Upgrade from Apple

I bought my Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. I’m loving it so far. The features take some getting used too, and I’m still learning, but I love how it’s an upgrade from my old Apple Watch!

So far I like it!

I purchased t He Vivoactivev5 when my Venus started taking 2 plus hours to charge. I like the font that actually let's me see and read alerts. It would be nice to be able to get more free watch faces

Only for the young.

I was given this watch as a gift. I’m over 65 years old. I wanted it more for keeping track of my steps. There are no directions on how to use the watch. I go on you tube and the videos don’t show step by step instructions.

Vivoactive 5

Received as a gift. Activated January 18, 2025. This is my first Garmin. Adapting to the Garmin features continues. I wore another brand for nearly 10 years.

Still getting used to it

I've had the Vivoactive 3, and this is a great improvement. The display graphics are much better and it tracks a lot more information. Still, I'm a little disappointed that the 5 DOESN'T keep track of the number of flights of stairs climbed.

I have been with fitbit since 2015 and just recently got the Garmin vivoactive and I'm so impressed with everything it does and it blows fitbit away!! Plus its in my favorite color..Blue!!

Better Than Apple!!

I was so hesitant to go from Apple to garmin and it definitely has been one of the best decisions ever!!! The battery life is amazing! I don’t recall when I last charged it. It tracks my workouts and it sinks to my Strava and Nike running app!!

Great watch!

I bought this watch 2 weeks ago. It has many features and as I continue to learn and navigate the watch functions, I love it even more. Great for the activity tracking and better than I thought it would be.

Awesome all around watch!

I was needing a new watch and was needing one that I could wear while playing ice hockey. Really enjoy that added activity on this watch while still having all the other features I had on my previous Garmin watch.

Awesome watch

I switched from an Apple watch and it was the best decision. There are so many more useful features on the garmin watch. Only thing is I can’t make it receive texts but that’s not a big deal to me.
