Not Happy
I have problems with the Vivoactive 5 watch and need to do an upgrade.
The features don't always work correctly, and it's not much better than the vivoactive 4.

New Tricks for an old dog.
2 weeks in and very happy, still learning the ropes. The battery lasts 5 to 7 days so far.

Great Features
I bought this a month ago and I love it! It tracks everything even your sleep and it recommends how many hours of sleep you should get every night and I need to get my sleep on course! I also like how it gives you medals for activities that you do

Replacement for Garmin Tracker
I've used Garmin trackers for years. My last one finally bit the dust and I bought a Vivoactive 5. Very happy with it. The battery is fantastic. I charge it once a week and it usually has 35% or more left.

Great Features and Long Lasting Battery
I had my Garmin watch for almost 3 weeks now and I am impressed with the features on it and I am also impressed with how long the battery lasts before I have to charge it again. I have an Apple Watch and I had it for a few years and I would need to charge it maybe twice in the same day. I still will continue to use my Apple Watch so that I can track all of my activity o...

A nice upgrade from the vivo active 4
I got this watch, because my vivo active 4 stop working and it has been a great upgrade so far. Improved battery life and display. Plus, the new activities are great for me, especially soccer.

My first and favorite smartwatch
It’s been almost 1-1/2 years since I bought this, and I’m still happy with my purchase! I bought this because I wanted to track my swimming (I’m a biker and love tracking stats, but I needed something that worked in the water). I love how it also tracks my sleep and rest, had many options for sports, and can be paired with my phone )no, thanks; I love being able to disc...

Battery Issues
I received this tracker for Christmas from my son. I like all the features, but I had to shut most of them off because my battery only lasts a day. Even with things shut off, like pairing to my phone, the Pulse Ox, notifications and others, I have to charge it every day. It is not convenient if I have to spend time charging it, instead of using it.

Not a good watch
I ordered a vivoactive and after four days of wearing it was clear that it dint accurately track steps, I.e. ran 8 miles and the steps were 13,000. I contacted Garmin support and they were glad to replace it. I Sent it in and 10 days later received a new vivoactive. I wore it two days and the same issue exists. I had an 11 mile day plus shopping and it only register...

Wonderful
I bought this watch after having the Venu 3. This one seemed to be a better fit for me. I am a health and PE teacher and I enjoy running. This watch is perfect for me and my daily needs. Love the size and display. This watch is much thinner than the Venu which I prefer. Additionally, the band on this watch does not irritate my skin. The Venu band severely irritated my s...
