Customer Ratings & Reviews

I actually bought this for my son. He has worn Garmin watches for several years and it was time for an upgrade. He is very pleased with the features. He is a dedicated distance runner, and tracking his runs and progress is very important to him.

Awesome smart watch, I returned it for the Venu 3 because it had more storage and larger battery. The Vivoactive 5 is a very nice watch just not for me. I do recommend this.

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

fits well, long lasting battery. No issues. I like it more than my galaxy watch

Love it! There are so many things you can add from Connect app. Best Buy has me a customer forever after my last experience. The watch battery when completely charged last days! Lightweight and durable band!

Purchased this for my MIL - she really enjoys it and screen is large and bright enough for her to read. Much better battery life than Apple Watch and other Android based watches.

Exactly the features I was looking - fitness focused and not just a smart phone for the wrist. Tracks steps accurately. Battery lasts and entire week, even when wearing over 95% of the time. Garmin customer service is top notch, if you have any questions about your device.

The watch is the best I’ve had in a while. Samsung and Apple provide a little compared to the Garmin watch. Online or offline! I repeat, online or offline.

Very easy to set up and use. Didn't stuggle learning how to use the app or the watch itself. Very useful

Great health watch!! Awesome battery life as well l.

Great watch ! I will buy it again my Douther used it for running

This is a grest product. It provides the information that I need and it is not overwhelming.

Enjoying the Garmin. It is a good item and I am satisfied.

I really like this watch and had the vivoactive 4. Some improvements are the sleep functions and display. The only con I noticed is that it lacks a barometric altimeter, so it doesn’t track flights of stairs. That was surprising and a bit disappointing. But overall I still really like it and the Garmin Connect app.

Garmin watches are the best. Battery will last roughly 10 days. Very Happy

Love this Garmin Vivoactive 5. This is my first Garmin after owning at least 6 Fitbits (like a fool). I was tired of replacing the fitbit Charge 4, 5, 6...almost every year(!) and paying a premium membership. The Vivoactive is comfortable, lightweight, gives me all the information I'm looking for, and does so, I think, more accurately than fitbit. Love you can change the watchface to an abundance of choices. The silicone band is super soft. Couple of negatives; it takes a half-second for the screen to wake when glancing at it. It is a bit more sensitive to errant taps. But the biggest let down is the battery life. I'm getting nowhere close to the advertised number of days, and I don't feel I'm overusing it's functions/sensors. I'm only getting about two (2) days before I have to charge it. Still, I highly recommend it. It's just leaps and bounds better than fitbit. AND NO MEMBERSHIP/FEE!!

Great watch with more accuracy than other brands I’ve had in the past.

Coming from Apple watch I wanted to focus more on fitness super light on the wrist. You hardly notice it compared to Apple Watch. Found it tracked fitness better.

It tracks everything I want to track and is easy to maintain. I am very happy with this watch.

Great watch with a few flaws. I love this watch. It seems very accurate. It also has great features and the app is fantastic. Two problems though. It does not count flights, and I can't stand the charger! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Thankfully it has an amazing battery life.
