    Fancier than I need

    It has a ton of functions. More than I need, but I love the sleekness of this model. It's easy to find watch bands for. I have had it for a couple of years now. The only trouble I've had is with the charging cable connection after 1.5 years of use and it freezing on a black screen every now and then. I don't have to charge it often. I do wish I could access some of the features faster or easier (ex: SOS alert).

    Great replacement for Fitbit

    You can actually feel the move nudges. There is a free "Hourly Steps" app that will nudge you at 10 till hour if you didn't reach your hourly goal, and doesn't limit you to consecutive hours of movement. The built in movement reminder is when you haven't moved in an hour, not if you haven't met the hourly goal. Lots of custom faces let you see on your watch what you want, and the Garmin connect App for you phone is customizable too. The Sleep scoreing seems different, and it recommends if you need more rest based on activity.

    Worth the buy 10/10 would buy again

    This watch has helped me become more active and has been amazing with tracking my calories. It’s water proof and was amazing to take swimming. Helps me not miss any texts or phone calls and has helped me find my phone multiple times. Helps me track my sleep and lets me know how my activities may affect my sleep. The body battery is pretty accurate. It stays charged for around a week at a time which is awesome. The screen on the watch is actually pretty durable as well.

I love the weather app and the morning reports with the postive message! I also love the rang of exercise methods, and how the garmin will let you know when you need a day of rest to recover. The watch itself is comfortable and battery life is amazing! If you are considering a good fitness watch, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is impressive!
