    Won't be going with Garmin again

    band is very uncomfortable and finding other bands that work with this product is really hard, even on amazon. The watch face cracked two months after purchase and Garmin will only exchange the product for 100$, that's half what I paid for at best buy, the features it claims to have are spotty at best, step count seems off half the time, and the sleep tracking is laughable. only saving grace is that the battery does last longer than a week, though the watch claims two weeks but that's only if it's used as a watch and not as any other feature.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love how long the charge lasts! I also love all the features you can get on it and a lot of them are free (like my running coach). I had an Apple Watch, but I love this so much better

    This is my second Vivoactive watch. My previous watch was 6 years old, and the battery was getting a little tired. This new one is a huge upgrade. Love it!

    Exactly the features I was looking - fitness focused and not just a smart phone for the wrist. Tracks steps accurately. Battery lasts and entire week, even when wearing over 95% of the time. Garmin customer service is top notch, if you have any questions about your device.

    Love it! There are so many things you can add from Connect app. Best Buy has me a customer forever after my last experience. The watch battery when completely charged last days! Lightweight and durable band!

    I gave the Garmin to my fiance for Christmas. He wears it everyday. He tracks his steps and sleep. He loves the watch and told me I should buy one.

    Purchased this for my MIL - she really enjoys it and screen is large and bright enough for her to read. Much better battery life than Apple Watch and other Android based watches.

    Awesome smart watch, I returned it for the Venu 3 because it had more storage and larger battery. The Vivoactive 5 is a very nice watch just not for me. I do recommend this.

    I love this watch. Worth every penny. Great for tracking pretty much everything and also gives you great tips and advice to create healthier habits. I got one for my 14 yr old son and it got him better at going to sleep at night than me.

    Love thia watch. It tracks my sleep acuratley and tracks all of my workouts as well. There is also a function on the watch that has workoits thay you can do. Can text on the watch but cant call. Thay would be the only downfall.

    The watch is the best I’ve had in a while. Samsung and Apple provide a little compared to the Garmin watch. Online or offline! I repeat, online or offline.
