I bought vivoactive 5 to replace my vivoactive 4s, because the battery was lasting each day less (after 2 yrs). I have the same features and the battery does not long more than 4 days. Not worth the money for this. I will keep it only because it has a beautiful design!

It sometimes feels like the measurements are off. Obviously, with a wrist watch things won't be 100% accurate all the time so I still give it 5 stars. I wonder if I need to calibrate it to maybe correct it. The battery lasts so much longer than my previous watch so I'm already impressed. The customization is quite extensive as well. I changed clock faces, edited my short cuts and even downloaded another app for my watch. The store seems a little confusing but I just need more time on it to understand it. Tldr: good watch, needs some improvements in the measurements aspect(or mine needs calibration if that's even a thing), battery lasts quite a while, customization is great

I have had my watch about a month, I love it. I did some research since I was coming from a different big brand. Due to my battery depleting quicker I decided to look at the new ones, they had poor battery reviews. I knew of the Garmin watches and started to look around. They boasted good battery life and were packed with the features I was already utilizing. It wasn't a hard decision, it is a great watch.

This is my second Garmin. I had a vivo active 2 before and decided to stay with the same line when getting the new watch. Love the features, track sleep stress and activities. The watch does a great job keeping me informed on where my body is at physically.

I purchased this watch about a month ago. The setup is not hard ,but also is not real easy. The features of this watch including the apps are good, but i wish that they contained more information. The overall operation of the watch is not hard, but also not real easy either. An easy to read setup and operating guide or sheet would be very helpful. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. The watch does everything as advertised. The GPS is off the charts fantastic.

It took a little getting used to but all in all I like it. I like that it keeps better track of my sleep and my steps. It's nice to be able to go swimming with it and it also tracks my movement there. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get my steps information to transfer accurately to my iphone, the step count never matches.

I love this watch with two exceptions. My vivoactive 4s had me sleeping like a champ. My new watch has me sleeping poorly (non restorative). I have taken naps for years, so thought the nap function would be best, but it is totally inaccurate. I round delete the functions if I could. Other than that I like the watch

I bought this a month ago. I love the traditional Garmin features for running. The battery life is fabulous. The health tracking features are ok. The user interface and overview feel clunky compared to other (ring) health trackers. Some of the health information is a little hard to interpret. I like the integration with the calendar and training plans. I have not used messenger or music. I also haven’t added any widgets. Truthfully, it is so customizable that it is overwhelming. I would like to see more video guides on setting up the watch for specific functions. Overall, it’s a great running watch with some interesting additional features.

I bought this to replace a Fitbit Charge 5 which quit working less than years after purchase. Although this was more expensive, it works for my running and golfing and still tracks my fitness information like the Charge. Well worth the upgrade and I am hoping Garmin reliability makes it even a better purchase. I had purchased a 205 and a 310 XT which both still work over a dozen years later

Features are great. BEWARE the watch face scam - if you load the face app you can never return to the default settings without Paying MORE. Instructions mentioned importing historical data from vivo active4 but at 6 weeks of wearing it still isn’t reading my normal ( rx boosted ) heart rate and so over estimating stress based solely on HR. Also this is a Big watch. A little tough on people with small wrists. I wish there were natural fiber / breathable band options - any dampness under the default gives me a red rash. I like the features but I wish it was smaller and used my history
