    I love the Garmin Vivoactive 5. The battery lasts about 7 days. Has all the features I was looking for after my Fitbit Versa 4 died. I'll never buy a Fitbit again; they don't last. Garmin makes a better product.

    Really cool device with all basic features you'd need to start running/being more active. I used the Garmin Coach to run my first 5K and couldn't be happier with the results.

    This is my second Vivoactive watch. My previous watch was 6 years old, and the battery was getting a little tired. This new one is a huge upgrade. Love it!

    Always loved the garmin watched. Switched to Apple Watch for for about 4 years but the garmin is so much more efficient. Battery has longer life. I’m fairly active so I charge up about every 4 days.

    Love this watch ! It’s even waterproof. I love the longevity of the battery life as well! Tracks everything important and even calculates health and baseline heart rate. So much more accurate than the Apple Watch in my opinion
