    Bought this watch for my wife who was on her third Fitbit, which kept breaking. Her last couple Fitbits the glass face just popped off and they had to be glued back down. I've had my Garmin for years and found the watch to be VERY rugged. Love the fact that there are several face options so you can display any amount of info you like.

    Great watch. It has many features that I like. It is pretty easy to use and has a good battery life. I like this better than the fit bit. I like that I can personalize the face to see certain results on the screen at all times. It’s comfortable and fits well. The price wasn’t too bad either. There nothing so far that I don’t like

    New Vivoactive 5 Garmin 42mm Watch

    I am very happy with my watch. Lots of options! The size of face is perfect for my arm (man) at 42mm which is one of the reasons I really liked this watch initially. It will focus more on health or fitness. Your choice! It is missing the altimeter for stairs but you shouldn't hold on to the stair rails for accurate count if on a watch. You don't need if you can't. Just my opinion... Bluetooth connectivity could be better as far as distance. My watch tries to connect in certain places of my home. I can cut that off but I prefer to keep it on. I am not getting 11 days on the watch battery. Not sure of reason, might be BT. I am getting about 7 days focusing mainly on health.

    Good Fitness Tracker

    I missed having a fitness tracker after my Fitbit quit working & I didn't want another Fitbit. Garmins have a good reputation, so I chose this one. I've only had it a couple weeks & for the most part, I like it. I am still trying to figure out how to track the classes I take at my gym which is the main reason I only gave five stars. The only other issue I have is I have a small wrist & the watch face is huge on my arm. But that would happen with anything I buy.

    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.
