I bought this watch mainly to keep track of my health however, it is not user friendly, more difficult when the button does not respond very well to my presses. I'm still debating to return it or continue learning how to use it. I just like having alternative watch other than I-watch.

Had it a while, but just got into using it. LOVE the amoled display. . so clear. Love the Manual is easy to understand. It does everything I need it to do and more. I really appreciated the out of warranty exchange program. Garmin products and customer service are second to none.

I LOVE the Garmin vivoactive 5, it's a great device. Way better than the Fitbit, which keep being defective immediately after the 1 year manufacturer warranty expired. But I developed a TERRIBLE rash after wearing it relatively consistently. Please improve this issue because the device is a winner.

I have used an Apple Watch since 2019, but their inability to produce a new model with a reasonable battery life really got me wanting to try something new. I'd really like to track my sleep and not have to charge my battery sometime in the middle of each day. My fiance is a police officer and loves his Garmin Instinct and it's crazy long battery life, functions for golfing and hiking! After research I went with the Vivoactive 5 for it's fitness tracking and great battery. My daughter also jumped on board and got the same watch. Unfortunately, I had issues from the start. I walk while working at my computer. You cannot set the watch to count steps accurately if you['re typing on your computer and walking. I even tried putting it on an ankle strap. The distance on the treadmill never matched the distance on the watch - yet it was almost spot on with my Apple Watch. I joined a sub-Reddit and tried multiple different things, turning off GPS and heart rate monitor, putting in your pocket and a few other experiments - none worked nor tracked distance accurately! This might not seem like a huge deal for some, but this is mainly what I use mine for so it is for me. The battery is amazing, sleep tracking so insightful! The interface could use some work and is not smooth, it feels very "android" and not like Apple, which unfortunately I've been indoctrinated to love! Old habits die hard I guess, and so I returned my Vivoactive 5 and went back to my Apple Watch which I have to charge in the middle of the day for about an hour if I want to wear it through the night. My daughter really loves hers, and I really wanted it to work for me, but the distance being off so greatly was a hard pass. Sorry Garmin!

I got this for Christmas and have been using it every day. It's very good for workouts and tracking heart rate and steps. But I don't think it tracks sleep well. Also the screen now has a cracked in it and I have not dropped it or damaged it. I would probably not get this model again

I had a Vivo move hr for several years and it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 1 day. I had been researching other Garmin Vivoactive watches and decided on this model. I'm a senior, so it took some trial and error before I got it set up. Really appreciate how much more information I have compared to the old watch. Also all the bands from the other watch fit this one, so a definite win. I'm sure there are many other functions that I am not using, but happy with what I am currently have. Also, the online user manual was very helpful for setting up the watch.

I originally had the Vivoactive 3, which I liked. I use it primarily to sync with my outdoor and indoor bike riding to include strength training and yoga. Oddly, I like the many selections for the actual face of the watch. I also like that it syncs with my IPhone and Garmin Connecs. I preferred to go with Fenix series, but they were too pricey. In fact, I waited for this one to go on sale. Overall, a solid watch for what I need.

I upgraded from the Vivoactive 3 and I am so glad I did! I loved the 3 and never had an issue with it but just decided it was time for an upgrade. The 5 is so user friendly. The screen is super easy to see and easy to navigate. I love all of the coaching tips. I also love the post-workout information that lets me know how each workout has benefited me and how much recovery is recommended. As a personal trainer I love all of the different training and timing options. 12/10 recommend the Vivoactive 5!

I have always loved my Garmin watches and I was hesitant to upgrade from the 4S to the 5. I personally love that the watch face is larger than the 4S. Easy to us, love all the different features and I feel like all the tracking features are very accurate.

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.
