Asked 2 years ago by Ra8352183.

• A:Answer Actually 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.

• A:Answer I would say you can use the Vivo Active 5 without a phone. I've had mine for almost a year and for some reason, I can't even get it to notify me with my texts and stuff and it's still keeping track of my steps, heart rate and sleep.

Q: QuestionCan you change the band to a different color?

Asked 2 years ago by Dani.

• A:Answer Yes. 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.

Q: QuestionHow does this watch measure stress levels exactly? Is it only determined by heart rate? Mine is telling me I'm stressed literally all the time. Not sure what the deal is. Thanks!

Asked 1 year ago by Daniel.

• A:Answer Unfortunately, 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.
