Customer Ratings & Reviews

I relly like my new Garmin. The battery life is days, which is great. I get about 10 days or more. I charge before it gets to 30%! Found lots of nice watch faces. No problems whatsoever. Does everything I need.

I recently switched from an Apple Watch to my garmin and I love. The battery life top notch, all the extra health benefits amazing, over all I couldn’t recommend this watch enough. Being able to be in control of my health more has been on the front focus of my brain lately and with the peace of mind I get from my garmin has been amazing. All with the added benefits of being able to stay connected to my phone. But it has also helped me disconnect as well. Also garmin customer service is truly amazing. They are all so kind and so helpful.

First time owning a garmin watch. Works very well for health tracking and monitoring. Battery life is very good. Sleek design and very versatile

Great fitness watch. I had a different smartwatch before that was focused on things I’m not interested in - notifcations, calls, texts. This fitness watch allows me to dial in on health and fitness without all the other disturbances. Very easy to navigate and log the data I want to. Plus it is light as a feather allowing me to wear it without any discomfort.

Works perfect and keeps up with my workouts and the battery life is great!

I am extremely happy with this watch. I switcedh from an Fossil Android watch and this does everything that I used on that watch but much better. Battery lasts for many days, fitness and sleep tracking stuff works great, notifications are just the right amount of annoying.

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a great watch for everyday lifestyle use. It’s lightweight, has excellent battery life, and is very easy to use—especially for first-time Garmin users. It offers a little bit of everything, making it a solid, well-rounded choice for daily wear. There is a lot of customization that you can make to make your watch unique and to your liking.

The display is bright and clear, making it easy to read even outdoors. I really appreciate the variety of tracking features—heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, stress management, and built-in GPS. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear all day, which is great since I tend to wear it during both workouts and everyday activities.

Outstanding watch that is both functional and user-friendlyl. This watch works for every day apparel as well as helping me capture my daily activity level. Top notch product.

The screen is crisp and sharp. It's really responsive, even with wet or sweaty fingers and the physical buttons are really nice. Battery lasts a properly long time, don't remember when I charged it last-type long time. It's awesome.

very good. easy to read and use. feels comfortable to wear all day.

Love everything about this watch. The size, color, and features.

Great watch for what I need. Display is clear and easy to read. Easy to use and easy to pair with the IPhone 17.

Best watch I’ve owned. I’ve had multiple watches like the fruit watch and some other lesser known smart watches. But this garmin watch blows them out of the water. Battery life is top tier. I get 12 days on a single charge. And the health tracking paired with the garmin app has been the best I’ve ever used. Highly recommend this watch.

I've owned a Vivoactive HR, 4, and recently just purchased the 5. Overall, I love these watches. I use it primarily for nonral workouts, walk/runs (no serious training or anything), and most importantly golf. I feel naked when i dont have it on. Here are my pros/cons from the VA 4 to 5: Pros: (1) battery life is significantly better on the 5. I was charging my 4 every 5 days at first and then every 2 days after roughly two years of use. I am getting a steady 7/8 days with normal workouts, notifications, etc on the 5. (2) New AMOLED display is head over heels better than prior versions. (3) ability to respond to texts and calls has been upgraded. Cons: (1) They are getting cheap with builds. Looks like they are making the VA 5 their entry watch, and the 4 was made better. The button are now plastic, and I've seen a lot of people saying it is easily scratched (I haven't personally had this issue yet). (2) No barometric sensor - so you no longer can see elevation during runs or stairs climbed. This wasnt a deal breaker for me, but certainly is a bummer. These watches have a lot of functions and pack a punch if you are active and want a tool to add to your lifestyle - these are just the majornthings that affected my use of it. I have yet to golf with the new watch, but looking forward to any changes they made there, and even if it is the same I wouldn't be mad.

This watch is great, it's my first venture into garmin wearables and i am very impressed. I can't wait to start using the gps functions when i hike. So far, this watch is great! The sleep tracker has so much information, I'm not sure where to start!

Gift. The person using seems to love it. Battery life is great. Tracks everything they want.

Better than a fitbit and apple/samsung watch. Battery lasts for days and it can track sleep and steps while still keeping you updated on phone notifications.

Great watch, battery lasts multiple days and its basically what I needed in a smartwatch. My only complaint would be that sometimes, it constantly connects and disconnects from my phone by itself, i have tried different troubleshooting methods and nothing seems to fix it. It doesnt do it all the time, but when it does, it gets annoying because you keep receiving notifications of it happening. I have an iphone 15 pro, if that helps any. Other than that, its a great device.

I was using Fitbit for 2yrs (Fitbit Versa3 followed by Sense2) until I switched from Fitbit to Garmin after my brand new Fitbit Sense2 had s/w issues(resetting in a loop)on 2nd day of using it. I started researching online which Garmin watch is best for my needs and determined Vivoactive5 best meets my requirements. It's been almost 2 weeks I'm using it and I'm loving my Vivoactive5 . This watch is lightweight. Battery life is excellent-charge it once per week. When it's paired to phone via BT get the same notifications as phone yet charge is consistently good. I visit the gym 2 times a week and I feel it measures the steps accurately compared to Fitbit. The only drawback I feel is when phone app e.g Google maps are getting updated offline, the watch is getting notifications constantly and I feel the vibrations which can have a weird sensation on my wrist and then I've to take it off and my wrist needs to rest and relax. It's expensive compared to the Fitbit but it's worth it. P.S-I bought the Geek Squad insurance just in case(after what happened to my last Fitbit) which should be good for 2yrs.
