This watch was perfect for what I was looking for out of a fitness tracker. The device can record my runs, and bike rides, while also showing my my HR live which is why I like it the most. The sleep seems to be accurate which is helpful. Overall very good fitness tracker. The only negative I would have regarding the device would be the charging cord. I have had to replace the cord 2 times which is a inconvenience, although the battery does last long which offsets that.

I had a very satisfying first two weeks with the watch until the last update. Now a full charge lasts less than a day. I charged my watch 100% before an hour and a half ride and it was down to 33% when I was done. Please fix this NOW. The watch is useless to me like this.

My Apple Watch broke and I was ready to try something new. I looked into Garmin and other running watches but Garmin stood out the most. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of different watch models and all the features in them. I was able to decide on the vivoactive 5 when it came down to price, quality, and features. The watch itself is very appealing and feminine, which I love!

I’ve had smart watches for a few years and my last one was at the point that I needed to upgrade for something new. I decided to try out Garmin as a few friends have recommended it and have said great things about it. I absolutely agree with what they said. Sleek design, no overwhelming notifications, you can still change the bands to make it more you. It’s super light weight. The battery lasts so long is so great! I use it all day every day and battery is still going since day one. I also love the activity feature where you can plan workouts and it also has challenges for the month that makes you keep up with your fitness.

I bought this 3 weeks ago to replace a Fitbit Charge 5. This watch does a much better job of finding the correct time as I am a frequent flyer and the sync function to my phone is much better than Fitbit. But it has so many features and the touch screen is super sensitive, I am having difficulty getting the functions I want displayed and editing them. I am also not an audio visual learner so all the videos are not that helpful.

I have had my watch for only a day but I am already so impressed with the amount of additional features this watch offers. I had Samsung Galaxy watches previously and they pale in comparison. The battery life is unmatched, the accessibility, information. I have never seen a watch track your respiration but this does and so much more. Safe to say I will not get another brand other than Garmin again.

Purchased about 30 days ago for the purpose of health monitoring features. It functions quite nicely. Not being totally familiar with tech, it continues to challenge me in determining and accessing its features. Would definitely buy it again. Quality watch.

This is my first Garmin and it's the best fitness tracker I've owned! Accurate GPS, multiple activities to track and I love the look of the watch and the screen. I still have to learn more about it and all of it's capabilities but I love everything so far! I wish I would've tried it sooner!

This is my second Garmin, and I like it better than the first. The first was an Instinct, and although I did like it, it was difficult to work with and I found it very frustrating to operate. I am finding the Vivoactive to be very user friendly simple to use it's functions. The other part is that being a woman, the Instinct was very masculine and my Vivoactive is more feminine, which is to my liking. Overall, I would say, so far so good. Battery life is always good on Garmins and it was very easy to setup on the app.

Having 11 days of charge is amazing! I have always hated having to charge my watch every night... plus there is no way to get any sleep metrics if your watch is on the charger! :) The only issue I really have is the ConnectIQ app and installing the watch faces - it would be nice to know, before I download a watch face, if it costs money.
