I bought this watch about a month ago and I am very impressed with it. The battery lasts for about a week , The many features available makes the most versatile fitness watch i have ever owned. It synchronized with my Samsung equipment without trouble. Thanks Garmin for making a great product.

I was able to create a readable custom watch face with the information I am interested in. The watch screens are a little cumbersome to navigate and the Connect app is a nightmare to find the settings you are looking for. The sleep score is way off from my Fitbit - I get 70-80's on Garmin where I got 80-90's on Fitbit - probably neither is accurate.

I loved everything about this watch but there was one critical part for me personally that wouldn’t work - receiving texts/calls. It doesn’t play nice with Apple. I returned this and got the venu3S and that feature did work, but annoying it’s advertised on this watch and jt not work. Aside from that it’s wonderful.

My Vivoactive 4s died while on vacation in the DR. And by died, I mean DIED!! It lost full charge in 2 hours and then was physically hot to the touch. Ordered the Vivoactive 5 to be delivered upon return home and I really like it! The screen is amazing! 4 stars because I have a very small wrist and truly wished there was a smaller version (the main reason why I chose the 4s over the 4) or at least offer smaller bands. But overall, it's a great upgrade.

Watch is functional and stylish! Works great for tracking fitness goals and performance and is also good for every day use as well. I wish it had the ability to respond to text messages with an iPhone. Battery life is exceptional, lasts roughly 5 to 6 days before needing to be charged. Would highly recommend this watch for anyone that takes health and fitness seriously. Good job Garmin!

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.

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!

Bought for my husband's birthday. I know that he will love it.

Bought it as a gift for my husband and he loves it.

I am so impressed with this watch!! Well worth the money.
