nice watch
Vivosmart 5 does all I need it to do, when I don't want my chunky Fenix watch on my wrist. Smart & sleek.

Issue with synchronizat of the data
I do not recommend this watch. I purchased it in August 2025, and it worked normally then. On October 25th, 2025, it stopped syncing data to the app, and I could no longer track my activities or steps. I followed all the steps to make it work, unfortunately it did not work.

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...

Awesome, not uncomfortable to wear at all
I have been wearing this for about three months now and my biggest concern was it was going to be uncomfortable around my wrist, cause it’s kind of big compared to the Fitbit that Inspira 3. The problem with the Fitbit was the actual interface on the watch was horrible. You couldn’t do anything with it. It’s the opposite with the Garmin. It’s totally useful even though ...

Small,compact device
I was looking forward to this since Garmin stopped making the previous model which I honestly preferred because it was slightly bigger and easier to navigate.
Somehow no matter how many flights of stairs I walk, it’s not reflected in the stats.
For me, this is a case of “if it’s not broken don’t fix it!”

Great Features - Powerful!
I bought this a month ago and so happy I did! Extremely powerful and quiet motor, love how it all ties into my Garmin Echomap ultra 2 graphs. Extremely user friendly.

Great Features & quiet
The Force Trolling motor has a strong motor and pulls my boat at 3 uphill at the highest speed! Fast response and strong. Best Trolling motor I've ever purchased hands down!

Short Battery life.
The features are great, but the battery life is a problem. It was easy to sync with my cellphone.

Love updates
Love my new Garmin! The updates are awesome and battery life is still wonderful. Only thing is I have small wrists and I wish the band/ face itself were just slightly smaller. Otherwise love it and will buy in the future.

Perfect for me!
I had been wearing Vivofit trackers for many years and they were great but recently I felt the need to make a change and upgrade to the Vivosmart ones. This Vivosmart 5 is my first in the line and I have to say I really love it. So many features and so easy to use! The extra functions and ease of charging the unit have made me a happy believer right out of the gate!
