I think this is my 4th Garmin and I love this one the best. They continue to refine the coaching helps, the brightness of the display is second to none (which I am thankful for as I get older), it’s the lightest one I’ve had so I don’t mind wearing it while I sleep so I can track sleep trends and it’s not as expensive as some of the other models. I use it primarily for running, golf and walking.

It surprises me that there is not an easy way (or free app) for capturing my gym membership details since this is the primary activity why I bought this watch. My former Galaxy3 had this useful capability. Otherwise it's a good-value watch for workouts and health data.

I've had my Vivoactive 5 for a few weeks. The first charge lasted 10+ days and when I did have to recharge it went from 3% to 100% in 90 minutes. I moved from a different brand of smart watch and noticed the step counted seems to be more accurate than my old watch. But the main selling point for me was the disc golf app and how easily it interfaces with Udisc so I can keep score on the watch instead of fishing my phone out of the bag after every hole. I could type more, but my Garmin Vivoactive 5 just reminded me that it is time to get up and move to be more active.

Watch works very well. The touch screen is annoying at times. The buttons were better. The brightness of the display is great. The functions are very useful for tracking your health. I replaced the band on day two with a nylon one. Less chaffing on the wrist.

I had a vivoactive 3 and it was not holding much of a charge and I was having an issue with the button on the side. I like the buttons better on the 5. I also really like the lightness of the watch compared to the 3. The sleep functions are way different and I love it. Also, I like the fitness options. I'm very satisfied with the 5.

I got this watch a month ago and have really enjoyed all it's features. It's easy to use and comfortable on my wrist. I like all the options for workouts. Also, I really appreciate the body battery and recovery features. I'm very happy with my purchase. Garmin make a great watch!

I really like this watch. It looks good on my wrist, easy to read in the sun, and does all the basics well. Two small quibbles: I was able to download music and listen but cannot track a run and listen at the same time. I had hoped to be able to leave my phone behind but can’t yet. Second I got a small scratch on the bezel and crystal via a relatively knock. I wish the materials were a little more scratch resistant.

Love how long the battery life lasts on it. I also love the always on feature. I like how it tracks my sleep and coaches me on how to sleep better. The only thing that I sometimes find a little annoying is the touch screen is not that good. Responses will also sometimes be laggy. But other than that I would highly recommend this product!!

I've been wearing this watch for about a month. I like the features, though I've turned off the little "nag" features. I wanted to keep an eye on my workouts and this satisfied that requirement. I also like the ability to see notifications from my phone, without the need to use the watch to respond.

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
