    Excellent fit and functionality! I love all the watch faces so you can have the customization of your choice. Also the ability to create your own with linked apps. The amount of activities and fitness tracking capabilities are the stand out of a garmin watch however, and the vivoactive 5 is a testament to that!

    I had Fitbits in the past and they didn’t last long. I had a Garmin and loved it but switched to Apple for a while but got fed up and switched back, permanently! Apple is a fashion statement; Garmin is an actual fitness watch that encourages fitness and health. The functionality is awesome and shockingly better than the Apple.

    Tracks my sleep and exercise perfect! Been training for a marathon and I love that it shows me the heart rate zones I am in. This is so much better than the fit bit and apple watch.

    I like this watch; however, the screen has gone black on me multiple times already and then doesn't want to work. Battery life is nice compared to my old Apple watch. I wanted to get something different this time in case I would ever switch back to an Android.

    I love this watch. Worth every penny. Great for tracking pretty much everything and also gives you great tips and advice to create healthier habits. I got one for my 14 yr old son and it got him better at going to sleep at night than me.

    Really good tracker, has lots of features, allows me to set an activity so that my steps are not counted when I am driving the school bus, I just wish they would add driving as an activity so that it would show as the correct activity. But all in all great watch and tracker. It shouldn't have taken me so long to come back to Garmin.

    I have vivo 3 and 4 this is an definate upgrade over both I still like the vivo 4 in some aspects but you cannot go wrong I just wish they had a bigger size but I put a after market metal band and changed the look for the better in my opinion it's light the metal band gave it a little weight

    As someone that has been using the Apple Watch since its existence, this is definitely a great watch. I love the consistency and accuracy when it comes to the number of calories burned and the body battery. The only downside is wishing there were more music options to be used.
