    Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

    This was my third Garmin vivoactive smartwatch. I bought the vivoactive 5 because my vivoactive 3 had started to have problems with Bluetooth connectivity with my phone. I had figured it was due to Garmin no longer providing software updates for the vivoactive 3. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. Once again with my new vivoactive 5. I am having connectivity issues with my phone. According to Garmin support, the issue is the location of my phone and the watch. That cannot be true. I wake up on a regular basis to find that my phone and watch are no longer connected. Despite the fact that they are no more than a foot away from each other throughout the night. This means a key feature of the smartwatch - sleep tracking - is not functional. Instead, I get a message that there is no sleep data. In addition, I have to go through the process of reconnecting the phone every morning. I suppose if it was just once a day that would be okay. But I also have connectivity issues throughout the day. I will no longer be purchasing a Garmin smartwatch. That is too bad because the fitness tracking and quality of watch is pretty good.

    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.

    Took very little time to learn how to use. Everything seems accurate, except for one time it read my heart rate incorrectly at 140 BPM. Otherwise, works great for the money.

    I bought this to replace a vivosmart 4 that quit working. I really like all of the additional features it has. The weather, and the faces I was able to download. The size is a little bigger, but it's still comfortable

    Replaced my old and dying FitBit with this. Was hoping to get something with more relevant features for me. It doesn't track elevation even though it has a spot for that on the display. Having it for a few months now, I wish I would've just stuck with another FitBit. It's about the same for $100 cheaper than this watch
