    My wife got this for herself, and then it was heavily discounted, and then after the return period ended, I learned of the price match policy. If only, right? Still a fantastic watch, and even more so at the current price.

    Beautiful watch! It gives you many options to use. You can choose which options you want to use regularly. You can see your sleep patterns and your heart rate average and ofcourse how many steps. I want to buy another one for my daughter

    I had an older version of the same watch that I loved but I broke it. So i replaced it with a new model and I still love it. Just as good as the last model with a few new features!

    We have been Garmin users for years, we love the features on this watch from a middle school high school distance runners perspective. It gives just the amount of data that is needed for us to increase performance, and the watch was easy to use and understand.

    Great watch, lightweight, fantastic battery life. Love that I can create my own face and that will display dexcom CGM data, although there seems to be a slight delay on that.

    My goal for the past few years has been to get my A1C level to as close to 6 as possible. This year, I switched to a Dexcom 7 glucose reader and used their app on my phone to track my blood sugar. This was still a pain because I had to log into my phone and start the app every time. My solution was to pick up the Garmin - vivoactive 5 watch. The watch pairs with my phone and reads the blood sugar levels. I now have the perfect combination and can see my blood sugar level on my watch. The watch is also the perfect addition to monitoring my exercise routine at the gym. It uses the GPS feature to track how far I have walked and has many other features that I am exploring to maintain a healthy life without having to go to the doctor every couple of months to see how I am doing.

    Great watch/fitness tracker. Bought this to replace my fitbit. Has better fitness tracking and watch faces. Only downside is the silicone band.
