    Love thia watch. It tracks my sleep acuratley and tracks all of my workouts as well. There is also a function on the watch that has workoits thay you can do. Can text on the watch but cant call. Thay would be the only downfall.

    Good alternative to an Apple Watch. Purchased more for the fitness aspects than communication ( texting, etc). It doesn’t disappoint. Steps and heart rate monitors are accurate. Would recommend if you are looking for a good fitness watch that isn’t Apple or Google based

    Tracks my sleep and exercise perfect! Been training for a marathon and I love that it shows me the heart rate zones I am in. This is so much better than the fit bit and apple watch.

    Excellent fit and functionality! I love all the watch faces so you can have the customization of your choice. Also the ability to create your own with linked apps. The amount of activities and fitness tracking capabilities are the stand out of a garmin watch however, and the vivoactive 5 is a testament to that!

    I have vivo 3 and 4 this is an definate upgrade over both I still like the vivo 4 in some aspects but you cannot go wrong I just wish they had a bigger size but I put a after market metal band and changed the look for the better in my opinion it's light the metal band gave it a little weight

    Really good tracker, has lots of features, allows me to set an activity so that my steps are not counted when I am driving the school bus, I just wish they would add driving as an activity so that it would show as the correct activity. But all in all great watch and tracker. It shouldn't have taken me so long to come back to Garmin.

    This was the best purchase! I switched from the samsung galaxy watch 4 and i will never go back. Ive had apple watches in the past too and this is better by far. The battery life last 1.5-2weeks on one charge depending on usage. The excercise tracking is easy and more accurate. You can still receive messages and use quick reply or type out your own responsss. 10/10!! Im a garmin owner for life.
