    This watch is perfect for someone trying to focus on activity/health tracking. I previously had an apple watch, but it would be inaccurate at times with tracking, battery would die after a day, and was relavyively bulky/heavy. Dont get me wrong, the apple watch is a great smartwatch, but the garmin is a great health watch. Ive had it for a few months and still going strong!

    It took some getting used to since I have had an Apple Watch for years. It has definitely been worth it for the battery life alone. I definitely recommend this watch!

    This is my first Garmin watch after owning an Apple Watch for a few years and the trade worked wonderfully for me. Garmin’s battery life is much better, and this particular vivoactive model is also thinner, which makes sleeping with it much more comfortable. This is a great entry model for those who are fed up with Apple Watch’s constant recharging!

    So far, I really like it.. but, I'm 30 years old and somewhat of a tech nerd.. and I've had some troubles figuring out how to get certain things working on it. The app store seems pretty limited, but otherwise, I like that it's tracking my sleep every night, and setting alarms that vibrate me awake so I don't wake up my girlfriend at 4am has also been a huge plus. OH, and the battery life is WAAAAY better than the galaxy watches at the same or higher price point.

    I recently switched from the Apple ecosystem, and was looking for a replacement for my Apple Watch. This watch does a great job with tracking sleep and exercise, and still shows notifications and other things. On top of that, I only need to charge it a handful of times a month

    I love my Garmin Vivoactive 5! The bright screen makes it easy to read anywhere, and it keeps track of everything from my workouts to my sleep. The battery lasts for days, and it’s so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it. It’s perfect for staying active and feeling motivated every day

    I’ve noticed it miscounts steps when I’m pushing a stroller, unless I manually select an activity mode. Overall, I’m very happy with the upgrade - impressive battery life and comfortable wear.
