This watch is a piece of junk!
I decided to switch from a fitbit to this watch - big mistake. It takes my steps and sleep only when it wants to do so. It lights up like a Christmas tree when I move my arm while sleeping. I do not think it is accurate compared to what I had before, and now all of the sudden, it tracks nothing. I would never buy this again!!! I'm ready to take a sledgehammer to it....

Great beginner fitness watch!
Pro: I’ve had Apple Watches in the past and I hated them! I wanted a smart watch that helped track fitness and do basic notifications.
After a few years of not having a smart/tracking watch I did a lot of research. Garmin was a huge top favorite from all the reviews but there were mixed reviews on which one to get. I decided on this tracker one as a starting point bec...

Can not Link with the app
I cannot link, pair or sync my Vivosmart 5 Tracker to my iPhone, each time I attempt to find my device, no device is found. Can someone reach out to me so I can get this problem resolved?

Second watch
I had a Vivosmart 4 for several years and then got the 5. It worked great for a year or so and now it will not stay paired with my phone. It's very frustrating to have to re-pair it every couple of days!

Too complicated
I bought this a month ago after I had problems changing the battery on my Vivofit 4. I was told that the Vivofit 4 was no longer available ( by Garmin).
I liked the 4, because it was basic and had everything I need. The 5 is more complicated and has a lot more features than I want.

Vivo 5 is not user friendly
I have no idea how many possible settings there are for this vivosmart 5. It seems there are at least 100 possibilities and because the selection or adjustment menu does not work some of the time, the process is quite frustrating. I followed instruction to choose a larger font so I could read what my options were but never was able to get to the font adjustment screen....

Expected it to be a better upgrade from my Fitbit
I got this watch a month ago. I am very disappointed with it. Despite changing it, It always runs out of charge when I need it most. I’m assuming it’s defective. Disappointing

Great for what I want
I got this for Christmas. I am not a watch wearer. I wanted something simple and small to track steps and all that stuff. I had an older version. A couple things I miss from the old one, this one doesn't track stairs climbed. It also doesn't have its own GPS. You have to use the GPS from your phone if you want it to track miles and such. Otherwise, it is great. ...

Recommending
I was happy with my 4.0 model this passed year so I upgraded to this model and I am impressed. Still getting accustomed to new features and am thrilled that the older features are still available as is.

Bike hit a Tree!
Replaced my FitB*** a year ago. Love ALL Garmin products. Crashed into a tree and the little black watch was ripped out of the band. Could not replace it soon enough. I'm 66 and retired and this watch has me in the best shape ever! Thank You!

not what i expected
this watch constantly blinks a red light. it’s very irritating and i will not wear it. I went through the look up prompts and was not able to stop the issue. if you don’t mind the red flashing light all the time on your wrist then it’s ok but it’s not for me. I’m not a christmas tree.

Nice addition to my life
I was offered this through my insurance, and really accepted it and have written it every day since I received it.
My wife and I are using them to help keep us motivated by primarily tracking our steps, and by receiving notifications.
It has replaced my traditional wrist watch, and my older smartwatch.

Nice device
I bought this so keep track of sleep, heart rate and oxygen levels. The app is limited with accessing data.
Works good, but heart rate limit alert doesn't work regularly. I have it set for 120, but my heart rate has gone up to 135+ and I never received an alert.

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.
