    This watch is freaking amazing. I’ve had an Apple Watch for years, but I have this a shot and I like it so much more. It’s more watch than extension of my phone and that’s where it wins. The features on it are great, and the watch face styles available are awesome; the garmin ones are cool, but the third party developed ones are pretty cool two.

    I liked the Garmin Vivoactive watch. It's lightweight and comfortable, with all the important features such as GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and multiple sport modes. The smart notifications and app compatibility add to its versatility. The battery life and screen readability in bright sunlight could be improved, but overall, it's a great choice for fitness enthusiasts and everyday users.

    I have used fitness trackers in the past, but I needed to take a step forward with a watch to do more. I have used Garmin products before and was pleased with them and the Garmin Connect app. So, I studied the products and decided the Vivoactive 5 was what I wanted. Best Buy had one in the store that I could purchase right away. I like the security of buying things there that can be checked if there is a problem and are covered under my membership.

    Bought this for my wife and she really enjoys it. We both were Apple Watch users and when I swapped to Garmin she wasn't on board until she started running with me. Once she started running she realized how accurate the Garmin was and how smooth it is to do a workout/run with. The new OS for Garmin is really good and it can even find your phone for you by playing a tune from it. Highly recommend this and the other Garmin wearables as well.

    I like this watch; however, the screen has gone black on me multiple times already and then doesn't want to work. Battery life is nice compared to my old Apple watch. I wanted to get something different this time in case I would ever switch back to an Android.

    I love this watch. Worth every penny. Great for tracking pretty much everything and also gives you great tips and advice to create healthier habits. I got one for my 14 yr old son and it got him better at going to sleep at night than me.

    I had Fitbits in the past and they didn’t last long. I had a Garmin and loved it but switched to Apple for a while but got fed up and switched back, permanently! Apple is a fashion statement; Garmin is an actual fitness watch that encourages fitness and health. The functionality is awesome and shockingly better than the Apple.
