Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am very happy with my Vivoactive. It's easy to use, no chest strap for HR monitoring. I love reviewing all of my run stat's on the Garmin app. I have a small wrist, and was concerned the watch would be giant and bulky as other reviews stated. But I don't think it's as bothersome as some stated. I highly recommend this watch.

I replaced my old Garminwith this model, and I’m completely satisfied.

I have liked vivoactive due to the information I am able to get through out the day. The only downside is when I have an activity tracking I don't get my phone notifications. Also I have to charge mine once every 4 days but that could be due to the amouny of notifications that I receive in a day. However it does charge quickly.

Full capabilities for fitness and smart watch. Functions work well and charge holds for 4-5 days, even with ongoing usage and no power saving effort. Easy pairing for phone app and receives multiple message notifications. Can download different watch faces. If you're looking for a powerful fitness watch, this one fits the bill.

Bought this as gift during thanksgiving at a great price. Looks great till now and i think better than fitbit blaze

This watch lives up to everything I read about in other reviews and saw in review videos. It does literally everything and seems very accurate. I bought it specifically for running and biking outdoors, but it has so many more functions and features. The only drawback for me is that the face of the watch feels pretty clunky on my small wrist. It might not be as much of an issue on a larger man's wrist. However, despite it being big, it's still relatively comfortable with the flexible wristband.

I had my first garmin for a week when it suddenly stopped syncing to my connect app, and it never did successfully pair despite going through all the troubleshooting steps. My replacement garmin worked for a full 24 hours before it stopped counting floors ascended, so i guess it's at least an improvement on the first vivoactive hr. I'm afraid what will be wrong with the 3rd one if i drive across town to the nearest best buy to replace the one i have, so I'm going to just live with that small inaccuracy. Other than that, it's great for indoor and outdoor exercise. I'm really into spin classes, so i love that this works better for fitness tracking than my old fit bit.

So far perfect gift for a technology lover. All functions are awesome

Great watch, but the touchscreen is a bit buggy. Sometimes takes me to push the light button to get it awake so I can use the touch screen. But overall a great watch and is very good on heart rate and helps me to stay within my limits. Great purchase!!

Last year I purchased the Vivoactive when I started cycling, and I was hooked on Garmin from then on. It seamlessly sinks with all of my fitness apps. The VA hr is totally customizable to fit my fitness lifestyle, the Heart Rate monitor is very accurate. I sink MapMyRide Starva I health with no issues. Highly recommend

Great for tracking my daily workouts and displaying messages from my phone. I use an iPhone but the watch works with Android phones as well. I have used it to run while leaving my phone at home; gps has worked well. I have also swam pool laps and the watch tracks well. The Garmin app and online interface are solid as well.

Everything my husband needed to get his work out information. He also has a garmin speedometer for his bicycle.

I love this watch, very light, and has a lot of features and aps. Connectivity with my Samsung phone is great.

I bought this smartwatch for my wife after she developed a condition that requires her to add exercise to her lifestyle without overtaxing her heart. My daughter-in-law, a kinesiologist,recommended the Garmin Vivoactice HR because it will track steps, indoor cycling, and monitor heart rate. It's easy to set up and use. The graphs/charts allow her to compare data over a period of days. My wife's only complaints are that it is rather bulky on her wrist and isn't stylistically her favorite accessory, although switching to a white wristband helped her overcome, at least a little, the style issue.. I occasionally hear her talking back to it ("Move?!? I just sat down!" or "Yay! I met my goal!") when a notification comes on screen. The Vivoactive HR does a good job of motivating her to continue working towards a healthier, more active lifestyle. It is worth the purchase!

Meets my needs. Mostly walking and cycling. Love the blue tooth connectivity to my iPhone. I get messages and phone call notifications. Also the reminders to move are great. A large number of widgets and apps are available for downloading.

I enjoy this watch over a FitBit. So many different features and settings and even has a do not disturb mode!

In the past, I had FitBits and while jogging outside, I had to get under a tree to see the screens. And, the strap wasn't comfortable, giving me an occasional rash. This Garmin has been fantastic! Much more accurate HR, etc. and a big ole' comfy strap. Can't say enough good things about this purchase:)

Great item! Garmin never disappoints! So excited that this particular product has bands that you can change!

I wanted a watch that is multifunctional, and this one does it for me without additional items I don’t need.

I love gadgets, so I am looking forward to this one. May be a bit big on wrist, but the technology is great.
