    I’ve been a Fitbit user for several years, and most recently had a Charge 5. When Fitbit / Google rolled out the new app design last fall, I was frustrated by the experience and decided to look elsewhere. I bought the Vivoactive 5 on sale and wow, I’m glad I did! With the Garmin, I can customize the screen how I want. The user interface is much, much better with two buttons vs the zero buttons on the Fitbit. I find the tracking (steps, heart rate, sleep) to be more accurate. Battery life is better. Syncing with my phone is flawless and nearly instant (the Fitbit was super glitchy). It’s more comfortable to wear. Also, I enjoy not constantly being badgered to buy a premium subscription.

    Honestly, it took a little while to set up to my liking, you probably will download 2 different apps, but in the end it turned out to be an awesome watch. Battery life is incredible... Used it for a week, still had 19 % left. Highly recommended.

    The staff was very accommodating and understood my disappointment with my first purchase of this exact Garmin smartwatch a week prior. The watch malfunctioned on multiple occasions during the week and they took it back, granting me a gift card so that I could either get a new one of that model or something else. I went with the same model (for my husband), however; I rated 4 stars because although the Watch is working great; there was no charging cord in the package! We will be going back to best buy to get a watch charger this weekend.

    I bought this for my wife to replace her Apple Watch. She’s very happy with it. Way more accurate than her Apple Watch and the battery life is incredible. And it’s cheaper.

    Got this back in August for my birthday and I love it. HR, steps, etc. so far have been pretty accurate. Love being able to change face, bands, and screen protector. Haven't tried in water yet, just don't want to take a chance.

    Love the Garmin watch. I use to have a Fitbit, and this is so much better than a Fitbit. Also, it was on sale for $50 off. It is working so well. It is everything that a Garmin Watch should be. It has a very long battery life and all the functions that I want. Not disappointed. Great purchase.

    I bought this Garmin for my wife. She loves the color and stylishness of it. After familiarizing myself with it, I think this will be fantastic for fitness. It is intuitive and the charge lasts good. I wear a Samsung 7 and I think this compares favorably.

    I love this watch! Even with all the notifications i receive on this watch, it still lasts about 10 days before it needs charged. I've had this watch for almost a year now, and my fitbits previous to this watch never lasted this long.

    …and it’s been the best thing i’ve ever did the battery life lasts more than a week without charging. my apple watch i’d have to charge every day which it was very annoying… also i’ve heard the accuracy of running mileage of garmin is superior than apple so i’ll be sticking with garmin for now. I’ll update this review in a couple months how things going:)
