    I got this Garmin as a replacement for my Apple Watch. I had been debating switching to a Garmin for a while and finally decided to go for it. It’s AMAZING. Great price, not too bulky, the battery life is incredible and it charges unbelievably quick. It does everything that the Apple Watch does, only better imo. The sleep tracker is my favorite feature. The only con is that you can’t respond to texts or take phone calls on the watch like you can with the Apple Watch, however, I don’t think that should be a requirement when shopping for a health device. The Apple Watch is a smart watch with fitness/health features. The Garmin is a fitness/health watch with smart features. That’s the best way to decide what will fit best with your lifestyle.

    My first smart watch in 4 years. It work great for sleep tracking and heart rate monitor during workout. Battery last about 10 days on normal use on battery saver mode. Nice small design and light weight for allday wear.

    Only had a couple weeks but so far it’s been great. The battery last like 8-9 days but I’ve only used it for tracking sleep, heart rate, and steps haven’t done any work out with it yet.

    Bought this wife for my watch and she really likes it. Really easily accessible watch with great app capability. Only downside is Pulse Ox drains battery life and the original band rubs the wrist and burns.

    Bought for my 12 year old and he loves it. He is not allowed a smartwatch at school but this watch allows him track his activity and works as it should. Others are jealous.

    I used to wear Fitbit before these and I’ll say that Garmin is 100 times better. They are very comfortable to wear and lightweight. I really like how I can pick from various watch faces and personalize the watch how I want to. The watch is easy to navigate. The only downside is the app because it is complicated and difficult to figure out the settings, but I really do like how much detailed information the app shows (sleep, heart rate, steps, etc). The battery life is also good, it lasts for me like 6 days. Overall, I really recommend this watch!!

    I have had Fitbits for many years but started having issues and although it seems to be a known problem, they could not fix it. Bought a brand new one and same problem. I bought the Garmin Vivoactive 5 and I'm ecstatic with the performance and features, everything is excellent, absolutely no cons, just pros. Highly recommend this for reasons too numerous to mention!

    I bought this specifically for tracking fitness. Everything so far has been everything I have wanted. It breaks down everything I have been doing exactly how I want to see it and gives recommendations for more efficient workouts. The battery life has been great. I only have to charge it about once every 10 days

    I upgraded to this Garmin from a Fitbit of a similar capability level; this is a far superior device, in every way. The user interface is far more intuitive on the watch itself. The app is also better in every way. If I had to pick one thing that makes this a 4-star watch and not a 5-star is the charge length of the watch. It needs charged every 4-5 days tops, though it is advertised to last a week or more... definitely not the case. Otherwise, it is great and I still recommend! Final thought: definitely buy the clip on screen protectors available on Amazon. Worth it!

    This watch works PERFECT with my Dexcom unit. I am type 2 diabetic and instead of getting out my phone, logging in,etc...i just take a quick glance at this watch! My eyesight ia not the best so the variety of watch faces helped immensely!

    So far I'm enjoying the switch to my Garmin Vivoactive 5 watch. it's a lot more accurate when it comes to my steps and sleep pattern recording. Battery life is Amazing! I've had it for about 3 weeks and I've only had to charge it twice as opposed to my Apple watch that had to be charged daily.

    Bought this for my wife and she really enjoys it. We both were Apple Watch users and when I swapped to Garmin she wasn't on board until she started running with me. Once she started running she realized how accurate the Garmin was and how smooth it is to do a workout/run with. The new OS for Garmin is really good and it can even find your phone for you by playing a tune from it. Highly recommend this and the other Garmin wearables as well.
