    i bought this watch as an upgrade to my fitbit 5 because it was starting to fizzle (not record my longer hikes). So far I'm very pleased although some of the displays are not as user friendly as my fit bit was.

  • Garmin's Vívoactive 5 Is THE One To Get

    I bought the Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. I love everything about it. The one thing it's missing from the Venu is the Floors Climbed metric, which has never been accurate with any of my previous watches Samsung Watch4, Instinct Solar, etc). The only thing I don't like about this watch is that the band it comes with feels super cheap. But I did not mark it down a star because I bought a pack of silicone bands on Amazon for $12. Now my watch is a rockstar, feels great, looks great and functions perfectly.
