Q: QuestionDoes it show the elevation once the activity is on the app?(2 answers)
A: AnswerBe warned it does NOT have the barometric altimeter that the Vivoactive 3 and 4 had. I bought a 5 specifically because my Vivoactive 3 stopped counting flights of stairs because its altimeter broke. Imagine my disappointment when I found out they had removed this useful feature! I returned my Vivoactive 5 for a Venu 3.Answered by DaveGar
Q: QuestionDo it have golf course gps. How many courses(2 answers)
A: AnswerActually the 5 has a nice upgrade over the 3 here. Once you have the golf app on your watch and you turn it on at a golf course it downloads the course automatically. According to the manual it has over 40000 golf course on it. I know it has come up everywhere I have been with the right course.Answered by Anonymous

Q: QuestionCan you see and reply to messages on the watch with iPhone?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYo can see the messages, but not reply.Answered by user971674
- A: AnswerUnfortunately, the watch is telling you the truth. We suggest taking a hot bath, putting on some candles, and perhaps a soothing spotify station. Just remember not to press any buttons while the watch is submerged.
Answered by buddhatime
- A: AnswerThere are nylon bands that will go up to 220mm. Or silicone bands that go up to 218mm.
Answered by GarminProductExpert
Q: QuestionCan you change the band to a different color?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes. Absolutely. Has the quick connects that you simply squeeze like a necklace clasp to remove. I have purchased a multi-pack of extras on Amazon for around $16 and change them out according to what I'm wearing or when I eventually wear out the little band that holds the bigger band down and in place.Answered by MalissaD
Q: QuestionDoes this watch need a screen protector?(1 answer)
A: AnswerNot necessarily, but i did purchase several just to have different colors.Answered by Missy

Great watch (so far) and decent price!
Only been wearing for about a month, but I like it so far. I did not want to watch that was too large and I did not want one that was too small. It appears to be one of the more lower profile watches for one this size, which I like. This Garmin watch is the perfect size. Yet to use the Golf feature, but I am looking forward to that opportunity soon. The tracker measures well and it does a good job of tracking important information, such as heart rate and quality of sleep. Selecting a personalized watch face was not simple and some of my efforts have failed, but I will try again. This tracker is priced right and hopefully will hold up over time. I am not overly clumsy, but I still put a screen protector on it. It has been dinged a couple times so I’m glad I did. The protectors are cheesy little flimsy plastic pieces but so far they are doing the trick. Great battery life. I charge it every eight or nine days. Band is very comfortable. The watch is also lite and easy to forget it is on.

Overall good, but lack of features listed
Purchased this for my boyfriend who is big into fitness. He loves it! I enjoyed learning about all of the cool features over the days of him using it, i wanted one myself. I bought this watch for him thinking it had an altimeter and barometer as stated in the features and it unfortunately does not. I didnt find this out until I received my own that he bought me a few days ago. I do a lot of stair stepper workouts at the gym and also have stairs in our house, so im quite disappointed in this lack of features that are clearly stated in the features section to be included. But despite that, I am overall pretty pleased with the watch. You would just think for the price it would come with all the bells and whistles listed and if it didnt, it shouldnt list them. Battery life is great, and we absolutely love the body battery and sleep scores!

Great Watch
If you are looking for a stylish and useful gadget, then the Garmin Vivoactive 5 GPS Smartwatch is a great option for anyone. It was so much so that I bought it for my wife as a Christmas present, and she loves it! It has a slim 42mm size and is constructed from slate aluminum and black fiber-reinforced polymer to be the ideal combination of robust and stylish. She is able to comfortably wear it all day, whether she is working out or just going about her day. It is therefore the best for people who enjoy sporting activities and other outdoor activities because it has a GPS function. It is able to track many forms of activities, for instance, yoga, swimming, running and cycling. This will help her achieve her fitness objectives. Having a heart rate monitor and sleep tracking is really useful because they inform you about your general health and wellbeing. The battery life of the vívoactive 5 is also very good—it lasts for up to seven days on a single charge. This is great for minimalists. Additionally, the bright tablet display is easy to read whether it is being used in a sunny or low-light environment. This review aims to present an opinion on the Garmin Vivoactive 5 smartwatch in terms of design, user friendliness and functionality. This is a wonderful gift, and I am happy that my wife loves it so much.
