    Outstretched battery life (9+ days), good heart rate, step and sleep monitors, and I like how I dan check the weather from the watch. Compared to my previous fitbit, I miss the calorie log feature. I haven’t tried Garmin training programs yet, but it looks like there are a lot of options. Overall, very happy with the new watch.

    The Garmin vivoactive 5 is perfect for me. I workout; it tracks calories, intensity, and more. I set goals for steps and stairs, and it keeps me on task. When I play pickleball, the vivoactive 5 lets me know how many calories I burn. The connectivity to my iphone and WhatsApp is very helpful to me. I recommend it highly!

    Happy with making the switch from my Apple Watch. One of the main reasons is the battery life is so much better and I enjoy being able to track my sleep and body battery. Do miss some of the features from my Apple Watch like having a mic or responding to text but overall not a major loss for me.

    I purchased this watch after my Pixel Watch 2 stopped reading my heart rate after 14 months. Two items that I highlight are standouts. First the battery lasts at least 10 days and this is with daily cardio workouts and 3 time/week strength workouts. The second is the software stability. It is stable and doesn't change settings on its own. I recommend this watch.

    The Garmin vivoactive 5 is a versatile fitness smartwatch. It easily tracks various activities from running biking or tennis to even swimming, thanks to its built-in GPS and water resistance. The vibrant touchscreen is easy to navigate, displaying notifications and health metrics clearly. Battery life was surprisingly good, lasting several days even with regular use. Overall, the vivoactive 5 is a solid choice for fitness enthusiasts looking for something reliable and stylish.

    This watch is everything I wanted in a watch. The battery life is much better than an Apple watch. It also tracks my sleep and other things which is why I chose this watch over getting another apple watch.

    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.

    Bought this wife for my watch and she really likes it. Really easily accessible watch with great app capability. Only downside is Pulse Ox drains battery life and the original band rubs the wrist and burns.
