    This was the best purchase! I switched from the samsung galaxy watch 4 and i will never go back. Ive had apple watches in the past too and this is better by far. The battery life last 1.5-2weeks on one charge depending on usage. The excercise tracking is easy and more accurate. You can still receive messages and use quick reply or type out your own responsss. 10/10!! Im a garmin owner for life.

    Excellent fit and functionality! I love all the watch faces so you can have the customization of your choice. Also the ability to create your own with linked apps. The amount of activities and fitness tracking capabilities are the stand out of a garmin watch however, and the vivoactive 5 is a testament to that!
