Love the battery life on this and the sleep score,it’s got a lot of nice features,keep it up garmin!

Still not so sure on the 5. I had the 4 and I loved it but, the battery wasn’t holding so I wanted a new one. The battery life is great on the 5. The look is great. It is smaller than the 4, which I like. It does all the same things as the 4. There is some question on the syncing that I am not so sure about yet. Jury is still out on this one.

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.

Easy to use very accurate my wife loves it Elegant too

There are a few software and hardware issues that keep me from giving this 5 stars. But overall, it's been a good replacement for my Fitbit Charge 4. Software - it doesn't do as good a job at recognizing steps when I'm pushing a lawnmower or similar, as the Fitbit did. But it does record distance (which may be less relevant, as I'm not focused on distance for fitness). It also doesn't seem to recognize the need for additional hydration when I'm using the golf app. My typical hydration needs are 2 quarts per day. When I use a walking app to track lawn work, it shows that additioal hydration need for the day. But when I use the golf app for golf, it don't recognize the additional hydration need. Even though I've got an elevated heart rate and breathing rate going. I'm pushing a cart, so it's not seeing those steps. Hardware - I don't get anywhere near the advertised duration between charges - it's under a week for the way I use it. I wish there was a way to turn off the on-board GPS (which seems to take a lot of battery) for exercises where it's not needed (lawn work, etc.). I like a lot of the information provided. I'm not sure about the accuracy of either this or the Fitbit it replaced for sleep tracking - but it does seem consistent within itself, not with the Fitbit.

Ive had this for 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. All of the options for excersise and the app is great, you don't need to pay for anything on the app if you don't want to and is still beneficial to whatever you use this watch for. The battery life is also amazing I've only jad to charge this once so far and its still going strong.

A little difficult to navigate, but looks good and has long battery life.

I bought it to track heart activity, oxygen, sleep patterns/health and to have a vibrating alarm. I use it to achieve zone 2 aerobic activity as well - so, have to touch it and swipe to see it while exercising. Seems to do the things i want and probably things I don’t care so much about. Wish you could zoom in on charts, but not a big deal. Takes some practice and video watching to figure out how to use it. Same for app, not all of it is intuitive. After a week or so starts to be second nature.

I bought this Garmin for my wife. She loves the color and stylishness of it. After familiarizing myself with it, I think this will be fantastic for fitness. It is intuitive and the charge lasts good. I wear a Samsung 7 and I think this compares favorably.

Got this at a nice Best Buy discount because the Vivoactive 6 was recently released. Still has lots of great features and should be current with Garmin updates. Silky soft band is comfortable to wear at night, syncs with my Android phone and Garmin web app on my laptop as well as Chronometer. Nice size for my small wrist. 4 stars because the music feature doesn't include SiriusXM, and because frequent updates sometimes cause rapid battery drain until I reset the watch but keep my data.

The staff was very accommodating and understood my disappointment with my first purchase of this exact Garmin smartwatch a week prior. The watch malfunctioned on multiple occasions during the week and they took it back, granting me a gift card so that I could either get a new one of that model or something else. I went with the same model (for my husband), however; I rated 4 stars because although the Watch is working great; there was no charging cord in the package! We will be going back to best buy to get a watch charger this weekend.

Love the Garmin watch. I use to have a Fitbit, and this is so much better than a Fitbit. Also, it was on sale for $50 off. It is working so well. It is everything that a Garmin Watch should be. It has a very long battery life and all the functions that I want. Not disappointed. Great purchase.

I got this for my fiance for his birthday this year, and he loves it! This watch is such a great value - good price and lots of insightful features for general health and fitness! Highly recommend!

The Garmin vivoactive 5 is perfect for me. I workout; it tracks calories, intensity, and more. I set goals for steps and stairs, and it keeps me on task. When I play pickleball, the vivoactive 5 lets me know how many calories I burn. The connectivity to my iphone and WhatsApp is very helpful to me. I recommend it highly!

Excellent replacement for the vivoactice 2. The battery life is excellent, it has only been charged once in 5 days. So far we have only had it since Christmas, so 5 days. He only misses the watch face from his previous Garmin.

Primarily purchased for golf, Love the long battery life and GPS features. Unexpectedly good fitness features but hope for BP and blood suger tracking on later models.

Great battery life, way better in comparison to the Apple Watch. It is day five since the last charge and currently at 49%. Great fitness tracking. The only drawback is not being able to reply text back on the watch itself

The battery life is insane! I used to have an Apple Watch and it didn't last the day. My Garmin lasts a week and a half! Does a great job with tracking steps, heart rate, sleep, and other stuff. Def worth the purchase.

Easily competes with my previous apple watch. It even appears to have more accurate tracking and the battery life is awesome!

what I like is it has a long battery life tracks my sleep patterns, I work in construction and so far is holding up
