I had been a longtime Fitbit user but was ready for an upgrade. I’d read about Garmin for some time and I’m glad I made the switch. There’s way more features and it gives me great insights. The only thing is that I’m use to having an average resting heart rate after every night of sleep, this watch only gives 7 week averages which doesn’t help me. I’m still trying to figure out how to get a general RHR per day as it is important for my heart monitoring.

I have had the watch about a month so still trying to figure out all it is capable of. Love the look, it announced my mileage and pace every mile, screen easy to read and so much more. The one thing that I have noticed that is diff is that it deletes your run with no "are you sure you want to delete" so you need to be careful as the screen is touch and super sensitive. But overall, LOVE it so far!!!

I upgraded from a Vivoactive 3 to the Vivoactive 5. So far i am pleased with the additional features with the exception of capturing sleep data, some nights it works but most nights it does not. I have tried numerous suggestions without success. aside from this all else functions without error.

Had issues navigating certain things with the watch but also couldn’t navigate back to where I was. Watch wouldn’t work. The system shut down. Watched video several times and that didn’t help either because what they suggested wouldn’t work on where I wanted to go on certain things. The system kept going back to where I didn’t want to go so I gave up. And shut the watch off and restarted it. And hoping that would fixed the issue but that did cortex the problem either. And the other issue I was trying to see about downloading for if u fell inside the house and it wouldn’t allow me to do this either. And if u loose the watch u we’re supposed to be able to get hold of finding your watch with your phone did not work either. But I did like the watch the color was beautiful. The buttons killed my fingers it bruised my fingers because of so many times of having to navigate the buttons to push because of having change certain changes on the watch. My fingers are very tender I would not recommend these watches for Elderly people especially if they have navigate the buttons all the time. I would recommend Garmin looking into making Watches for Elderly people a little easier to navigate there watches for us. Thanks

I have had to call Garmin for help at least four times, support was excellent. Even with the help I continue to struggle with the simple task of “ Power Off”. I find it very difficult to scroll down to get to Power Off. The manual is not helpful at all. I am fortunate that I only need the watch to monitor my vitals. That activity is working very well. Not sure what several of the functions are such as Body Battery. Overall all I am satisfied.

I bought this as a Christmas gift to myself. Very easy to set up. I get 5 to 7 battery life which I love. I originally wanted samsung watch but read that it had to be charged daily and battery life is important to me. I love the look and faces on the watch. Seems very accurate. This watch does not disappoint

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 received this for a gift and couldn't be happier. I get all the information I need for my health and fitness. The information is accurate and up to date. I also like the round and easy to read size of the watch. The charge lasts longer, and when it needs charging, it's fast.

After a disappointing experience with the Tactical Instinct Solar x2. I decided to get rid of it for the following reasons. It was terrible. Inaccurate, Black & White screen, too many buts required to setup and operate. Way over priced!! I choose this model 5 Vivo Active for several reasons. 1. Past models 3 and 4 were very good watches and Garmin stood behind them. 2. Color screen I can see. 3. Easy to operate and setup 4. Features, multiple watch faces, and increased activity’s. 5. Accurate information distance and mileage, steps etc. 6. Cost is not bad unlike the Instinct 7. Durability and fast response downloading. My only complaints it is not text comparable with my I Phone like the new model VA6. No storage or ability to respond to text. The bezel is smaller than the VA4 I would prefer a larger watch face.

Got my Garmin a week ago. One feature I like is long battery life and bright display
