Unbelievable Tracking Capabilities
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into Best Buy with the intention of buying an Apple Watch. However, I mainly used the Apple Watch to track fitness activities. I heard about Garmin being far superior in terms of accuracy with GPS, and overall health data, so I decided to get a vivoactive 5. I have really enjoyed the watch in the nearly 2 months I’ve had it. Battery life is far superior to an Apple Watch; I charge my Garmin once every 10 days or so, whereas I had to charge the Apple Watch nearly every day. Some of my other favorite features: Sleep Metrics, Run Tracking, Strength Tracking (it knows what muscles you’re working just my how you’re moving), etc. I believed I would not like it due to missing out on the talk/text features of the Apple Watch, however I soon realized that wasn’t a huge dealbreaker for me as my phone works just fine. And, versions like the Venu 3 support talk/text. All in all - amazing watch, will eventually upgrade to Epix but for now I love this one.

I've never owned a garmin before and it's been so helpful with half marathon training--especially with tracking heart rate while running. I also love the sleep score features!

Nice but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from Fitbit to Garmin. The specs said the Garmin is Spotify capable but is a bit of a myth. You CANNOT use this watch for spotify without ear buds. This was a gift, so past the exchange window. This watch has so many functions, too many for me but im slowly learning how to delete what isnt needed. For a tech person, it might just be heaven though.

Overall good, but lack of features listed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this for my boyfriend who is big into fitness. He loves it! I enjoyed learning about all of the cool features over the days of him using it, i wanted one myself. I bought this watch for him thinking it had an altimeter and barometer as stated in the features and it unfortunately does not. I didnt find this out until I received my own that he bought me a few days ago. I do a lot of stair stepper workouts at the gym and also have stairs in our house, so im quite disappointed in this lack of features that are clearly stated in the features section to be included. But despite that, I am overall pretty pleased with the watch. You would just think for the price it would come with all the bells and whistles listed and if it didnt, it shouldnt list them. Battery life is great, and we absolutely love the body battery and sleep scores!

Got the Green one.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GREAT upgrade from the vivoactive 4. I really do miss the size and stainless steel heft on the bezel. The oled screen, battery life and detailed readings definitely make it worth the purchase. Added new wrist bands and a case for extra flare.

Great alternative to fitbit
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the color and feel of this watch I made the switch from fitbit versa 4. I have been disappointed in fitbit since google took over. Its an adjustment gettint used to rhe different controls but a quick one. I really like the challenges in the app that google stripped away from fitbit. I do wish garmin had a better community interaction feature like fitbit used have. overall, I'm glad i made the switch.
