||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I missed the return window, or this item would have been returned. I previously had a Venu Sq that was three years old. It stopped keeping an accurate record for activities. I thought it might be time to upgrade. Boy, I made a huge mistake. This watch is very buggy. The battery life is about 4 days. The heart rate is accurate...until it isn't, requiring a reboot. The sleep tracking is a joke. Save your money - don't buy this version. Let's hope Garmin fixes it for future releases.

Easily lost
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I unfortunately misplaced it and now they won't even let me track it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn't do what it is advertised to do!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sooooo disappointed!! This Garmin doesn't track your elevation! Such a basic function. And what's worse, Best Buy is advertising that it does.

Posted .To record elevation with activities, you'll need to make sure that you're selecting an outdoor activity. If you're selecting the indoor version of an activity--as I've done by accident a number of times--your watch will turn off GPS, and your activity will be missing elevation and other GPS data.
Missing Product - don't buy here
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to rate because their shipper never delivered the product and will not refund or replace the item. Purchase somewhere with better customer service and reliable shippers such as Amazon.

Garmin's Still Got It
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bit the bullet to upgrade my faltering vivoactive 3 (it gave me 4 great years!) to the 5 and man, I'm sure glad I did. Everything is so much better. More stats, more ways to customize absolutely everything from screen photos, coaching programs, just all of it. It has the same durability with all the best perks of Garmin. I wear it in the shower, for swimming, all activities, only taking it off once per week to charge. Speaking of that, it holds a charge awesomely! Also, the connectivity cannot be beat. My old one would have to be manually synced once in a while, but this one is highly sensitive to my phone's location, seamlessly going from connected to disconnected and back as I move around the house. I'm so glad I made this purchase and recommend it very highly. Get one; you won't be disappointed!

Tena's Garmin
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch is not my favorite of the Garmin brand but i like the smaller watch face along with the battery life. I also like the watch faces that you can get. It spices up the watch but it does burn the battery. I also do not care for the watch band. I wish they made a leather band for this watch. I chose this watch because of the name. Garmin is a great brand that I believe puts a great deal of effort into their product.

Great Watch
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch. Good battery life and light weight. The app and all the tracking features is just what I was looking for.
I would recommend this to a friend A superior alternative to Fitbit and Apple Watch
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After years of frustration with multiple Fitbits (versa, inspire 2, inspire 3), I decided to switch to this Garmin Vivoactive 5. I also tried an Apple Watch, but was seriously disappointed with the battery life and having download multiple 3rd party apps for exercise tracking. The Vivoactive 5 is superior to my Fitbits in terms of providing me with health metrics without a lame Fitbit paywall (not to mention this will last a longer than any Fitbit). The Garmin Connect app is great, although it does take some time to get used to it. It's also superior to the Apple Watch in terms of battery life and having everything on one app for my workouts. I love this watch! In my opinion, this is a great value, especially comparted to the Venu 3.
