    This watch has helped me become more active and has been amazing with tracking my calories. It’s water proof and was amazing to take swimming. Helps me not miss any texts or phone calls and has helped me find my phone multiple times. Helps me track my sleep and lets me know how my activities may affect my sleep. The body battery is pretty accurate. It stays charged for around a week at a time which is awesome. The screen on the watch is actually pretty durable as well.

    Was a gift for my partner, fits her 6 inch wrist, battery lasts 2 weeks and records workouts daily. She really like all the available exercises it can record, outdoor, indoor, and even gaming lol. It tracks hr, stress, sleep score, steps, hydration, pulse ox, and has phone connection features. I have a Garmin too and we can share our profiles, track each others workouts, and we both really like how there is no monthly subscription for its services.

    Fast Shipping. Great packaging. Amazing product- new, and eactly as pictured! Produvt itself, easy to set up and learn (I am a former Fitbit user). I love the weather app and the morning reports with the postive message! I also love the rang of exercise methods, and how the garmin will let you know when you need a day of rest to recover. The watch itself is comfortable and battery life is amazing! If you are considering a good fitness watch, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is impressive!

    I was using Fitbit for 2yrs (Fitbit Versa3 followed by Sense2) until I switched from Fitbit to Garmin after my brand new Fitbit Sense2 had s/w issues(resetting in a loop)on 2nd day of using it. I started researching online which Garmin watch is best for my needs and determined Vivoactive5 best meets my requirements. It's been almost 2 weeks I'm using it and I'm loving my Vivoactive5 . This watch is lightweight. Battery life is excellent-charge it once per week. When it's paired to phone via BT get the same notifications as phone yet charge is consistently good. I visit the gym 2 times a week and I feel it measures the steps accurately compared to Fitbit. The only drawback I feel is when phone app e.g Google maps are getting updated offline, the watch is getting notifications constantly and I feel the vibrations which can have a weird sensation on my wrist and then I've to take it off and my wrist needs to rest and relax. It's expensive compared to the Fitbit but it's worth it. P.S-I bought the Geek Squad insurance just in case(after what happened to my last Fitbit) which should be good for 2yrs.

    I previous used a fibit. In comparison this Garmin watch has good battery life. I charge every 2-3 days, bright screen, love all the stats and workouts available thought the app and then I can add my own. Its helpful with tips and reminders to walk or rest if I had a stressful day. I also enjoy seeing my sleeping score.

    It was a gift for my wife, and she loves it. Light weight faster software and reliable date collection for all the tracking exercises. I recommend this product for people who usually track sleep, loss weigh, walking, energy reading and stress reading include hormones change. This is reflected in the watch as energy levels.

    Great product. I am enjoying using it. This was an update from my Garmin Vivosmart Hr+. I needed a tracker that would be tough. I love the color too. It has performed well so far. I like the increased features with this watch. It not only tracks your sleep, but also how well you sleep. Plus, I got it for a really great price.

    It seems to work ok. There aren't a lot of options for fitness trackers that are simple, yet somewhat reliable. I have liked all of my Garmin watches, but none of them last very long. Maybe 3 or 4 years if I'm lucky. I do like that they don't currently charge extra to use the app. I think other brands have a subscription to view your personal data. I have to reluctantly admit that it is fun to see my texts on my watch. Took some getting used to, but I think it is a good thing. Strange, but oddly helpful. I also am amazed that I was able to put a picture of my puppy on my watch face.
