Love this watch!! I switched from having an Apple Watch to my Garmin and I am so satisfied!! I will never go back to an Apple watch. This watch holds a charge for days, has so many features and has such a girly fun aesthetic! Must have :)

Honestly I went back and forth between buying a pixel watch and upgrading to another Fitbit, until I started reading reviews of the Garmin line. Fitbit lost me by removing a bunch of really important features from their watches, and the pixel watch or the Samsung watch are a non-starter for me because of the tiny battery life. So I went with this vivoactive 5, and I am so glad I did. This is a beautiful watch with a gorgeous display, an amazing 12-day battery life, accurate tracking and comfortable to wear. Plus it has smartwatch features that keep you connected to your phone without sucking you into constantly looking at a tiny screen all day.

Super good watch love that I’ve recommended this to alot of people and they made the switch from any other smart watch

I’ve noticed it miscounts steps when I’m pushing a stroller, unless I manually select an activity mode. Overall, I’m very happy with the upgrade - impressive battery life and comfortable wear.

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.

Great watch it’s easy to use tracks the main things I needed it for like sleep and exercise. It has plenty of great features for less than fancier of the watch options.

It's an excellent watch, I bought it 3 weeks ago and charged it only 3 times. I use it all day and night to sleep. Recently I have seen some news of people who have discovered health problems thanks to Garmin, because when used with a certain frequency, the watch will warn you if something in your body is not correct. I recommend

Great for what it is, not top of line but still very useful and a lot of features for the price.

A nice intro of the Garmin smartwatches. I needed a watch that was a tracker and this one suits my purpose. I like the gps and so far it has worked flawlessly. This watch recharges quickly, an added plus.

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.

Starting my fitness journey I knew I needed a new watch, even though I had an Apple Watch. I absolutely love this watch! It helps me start in control of my fitness goals. Super easy to use!

Light, comfortable, and battery lasts forever. Tracks workouts accurately and the display looks sharp outdoors. Perfect everyday fitness watch. I actually love it , and I wear it all night and it tracks my sleep pretty dang well, charge 1 time every two weeks

This product it’s exactly what I needed. Really useful for sleep/stress coaching and sport training data. Comfortable and light, it’s really easy to use. I recommend The battery last almost 2 weeks depending on the use of it

Bought this as a gift for my wife she wears it daily and loves this watch and its features. Shes had it for a year and its held up amazing. She works in vet med so its exposed to random scratching and liquids none have caused any issues.

Durable, great battery, excellent activity and step tracking to monitor fitness and improvement. The display is a huge step up over earlier vivoactive models as well.

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 have been a customer for many years now and always received great service and advice from service to sales employees. also your installation personnel are tops.

Better then Apple Watch for sure longer battery life, tracks your health and much more 10/10

I really enjoy all the new features available on this watch compared to the previous generation. For example, sleep quality, Hrv status, recovery time recommendations. The ability to input the amount of weight you’re working out with. The ability to correct the number of reps completed if there is an error. So much more. I really enjoy this new watch and it is stylish too.
