Easy to use very accurate my wife loves it Elegant too

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

Excellent watch. Great battery life. GPS is quick and accurate. Easy to use.

Good watch if you want a fairly inexpensive garmin for regular use and working out.

My husband absolutely loves it!! Bought last Christmas and he still uses it! We snowboard so we love that feature!

Excellent watch. The battery lasts for a very long time and I added a screen protector to make it look like new.

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.

I love it! Nice and simple. Nothing too complicated. Tracks my runs as needed.

Perfect for the workout that I do, I would would recommend,

Have no connectivity to my Samsung phone. After several chat conversations still not resolved. Other apps seem to function OK. Sleep App not very accurate (they want you to purchase their sleep monitor)

I originally bought the Garmin Vivoactive 5 and it was amazing but sadly i had some complications with that watch so i traded that in and purchased the Vivoactive 6 & it’s even more amazing, the staff helped make the process smooth and effortless. 10/10

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.

Great watch. Love all the fitness and sleep features!!

I wear mine every day. It works very well and does everything I need it to.

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.

Really easy to use and did everything I expected of it. I’ve owned numerous garmin watches and they have never disappointed.

This watch is really nice and has some great features. In fact I’m still learning everything this watch does. I like the way it looks and it’s comfortable to wear all day. Battery life is a big plus for me too.

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.

Was a gift to daughter and she loves it. Would recommend to others

I like it very much. I wanted a watch that kept a charge for days. Didn’t have a lot of apps on it. I use it for working out and walking distances. Very accurate.
