Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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!

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

Honestly I went back and forth between buying a pixel watch and upgrading to another Fitbit, until I started reading reviews of the Garmin line. Fitbit lost me by removing a bunch of really important features from their watches, and the pixel watch or the Samsung watch are a non-starter for me because of the tiny battery life. So I went with this vivoactive 5, and I am so glad I did. This is a beautiful watch with a gorgeous display, an amazing 12-day battery life, accurate tracking and comfortable to wear. Plus it has smartwatch features that keep you connected to your phone without sucking you into constantly looking at a tiny screen all day.

I was getting over my Apple Watch and I’m glad I went with this one. Besides it being very cute it calculates your steps more accurately. And the battery life is amazing I could go a week without having to charge it.

Much more then what I was expecting for the price, I am very satisfied with my purchase, I would highly recommend this watch. Lots of features not expected at this price.

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

I have had previous Garmin watches and love them especially to keep track of my sleep and the long battery life, I purchased this Garmin watch for son as a Christmas present and love the color screen.

Love this watch!! I switched from having an Apple Watch to my Garmin and I am so satisfied!! I will never go back to an Apple watch. This watch holds a charge for days, has so many features and has such a girly fun aesthetic! Must have :)

Excellent watch that covers all the essentials while not costing near as much as premium products.

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.

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.

Outstretched battery life (9+ days), good heart rate, step and sleep monitors, and I like how I dan check the weather from the watch. Compared to my previous fitbit, I miss the calorie log feature. I haven’t tried Garmin training programs yet, but it looks like there are a lot of options. Overall, very happy with the new watch.

My goal for the past few years has been to get my A1C level to as close to 6 as possible. This year, I switched to a Dexcom 7 glucose reader and used their app on my phone to track my blood sugar. This was still a pain because I had to log into my phone and start the app every time. My solution was to pick up the Garmin - vivoactive 5 watch. The watch pairs with my phone and reads the blood sugar levels. I now have the perfect combination and can see my blood sugar level on my watch. The watch is also the perfect addition to monitoring my exercise routine at the gym. It uses the GPS feature to track how far I have walked and has many other features that I am exploring to maintain a healthy life without having to go to the doctor every couple of months to see how I am doing.

It's an excellent watch, I bought it 3 weeks ago and charged it only 3 times. I use it all day and night to sleep. Recently I have seen some news of people who have discovered health problems thanks to Garmin, because when used with a certain frequency, the watch will warn you if something in your body is not correct. I recommend

This product it’s exactly what I needed. Really useful for sleep/stress coaching and sport training data. Comfortable and light, it’s really easy to use. I recommend The battery last almost 2 weeks depending on the use of it

Super good watch love that I’ve recommended this to alot of people and they made the switch from any other smart watch

Great watch, battery lasts multiple days and its basically what I needed in a smartwatch. My only complaint would be that sometimes, it constantly connects and disconnects from my phone by itself, i have tried different troubleshooting methods and nothing seems to fix it. It doesnt do it all the time, but when it does, it gets annoying because you keep receiving notifications of it happening. I have an iphone 15 pro, if that helps any. Other than that, its a great device.

Great watch it’s easy to use tracks the main things I needed it for like sleep and exercise. It has plenty of great features for less than fancier of the watch options.
