    I bought this to replace a vivosmart 4 that quit working. I really like all of the additional features it has. The weather, and the faces I was able to download. The size is a little bigger, but it's still comfortable

    I bought this as a gift and she loves it, with a single draw back: the band. Whatever is on the coating of this band made her wrist develop a rash. The functionality and esthetic of the watch are both nice. Battery life is as advertised and the reliability of Garmin speaks for itself.

    I liked the Garmin Vivoactive watch. It's lightweight and comfortable, with all the important features such as GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and multiple sport modes. The smart notifications and app compatibility add to its versatility. The battery life and screen readability in bright sunlight could be improved, but overall, it's a great choice for fitness enthusiasts and everyday users.

    It's a nice smart watch with lots of features for the price range, however the whole reason I bought it was to monitor my heart and the menu doesn't allow simple access to the HBPM, like always on or even one touch options. You have to wrestle a menu each time. The fitness app is really good though. This watch wasn't for my needs, so I went with Withings and I couldn't be happier.

    This watch is freaking amazing. I’ve had an Apple Watch for years, but I have this a shot and I like it so much more. It’s more watch than extension of my phone and that’s where it wins. The features on it are great, and the watch face styles available are awesome; the garmin ones are cool, but the third party developed ones are pretty cool two.

    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!

    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.
