This device is amazing, the battery has a long duration even better than other smart watch devices. It's really accurate measurement distances and other health metrics

Better than a fitbit and apple/samsung watch. Battery lasts for days and it can track sleep and steps while still keeping you updated on phone notifications.

The display is bright and clear, making it easy to read even outdoors. I really appreciate the variety of tracking features—heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, stress management, and built-in GPS. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear all day, which is great since I tend to wear it during both workouts and everyday activities.

I've owned a Vivoactive HR, 4, and recently just purchased the 5. Overall, I love these watches. I use it primarily for nonral workouts, walk/runs (no serious training or anything), and most importantly golf. I feel naked when i dont have it on. Here are my pros/cons from the VA 4 to 5:
Pros: (1) battery life is significantly better on the 5. I was charging my 4 every 5 days at first and then every 2 days after roughly two years of use. I am getting a steady 7/8 days with normal workouts, notifications, etc on the 5. (2) New AMOLED display is head over heels better than prior versions. (3) ability to respond to texts and calls has been upgraded.
Cons: (1) They are getting cheap with builds. Looks like they are making the VA 5 their entry watch, and the 4 was made better. The button are now plastic, and I've seen a lot of people saying it is easily scratched (I haven't personally had this issue yet). (2) No barometric sensor - so you no longer can see elevation during runs or stairs climbed. This wasnt a deal breaker for me, but certainly is a bummer.
These watches have a lot of functions and pack a punch if you are active and want a tool to add to your lifestyle - these are just the majornthings that affected my use of it. I have yet to golf with the new watch, but looking forward to any changes they made there, and even if it is the same I wouldn't be mad.

Great watch, battery lasts multiple days and its basically what I needed in a smartwatch. My only complaint would be that sometimes, it constantly connects and disconnects from my phone by itself, i have tried different troubleshooting methods and nothing seems to fix it. It doesnt do it all the time, but when it does, it gets annoying because you keep receiving notifications of it happening. I have an iphone 15 pro, if that helps any. Other than that, its a great device.

Great battery life, way better in comparison to the Apple Watch. It is day five since the last charge and currently at 49%. Great fitness tracking. The only drawback is not being able to reply text back on the watch itself

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!

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 delivers exactly what you're looking for: simplicity and strong health features. It's easy to use, offers in-depth tracking across stress, sleep, energy, and workouts, and keeps going for about a week without charging. For everyday wellness and versatile sport tracking, it's a great match. Just be aware that if you need altimeter-based metrics or a very rugged, premium feel, higher-tier Garmin models could be better.

I bought this as a gift and she loves it, with a single draw back: the band. Whatever is on the coating of this band made her wrist develop a rash.
The functionality and esthetic of the watch are both nice. Battery life is as advertised and the reliability of Garmin speaks for itself.

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!

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.
