    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.

    Great watch, wonderful features. Unfortunately will cause you to break out if you have a nickel allergy. Other than that it’s worth the investment.

    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.

    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.

    I really like this watch and had the vivoactive 4. Some improvements are the sleep functions and display. The only con I noticed is that it lacks a barometric altimeter, so it doesn’t track flights of stairs. That was surprising and a bit disappointing. But overall I still really like it and the Garmin Connect app.
