    I gave the Garmin to my fiance for Christmas. He wears it everyday. He tracks his steps and sleep. He loves the watch and told me I should buy one.

    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.

    Exactly the features I was looking - fitness focused and not just a smart phone for the wrist. Tracks steps accurately. Battery lasts and entire week, even when wearing over 95% of the time. Garmin customer service is top notch, if you have any questions about your device.

    Love my new watch! My Fitbit died and I needed a replacement. Decided to go Garmin. I am not really an athlete, but I like to track my metrics. This achieved everything I wanted and more. Great value.

    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.
