    Exactly what any runner or athlete should look for in a watch.

    Cheap compared to the 4 yr old Vivoactive 4

    I don't even have the watch and I can tell it is a downgrade from the 4. I have the 4 and NOTHING will beat the always on display. Garmin stands out as a company that produces some of the most accurate watches. The idea of needing apparently to compete with the likes of samsung by presenting a watch that has a colorful screen is ridiculous. I don't care for always needing to turn my wrist. I want to be able to take a glance over to the watch and see the time without ALWAYS having to twist my wrist to activate a screen. This latest release looks cheap. The 4 having been released in 2019 is bigger, more rugged, and refined looking. NOTHING beats the always on display.

      The vivoactive 5 offers in the settings an option for 'Display On'. The settings on the device allow for each individual consumer to set up their watch for what works best for them. Garmin

    The vivoactive 3 was much better unit. This is cheaply made small unit buttons hard to press programing next to impossible to setup very time consuming and will not stay as programming I would not recommend this unit to anyone.do not waste your time

    Software Issues

    Stay far far away from Garmin watches. They have a software flaw and files fail to sync after owning a while, ever increasing in frequency. You then have to jump through complex computer files hoops to try and fix. After a few try you may get it. Mine is now just a watch until I can afford something else.

    No meal tracking unless you pay $70 for another app… Disappointed that Garmin would exclude such a feature in the watch’s app…
