    Garmin Smart Watch Review

    I upgraded from my older model Apple Watch to this garmin for better tracking of my fitness habits and sleep cycle. Those features are terrific as well as the battery life. I do not like how offers it disconnects from my cell phone even if it is just in my pocket. That is it only downfall so far.

    I love the look of this watch. I used to use the Apple Watch and while it worked well, I like that I don’t have to charge this every day. It is a little harder to get used to, but I am figuring it out. I also like the sleek design, it’s round and not square and boxy. I didn’t need anything fancy since I am not a runner, and I appreciate how affordable this model is!

    Not only do you not have to pay for any subscription, you truly find your bodys message. From being too stressed to not sleeping enlugh, knowing how i can help my body is amazing. I got the watch at 85% and it took a week for me to charge it. Super light weight and fashionable. 10/10!

    Unbelievable Tracking Capabilities

    I went into Best Buy with the intention of buying an Apple Watch. However, I mainly used the Apple Watch to track fitness activities. I heard about Garmin being far superior in terms of accuracy with GPS, and overall health data, so I decided to get a vivoactive 5. I have really enjoyed the watch in the nearly 2 months I’ve had it. Battery life is far superior to an Apple Watch; I charge my Garmin once every 10 days or so, whereas I had to charge the Apple Watch nearly every day. Some of my other favorite features: Sleep Metrics, Run Tracking, Strength Tracking (it knows what muscles you’re working just my how you’re moving), etc. I believed I would not like it due to missing out on the talk/text features of the Apple Watch, however I soon realized that wasn’t a huge dealbreaker for me as my phone works just fine. And, versions like the Venu 3 support talk/text. All in all - amazing watch, will eventually upgrade to Epix but for now I love this one.

    Purchased this for my boyfriend who is big into fitness. He loves it! I enjoyed learning about all of the cool features over the days of him using it, i wanted one myself. I bought this watch for him thinking it had an altimeter and barometer as stated in the features and it unfortunately does not. I didnt find this out until I received my own that he bought me a few days ago. I do a lot of stair stepper workouts at the gym and also have stairs in our house, so im quite disappointed in this lack of features that are clearly stated in the features section to be included. But despite that, I am overall pretty pleased with the watch. You would just think for the price it would come with all the bells and whistles listed and if it didnt, it shouldnt list them. Battery life is great, and we absolutely love the body battery and sleep scores!

    This watch is amazing and weirdly accurate! Only downside is that it does scratch easy so be careful.

    Great watch, so many cool features. Tons of pre downloaded workouts, takes out all the planning for you. Just scroll through the list of different types of work, cardio, strength, hiit, running, the list goes on. Great watch for the beginner and for the advanced. 12 day battery life, 21 day on power saving mode. Garmin vivo active 5 truly delivers
