Upgraded to Vivosmart 5
It was time to update/upgrade from the Vivosmart 4 to the vivosmart 5. I like the newer watch, however for the same size, it’s just a tad larger overall. Wish it still had the stairs option but did gain a few other features. I’ve had a Garmin watch for maybe 8-9 years, looked at other watches but other brands where just much larger face watch size which I did not car...

Biggest piece of junk I’ve ever purchased
Pretty much only good for registering steps to get my insurance premium cheaper. That’s literally it. Every other feature on this piece of junk is completely inaccurate. The readings for sleep make absolutely no sense. The readings for heart rate during workouts, terrible. The app blows.

It's okay
It keeps up with my steps on regular frequency but some other features go in and out. Just have to go through the steps to reset them.

Good health monitoring features
I was looking for a watch that I could use primarily for monitoring aspects of my health rather than training for an athletic endeavor. While this watch can serve some of both purposes, it performs well for my primary purpose alone. Being able to turn off certain functions to extend battery life is a good feature.

shutdown
I have had this useless watch for over one year. It frustratingly disconnects from the app all too often, and I have to do a complete reconnect. This is difficult as the watch fails to display the necessary links to do so. Garmin records would indicate I have purchased many of these watches because I have to register it as a new watch everything to get it working again...

Great features but I have a complaint
I ordered my watch a month ago and I have to keep pairing the watch to my phone. Therefore it doesn't always track my sleep.

White garmin vivo
It’s perfect if you’re looking for something that just has the basic accessories. Keeps track of heart rate, sleep schedule, & steps. Simple to use since it only has the basic accessories to keep track of. This watch is also pretty small and slim which is very nice if you’re not looking for something not as bulky. It’s a little more low profile. For the size and what it...

Not as good as my Fitbit
I am sorry that I purchased the Vivosmart 5 and some of it is because I am a super senior and eyesight is not one of my assets. My first complaint is that the time disappears all too quickly and it is difficult to see many of the links I want to access.

The best Vivismart model to date
This is the third Vivosmart watch I have owned and the best so far. The features are as good as the too-large smart watches, and it has replaceable bands.
An amazing amount of helpful data, which is shareable health and sleep websites.
A Great smart watch at an affordable price and size!

Love it! So many features!
I bought this to replace my old Vivofit and what a surprise. It's wonderful. I've had it for a month or so and just discovered a new feature this morning-the relaxation exercise. I also love the health insights. I'm glad I bought it it.

If you like glitches, this is for you!
I started a few year ago with Vivosmart 4. Each one I've had, I received as a replacement since there were so many glitches. Some from the device, some from the app.
The device will stop recording many of the categories, primarily sleep, stress and body battery. Turning the device on and off and resetting it needs to be part of your routine to help prevent this, but...

difficult for a senior with arthritic hands to use
Received as a gift. I don't like it. This last year when both time changes occurred, I was unable to change the time as it did not do it automatically. It stopped recording my stats and asked if I wanted to add a new device!!!!

Device good. App&Manual awful. Pay service worse
I’ve had a Vivofit over a year and vivoactive over six months. The sensors work fine. Battery life is good. Customizing displays is difficult/impossible to achieve granularity of data. I don’t use this for pretty pictures. Manual on line useless as is the advice displayed on the watch. “Listen to your body” No I want data from my device and the software. The app is hard...
