    This Garmin watch is very comfortable and has a very nice design. I only used to wear Apple watches and I will not be going back. The battery life is incredible and it syncs with every outdoor activity and training.

    Really good tracker, has lots of features, allows me to set an activity so that my steps are not counted when I am driving the school bus, I just wish they would add driving as an activity so that it would show as the correct activity. But all in all great watch and tracker. It shouldn't have taken me so long to come back to Garmin.

    I have used fitness trackers in the past, but I needed to take a step forward with a watch to do more. I have used Garmin products before and was pleased with them and the Garmin Connect app. So, I studied the products and decided the Vivoactive 5 was what I wanted. Best Buy had one in the store that I could purchase right away. I like the security of buying things there that can be checked if there is a problem and are covered under my membership.

    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.

    Good Fitness Tracker

    I missed having a fitness tracker after my Fitbit quit working & I didn't want another Fitbit. Garmins have a good reputation, so I chose this one. I've only had it a couple weeks & for the most part, I like it. I am still trying to figure out how to track the classes I take at my gym which is the main reason I only gave five stars. The only other issue I have is I have a small wrist & the watch face is huge on my arm. But that would happen with anything I buy.

    I have vivo 3 and 4 this is an definate upgrade over both I still like the vivo 4 in some aspects but you cannot go wrong I just wish they had a bigger size but I put a after market metal band and changed the look for the better in my opinion it's light the metal band gave it a little weight
