Customer Ratings & Reviews

In terms of working out way better than the apple watch! It does exactly what I need. I also love how the battery quite literally lasts FOREVER!

I have had my garmin for over a month now and I love that I don’t have to charge my watch everyday and how it tracks my sleep.

This has been the best watch after switching from Apple! I have really enjoyed the sleep score and workout options they have. The battery will last me up to 8 days no problems, even sleeping with it at night!

Great watch. This is my second Garmin watch. It replaced my old 920xt forerunner Watch that I had for 10 years. Easy to use. Distance is very accurate. Built in heart rate monitor is great and battery life is great.

I bought this specifically for tracking fitness. Everything so far has been everything I have wanted. It breaks down everything I have been doing exactly how I want to see it and gives recommendations for more efficient workouts. The battery life has been great. I only have to charge it about once every 10 days

The battery life is great. I charge usually once a week. The watch is very light weight. I love that I can review my sleep, heart rate, the weather, my steps, text messages and emails. It has tons of face options to choose from. The price compared to other watches that do the same thing is fantastic. Highly recommend!

This watch has been great. I’ve worn it for over a year and it’s been a great everyday watch to track my activity.

Really great watch, it was a gift for my mom and she loves it, and battery lasts a really long time.

light watch feels great while running, the battery is long lasting and it doesnt glitch like the iwatch from apple. it is ten times more runner friendly i bought 2!

Great watch for anyone interested in health and tracking themselves accurately. Charge power is great and last for days. Must have watch that’s worth the money and still a more affordable option which !

I’ve been a Fitbit user for several years, and most recently had a Charge 5. When Fitbit / Google rolled out the new app design last fall, I was frustrated by the experience and decided to look elsewhere. I bought the Vivoactive 5 on sale and wow, I’m glad I did! With the Garmin, I can customize the screen how I want. The user interface is much, much better with two buttons vs the zero buttons on the Fitbit. I find the tracking (steps, heart rate, sleep) to be more accurate. Battery life is better. Syncing with my phone is flawless and nearly instant (the Fitbit was super glitchy). It’s more comfortable to wear. Also, I enjoy not constantly being badgered to buy a premium subscription.

I really enjoy my Garmin Vivoactive 6! As it’s my first smartwatch, it’s interface is really easy to use and navigate. I love that it tracks my heart rate, sleep, stress, steps, etc. It keeps me motivated to be active and place fitness as a priority. It has a good weight to it so I can comfortably wear it all the time. If you’re looking for a great watch for everyday use as well as keeping active, check out a Vivoactive 6!

Love this Watch. It is so light. Easy to use. Sometimes the battery life dips. But it’s usually is resolved quickly by the company with an update. Strong glass.

Amazing watch! I had an Apple Watch for 5 years and this Garmin is way better! I use it as an everyday watch and for cycling/ the gym. It does everything you need a watch to do

I know I'm writing a review after this watch was released 2+ years ago, but I figure I have some good comparison to my 2+ year old Apple watch. Grabbed this watch on sale because of the price since I moved over to Android. I think for around the same price point as the Apple SE watch, Apple has a step up. First the good, I'll say this thing has amazing battery life compared to the Apple watch. Its refreshing not to have to charge my watch every 1.5 days. I'm not a huge athlete or anything, but I do like to monitor my health and workouts, and this does a pretty good at that. I haven't gotten deep into customizations and personal setups, I'm still on the default face until I get more comfortable with the watch. I have Youtube music synced with the watch so its real nice to go on runs without my phone. I like the morning notifications, body battery, weather, and sleep review when I wake up. Things I'm not a big fan of, isn't not very intuitive, at least for a person new to Garmin. The screen sometimes does not turn on when I tap it, or when I turn my wrist to look at the time. Also, during a workout, its not easy to switch music, look at time, and my progress. Seems like I have to jump around to different 'pages' to get that information, which is not fun to do while running. Again, I'm new to this so there might be better faces/apps that help out with this. I think its a good watch for the price, and offers more privacy than an Apple or Google watch. It wasn't worth more to spend the extra $100 on the Vivoactive 6 from the reviews I read since there didn't seem to be any major upgrades. It was hard picking a Garmin watch since there are so many, but I think the Vivoactive fits me well for the value.

What a huge upgrade from Apple Watch! I was a long time Apple Watch user, but I decided to switch to Garmin due to the accuracy, battery life and disconnection from my phone! I haven’t charged the watch in 11 days and it’s absolutely amazing!

The Vivoactive 5 is perfect for me! I definitely recommend it! The color is beautiful, and the battery life is truly unbeatable. It performs reliably throughout the day and has exceeded my expectations overall!

Love! Very helpful and useful for lifting, walking, running, and other outdoor activities. I love the FREE workouts! If you do use this everyday for workouts the battery will run out a little quicker but still lasts a full week for me.

Bought as a gift for my wife. She is very happy with it, though has only used it for a couple weeks, so she's still learning all the features and haven't gauged durability, but purchased for the onboard GPS tracking and versatile activity monitoring covering her activities. Stated battery lifetime is impressive, much longer than she needs, though she's not tried to push the limit.

I love it. Especially since I used to have an Apple Watch it is a lot cheaper than Apple Watch and a lot nicer than one of the best purchases I’ve made.
