipe to a different screen before you can see the exact number of steps taken (no option to show it on watch face). Would still recommend to others.

Coming from a VivoActive 3, the 5 tends to disappoint. The battery does not seem comparable. I get about the same battery life on my new 5 as I got on my 5 year old 3. To maintain a second hand on the screen at all times is now not possible with the face I like (it wasn't a problem or a battery drain on the 3). The updated menus seem to take longer to get to and get through. The physical markers around the watch face are now at 10 second intervals instead of 5. The lighting at night is not intuitive. The brightness apparently isn't capable of going to lowest brightness when on Auto. Sometimes it detects sleep and goes into sleep mode (turning the watch face off which then requires touch to see the watch vs just motion on the 3. Sometimes it doesn't detect sleep, so the watch face stays on. I understand these things are small and nitpicky, but they are quality of life features I really came to love on my 3. I am considering returning the 5 and going back to the 3 with hopes of the battery lasting a few more years.

This product has changed my overall health and pushes me to be better everyday!! I've already recommended to so many people and have already had two people get one!!!! I love this watch! I use it for stress tracking, running (training for a half marathon), hydration, steps and so much more!! I love how it is also waterproof and the battery life is amazing. I used to have an Apple Watch and it always died on me but not this watch!

I bought this watch a few weeks ago, and am very happy with it. It is very stylish and comfortable, and has so many features that I have yet to discover! It records my workouts well;h although it records treadmill steps accurately only- definitely doesn’t add up the miles correctly- I guess I get that with GPS. Also, I have to walk around outside first to find the GPS before starting an indoor treadmill workout. Those “issues” aren’t worth lowering my rating. I previously had a Vivomove HR, which I loved, but the screen became unreadable after 4 years. I think the Amoled screen will be better, and all the features are awesome. Overall, a really great watch!

I got this a few weeks ago and it is amazing. The information it gives you is great. I love that it can track my sets and reps in the weight room. My husband has a Garmin also and he was getting much more information than my Fitbit, so I decided to switch. We also have the scale and the blood pressure cuff. Great stuff!

I have been using this for about a month now. The heart rate seems to be accurate. I also like other functions such the sleep monitor, daily report, gps tracking, and swim lap counter. I do have an issue with the swim lap counter not recording when using the kick board without arm stroke activity. It does not record laps with this activity. Is there a setting for this? I am not sure.

I received the Vivoactive5 as a gift. Charging the phone was easy. Getting music downloaded on the phone was a challenge but got all my songs loaded. Downloading the watch face I liked proved challenging also. The watch face disappears around 11 pm and I can not get it back until after 6 am. There is no instructions on how to get it to stay on 24/7. The written instructions are not easy to follow and some instructions do not work at all.

My daughter gave this to me to replace a Fitbit. This watch has more useable features than the Fitbit had WITHOUT the need for an annual fee. I would write a longer review, but my Garmin just told me it’s time to get up and move. Oh yeah I LIKE IT.

i bought watch about three weeks ago and love it so far. helps track calories and links to other apps such as Myfittnesspal to make tracking and eating easy. good for wearing while running and playing sports. not great at tracking reps when weightlifting but tracks calories and let you edit weight/reps. overall really good. love that it monitors sleep and hydration to help push me to be better

It's a good upgrade from the vivoactive 4s. Battery is better (lasts 7 days), the screen looks brighter, you can actually text on here, see images in your notifications, and it gives lots of detailed info on sleep, body battery, and suggestions for exercise based on how stressful your day has been.
