Customer Ratings & Reviews

The watch itself works great. Bought it for daily health and sleep monitoring and am happy with the results and accuracy. However, I personally dislike the UI as well as how workouts are tracked. It may just take some getting used to,

I really liked the watch, it meets expectations Garmin never disappoints

Great product, I always love farming products and this is a great every day wearable that does everything I need it to! 10 of 10 recommend

Good thing I’ve bought ! It’s completely functional and helps me a lot Every kind of sports

Great watch and value for all the basic tracking I need! Easy to set up and nice design

Does everything I need it to without exrra sensors i have no need for.

Great product makes it easier to keep track of my splits!

HR tracker is inaccurate when using it for the gym. Post exercise it will say my HR is still in the 50s - simply not true.

The product worked fine, but the band and watch casing caused an allergic reaction. Customer service was great about the return process!

Nice but look a kinda fragil, hope soon release some hard case for this model like the other ones

Already having issues with screen not responding twice and I’ve only had for a month. Found it’s a common issue with this model. Customer service was pleasant, but no estimated time of when this issue will be resolved. Other than that, it does functions well

I’ve been using the Garmin vívoactive 5 GPS Smartwatch for a while now, and I absolutely love it! It’s super lightweight and comfortable to wear all day, and the black design with the slate aluminum looks really sleek. It feels durable, but it doesn’t look bulky, which I appreciate. The fitness features are what really sold me. I use it for running, biking, and even yoga, and it tracks everything perfectly. The built-in GPS is super accurate, so I don’t need to carry my phone on runs, and it even tracks my heart rate and sleep. I love seeing all the data in the Garmin Connect app—it’s really motivating to watch my progress. The screen is bright and easy to read, even in the sun, and the battery life is amazing. I only need to charge it every 10-11 days, which is a huge plus. I also use Garmin Pay sometimes, which is super convenient, and I like getting notifications from my phone right on my wrist. Overall, this watch has been a game-changer for me. It’s easy to use, has tons of features, and helps me stay on track with my fitness goals. If you’re thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it!

I may just be allergic to the material, but the watch made my wrist blister and very red and puffy. Besides that, the interface was difficult to get use to, the heart rate and blood oxygen were not accurate or consistent. I used it a few times when working out and that was the only time it did seem to be very useful. The peeling picture is from 5 days after taking it off. Best-buy was very helpful with the refund process and made it very easy

I used to be an apple watch girl and I hated it how little the battery lasted and how it wasn't really tracking my activity. If you are someone who works out, especially runs, this is the watch for you. It has a GPS tracker that shows you where and what you ran. it has different settings for the activates you're doing, ex: Cardio, softball, stair stepper, swimming, strength, bike etc. If you don't see what you want to track specifically you can add the workout to the watch. For Iphone users like myself you can still get messages and notifications, you just can't reply to them, however you can if you have an Samsung or Android i believe. THIS IS WORTH THE SWITCH FORM APPLE! There are more designs depending on your style preference, I choose this one because it was very soft and feminine and goes well with my outfits, and you can always switch out the band if you don't like the silicone(I believe that is the material on the band). And the battery lasts me so long, I lasted 10 days without having the need to charge

Great — here’s a polished review based on what you shared: ⸻ Garmin Watch Review – A Solid Fitness Companion I’ve been using my Garmin watch primarily for fitness tracking and sleep monitoring, and it’s been a game changer. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it simple to start workouts, review stats, and stay consistent with my health goals. One of the standout features for me is the battery life — it lasts days without needing a charge, which is a huge plus compared to other smartwatches I’ve used. The sleep tracking is also surprisingly accurate and detailed, helping me stay on top of my recovery and rest. The only drawback is that it doesn’t integrate directly with the Apple ecosystem, which could be a consideration for iPhone users looking for tighter sync with their other devices. That said, the performance and functionality more than make up for it. If you’re serious about fitness or just want a reliable, no-fuss health tracker, I’d definitely recommend this

Purchased on release day. New to garmin and loving it so far. Everything is perfect the size, weight, design and color easy on the hand. Love the activities. Only downside for me no hiking and altimeter. But all new features are great like stress tracking, hrv, nap, and body battery.

This watch works great! It tracks everything I want it to track, and the GPS is very accurate. It provides lots of thorough health information, including sleep tracking, pulse ox, and much more. The battery life is insane too, as I can go several days without needing to charge it.

Overall the garmin itself is great it keeps a great charge and works as expected. The GPS is accurate and the workout and sleep features are a nice touch. However the band leaves something to be desired and caused my wife’s wrist to break out. Also finding different or non silicon bands for Garmin watches has proven to be an extreme challenge unlike other smartwatch’s such as apple or galaxy watch’s.

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.
