Outstanding battery life I have charged it once since I received it a week ago and still shows 46% battery life. Nice features like putting a photo from your library on the screen interface. You see your favorite photo as background your steps heart rate time and date on screen or how you want it configured. Easy learning curve as well.

I made the switch from Fitbit to Garmin for a couple of reasons. 1. I wanted to be able to swim and track it. 2. I had a lot of problems with Fitbits not working all the time or just falling apart. The data tracking on this is a bit overwhelming at first but I'm getting used to it. I love that I can change the watch face to almost anything I want. If its in the Garmin IQ store then thats all you need. I haven't used the GPS tracking feature yet. Sleep tracking is still a bit early for me to judge as well. Fitbit might have a slight edge there. HR tracking seems to be abput the same as Fitbit. It has a move reminder feature that is nice. I definitely prefer this over my previous fitness trackers.

Nice watch/activity tracker. Does everything I wanted and then some. Would have given 5 stars but the face is just a tad thick...

Has wifi, gps, calorie counter, heart and sleep monitor built in, activity tracker. Everything you really need in an activity watch. Plus phone noitifications

This watch does it all. And you don't need anything else on but the watch. Track your sleep, track your bike ride and track your calories burned.

for husband and he read information and talked to several people that owned this item. all good reviews and he chose the newest model. then happened to find this model for an incredible price and decided to try this one.

This is a very good product. My only complaint is that the backlight is very dim. Other than that it notifies you of messages and emails while tracking various workouts.

My issue was my iphone which needed an upgrade when I downloaded everything works great. Garmin’s new user interface in the app is fantastic. Couldn’t be happier

Was hesitant to switch to this watch from my Fitbit Charge 2. I wanted something that could get wet and could track my swimming. It has met all my expectations so far. My only issue is that it does not always count the stairs climbed correctly but neither did the Fitbit. Very pleased with all of the different exercise tracking options. Was concerned about the bigger size but it has yet to be an issue.

This Garmin Vivoactive is a great activity tracker. The battery last a long time and charges quickly.

I have now had this unit for over a year and still love it. Batter life is amazing as I average about 10 days between charges even with occasional GPS tracking. When I don't use any GPS I get 14 days on one charge. If you're on the fence with this watch or another "major brand" do yourself a favor and don't hesitate. This is my go to tracker for everything from Running, hiking, biking and more.

This is a great watch for any fitness seeker, whether you're a beginner or intermediate. This smart fitness watch is easy to use, has nearly every sport recorder and does the job well. I compared Fitbit to Garmin and Garmin has a better pulse and sleep monitor. Garmin has been making sports watches and GPS for decades period Fitbit is half bit and doesn't have GPS.

Bought this for my Dad who suffers from A-Fib. He's able to monitor his heart rate at all times, even while sleeping. It has more advanced options than most fitness trackers.

Bought this for my college aged son to replace his Fitbit. He loves the functionality are wearability of this product.

Love my new sport watch. Wore to my water aerobics class and we walked a mile. Tracking my sleep and learning about where I need to improve. Recommend this fitness watch especially if you are seeking a multi sport tracker. Best Buy did a great job with referring me to this watch. Thanks

It's so helpful for those starting to set healthier lifestyle

It’s been a great choice because our son is a runner and a swimmer!

I've been a Vivó fan ever since it first came out and I've had just about every version of it. I had my eye on this one for a while before I finally bought it. And let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint! Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just wanting to get started, this is a great tool. Step, floor, and calorie counter. With BT connectivity, it allows you to control only the necessary aspects of your phone when you're working out - music, phone calls, and messages. I don't even have to pull my phone out! What I like most about it is is that it only has what you need so navigating through the system isn't overwhelming. A friend who has an Apple Watch gets so frustrated because of all he has to go through just to get set up for a workout. I absolutely love my watch!

This is the 3rd Garmin product I have used to track steps, heartbeat, and other activities. It by far is the best one of the three and I would highly recommend it for those who want to track a variety of activities.

It isn't a terrible watch and it is a great activity tracker, but it's smart functions need lots of improvement. It seems to mostly be a software issue. You need to use third party apps to do basic things like send texts or make phone calls. The apps do not work well and often, after basic software updates, do not work at all. I kinda wish I bought the Fitbit Blaze instead. This watch is not doing what I need it to do.
