Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Bought this wife for my watch and she really likes it. Really easily accessible watch with great app capability. Only downside is Pulse Ox drains battery life and the original band rubs the wrist and burns.

Love the features this watch offers. It’s a nice alternative that focuses on health as opposed to being another cell phone on your wrist.

I upgraded to this Garmin from a Fitbit of a similar capability level; this is a far superior device, in every way. The user interface is far more intuitive on the watch itself. The app is also better in every way. If I had to pick one thing that makes this a 4-star watch and not a 5-star is the charge length of the watch. It needs charged every 4-5 days tops, though it is advertised to last a week or more... definitely not the case. Otherwise, it is great and I still recommend! Final thought: definitely buy the clip on screen protectors available on Amazon. Worth it!

Still getting to know the watch, but after 5 weeks it has done everything I wanted it to. The GPS/run mode is very accurate (even without having my phone on the run) and the post run report is full of great data. Morning report is helpful and the ability to check texts quickly on my watch means I am reaching for my phone less and less. Battery life is still really good. Only charge it every 6 days.

Love wearing this watch to keep track of my steps, sleep, and it displays my blood sugar levels from my dexcom g7. I only have to charge it once a week. So lightweight I often forget it’s even there. Bought a screen protector because it does seem fragile and I work with my hands.

Easy set up. Good display and battery life. Smaller screen is nice too

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a great smartwatch for people who are looking for a stylish and feature-rich device. It offers excellent fitness tracking capabilities, a bright and vibrant display, and a good battery life. If you're looking for a smartwatch that can do it all, the Vivoactive 5 is definitely worth considering.

So far I like this. No paid subscription required. Bought this to track my heart rate and sleep quality. I like that the clock faces can be tailored or changed. I also use this to check for notifications on my phone. Many options are available that I have not fully explored. A feature to track your movements is available but not required to activate. Yes, this is the same Garmin brand that makes the GPS navigator. For you techies, a few open source programs are in use of this device. The charging cable is USB-C with a specific connector to the watch on the other end. I have a cheaper brand that I barely used. I will reevaluate the other brand to see if I can utilize it while the Garmin watch is charging. Like anything with a battery, it will drain the more use it gets. So far every 4 days on average since I use the alarm, check HR, look at notifications, workout programs and even to check the time and date.

Love my new Vivoactive!! Helps me stay on track with my fitness goals and very sleek

Bought for my 12 year old and he loves it. He is not allowed a smartwatch at school but this watch allows him track his activity and works as it should. Others are jealous.

I got this Garmin as a replacement for my Apple Watch. I had been debating switching to a Garmin for a while and finally decided to go for it. It’s AMAZING. Great price, not too bulky, the battery life is incredible and it charges unbelievably quick. It does everything that the Apple Watch does, only better imo. The sleep tracker is my favorite feature. The only con is that you can’t respond to texts or take phone calls on the watch like you can with the Apple Watch, however, I don’t think that should be a requirement when shopping for a health device. The Apple Watch is a smart watch with fitness/health features. The Garmin is a fitness/health watch with smart features. That’s the best way to decide what will fit best with your lifestyle.

Great watch. Coming from a basic fitness watch it is a little complex learning how to use it but watching some videos should help.

I have had Fitbits for many years but started having issues and although it seems to be a known problem, they could not fix it. Bought a brand new one and same problem. I bought the Garmin Vivoactive 5 and I'm ecstatic with the performance and features, everything is excellent, absolutely no cons, just pros. Highly recommend this for reasons too numerous to mention!

My first smart watch in 4 years. It work great for sleep tracking and heart rate monitor during workout. Battery last about 10 days on normal use on battery saver mode. Nice small design and light weight for allday wear.

Dependable watch for long runs and workouts! I had an Apple Watch before and the battery life on this lasts so much longer!

I used to wear Fitbit before these and I’ll say that Garmin is 100 times better. They are very comfortable to wear and lightweight. I really like how I can pick from various watch faces and personalize the watch how I want to. The watch is easy to navigate. The only downside is the app because it is complicated and difficult to figure out the settings, but I really do like how much detailed information the app shows (sleep, heart rate, steps, etc). The battery life is also good, it lasts for me like 6 days. Overall, I really recommend this watch!!

Great fitness tracker! Long battery life. Only issue is I don’t always get text message notifications from my IPhone.

The Garmin vivoactive is an excellent smart watch for biking, running, walking, weight lifting, cardio, stairs, etc. It keeps track of all fitness really well, total calories burned, sleep score, stress levels and so much more. Syncs work myfitnessapp for a total package. Love this watch!
