    I purchased this watch after my Pixel Watch 2 stopped reading my heart rate after 14 months. Two items that I highlight are standouts. First the battery lasts at least 10 days and this is with daily cardio workouts and 3 time/week strength workouts. The second is the software stability. It is stable and doesn't change settings on its own. I recommend this watch.

    Happy with making the switch from my Apple Watch. One of the main reasons is the battery life is so much better and I enjoy being able to track my sleep and body battery. Do miss some of the features from my Apple Watch like having a mic or responding to text but overall not a major loss for me.

    I moved from a Fitbit after my third started leaking water even though it is for swimming. So far, after the first summer in the pool swimming laps, it has done great. The batter life is way better than other smart watches that have to be charged daily. I go about 4-5 days between charging. The screen is bright and the notifications are working like I want.

    The Garmin vivoactive 5 is a versatile fitness smartwatch. It easily tracks various activities from running biking or tennis to even swimming, thanks to its built-in GPS and water resistance. The vibrant touchscreen is easy to navigate, displaying notifications and health metrics clearly. Battery life was surprisingly good, lasting several days even with regular use. Overall, the vivoactive 5 is a solid choice for fitness enthusiasts looking for something reliable and stylish.

    I bought this Garmin watch and she likes it quite a bit. Before she had a Samsung Galaxy watch and she likes this much better. I think one reason is that it's anice looking watch.

    Absolutely love everything about this! The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the band tears easily and you have to update the watch through the app often.. at least I do but other than those, it is an amazing watch and easy to use!

    Worst smart/fitness watch I've ever had

    I've had Fitbit, Garmin, and Samsung (Tizen and WearOS). This was the worst of them all. Likes: nice screen, long battery life. Dislikes: sleep tracker never worked (even on the replacement unit). Several times it stopped recording my 2+ mile walks, got home to "0.2 mile walk with 85 steps recorded." Buttons are awkward to press. User interface is not consistent and is not intuitive. Proprietary charging cable! Screen protectors are hard to find and were poor quality. I returned it. And kudos to Best Buy, their patient geek squad, and their knowledgeable sales staff for making this experience relatively painless!

    Love this watch! Bought for my husband as a gift after receiving one myself. The little watch does so much and is durable. I am a nurse and clumsy so this watch has sttod up to a lot of wear. The husband works construction and it has lasted with no scratches for a few months so far. Only complaint is the band that comes with is uncomfortable.
