    I bought this as a gift and she loves it, with a single draw back: the band. Whatever is on the coating of this band made her wrist develop a rash. The functionality and esthetic of the watch are both nice. Battery life is as advertised and the reliability of Garmin speaks for itself.

    I actually bought this for my son. He has worn Garmin watches for several years and it was time for an upgrade. He is very pleased with the features. He is a dedicated distance runner, and tracking his runs and progress is very important to him.

    I recently switched from the Apple ecosystem, and was looking for a replacement for my Apple Watch. This watch does a great job with tracking sleep and exercise, and still shows notifications and other things. On top of that, I only need to charge it a handful of times a month

    This is my first Garmin watch after owning an Apple Watch for a few years and the trade worked wonderfully for me. Garmin’s battery life is much better, and this particular vivoactive model is also thinner, which makes sleeping with it much more comfortable. This is a great entry model for those who are fed up with Apple Watch’s constant recharging!

    It took some getting used to since I have had an Apple Watch for years. It has definitely been worth it for the battery life alone. I definitely recommend this watch!

    Works better than a fitbit. Hopefully it lasts longer than the 390 days the Fitbit did. Changed from two Fitbit units that lasted just over a year. Like the ability to see yardage distance from the wrist, but haven’t tried it yet. Only had it a few weeks, so extra functionality will be tested soon.

    So far, I really like it.. but, I'm 30 years old and somewhat of a tech nerd.. and I've had some troubles figuring out how to get certain things working on it. The app store seems pretty limited, but otherwise, I like that it's tracking my sleep every night, and setting alarms that vibrate me awake so I don't wake up my girlfriend at 4am has also been a huge plus. OH, and the battery life is WAAAAY better than the galaxy watches at the same or higher price point.

    This watch is perfect for someone trying to focus on activity/health tracking. I previously had an apple watch, but it would be inaccurate at times with tracking, battery would die after a day, and was relavyively bulky/heavy. Dont get me wrong, the apple watch is a great smartwatch, but the garmin is a great health watch. Ive had it for a few months and still going strong!

    Love! Very helpful and useful for lifting, walking, running, and other outdoor activities. I love the FREE workouts! If you do use this everyday for workouts the battery will run out a little quicker but still lasts a full week for me.
