    It took some getting used to since I have had an Apple Watch for years. It has definitely been worth it for the battery life alone. I definitely recommend this watch!

    I work third shift, which means almost every watch on the market besides Garmin thinks i never sleep, as they don't track daytime sleeping. Aside from that, the watch has a much better battery than anything running Google's WearOS. The ONLY downside is some third party health apps don't connect to Garmin. Want to try Pokemon Sleep? Sorry. But the body battery is amazing. I thought it was a dumb gimmick at first, but it really matches how i feel. I've been able to increase my energy and improve my sleep.

    This is my first Garmin watch after owning an Apple Watch for a few years and the trade worked wonderfully for me. Garmin’s battery life is much better, and this particular vivoactive model is also thinner, which makes sleeping with it much more comfortable. This is a great entry model for those who are fed up with Apple Watch’s constant recharging!

    I love my Garmin Vivoactive 5! The bright screen makes it easy to read anywhere, and it keeps track of everything from my workouts to my sleep. The battery lasts for days, and it’s so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it. It’s perfect for staying active and feeling motivated every day
