Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought as a Christmas for my son's grandmother. She loves it and talks about the watch all the time. She really enjoys that it is easy to use and love the all of the compliments she get.. She uses it for swimming, walking and loves all of the health monitoring features.. She say it os the best gift she has received in a very long time..

Love it! Has definitely helped me get to know myself more and how much sleep I actually need.

Gift. The person using seems to love it. Battery life is great. Tracks everything they want.

The Garmin vivoactive 5 is a versatile fitness smartwatch. It easily tracks various activities from running biking or tennis to even swimming, thanks to its built-in GPS and water resistance. The vibrant touchscreen is easy to navigate, displaying notifications and health metrics clearly. Battery life was surprisingly good, lasting several days even with regular use. Overall, the vivoactive 5 is a solid choice for fitness enthusiasts looking for something reliable and stylish.

Love this watch! Bought for my husband as a gift after receiving one myself. The little watch does so much and is durable. I am a nurse and clumsy so this watch has sttod up to a lot of wear. The husband works construction and it has lasted with no scratches for a few months so far. Only complaint is the band that comes with is uncomfortable.

It’s simple and easy to use. If you do some research on maximizing the watch’s potential, you’ll enjoy it even more.

Starting my fitness journey I knew I needed a new watch, even though I had an Apple Watch. I absolutely love this watch! It helps me start in control of my fitness goals. Super easy to use!

I wear my watch everyday, and love it so far! I have had it for about 6 months now, and had no complaints. It has survived a lot of manual labor as well, and i’m surprised the screen of it is still intact with how many things I have rammed it into.

Great watch for tracking daily levels of activity and sleep. 100%

this watch was just what I wanted and is easy to use and set up

An affordable alternative to the traditional Apple Watch. It was easy to pair with my iPhone 16 Pro. The greatest feature is that the battery life is quite long compared with other devices like this one. Simple enough to use and easy to install on my iPhone. Well worth the price for the power. Quite satisfying overall.

Great watch. It has many features that I like. It is pretty easy to use and has a good battery life. I like this better than the fit bit. I like that I can personalize the face to see certain results on the screen at all times. It’s comfortable and fits well. The price wasn’t too bad either. There nothing so far that I don’t like

Excellent watch that covers all the essentials while not costing near as much as premium products.

Super good watch love that I’ve recommended this to alot of people and they made the switch from any other smart watch

It's what I was looking for on a smart watch. Best is don't have to charge daily

The Garmin vivoactive 5 is perfect for me. I workout; it tracks calories, intensity, and more. I set goals for steps and stairs, and it keeps me on task. When I play pickleball, the vivoactive 5 lets me know how many calories I burn. The connectivity to my iphone and WhatsApp is very helpful to me. I recommend it highly!

I purchased this device after being a longtime Fitbit user. I wasn't happy to lose key capabilities on my previous device so I looked for alternatives. I would say the jury is still out but here are some initial observations. The most disappointing feature is the auto-tracking. It simply is not working like it should. Mid-activity the tracking stops. It's happened every time I tried to use this feature. Despite NUMEROUS troubleshooting steps give to me by support, it continue the same pattern. I also told support (repeatedly) that no, I did not stop at a light or took a break when it stopped. I was walking in semi-rural areas and was mid-stride without stopping AT ALL when the device stopped tracking. Once I was going up a steep incline. The second question mark for me is the sleep tracking. I'm not saying that it isn't accurate but it gives very different results from Fitbit. I don't know which is more accurate. Personally, this device has far more "stuff" than I need. I do like the face of it and the snapshots. I don't know if it's just me but I often have trouble with the top button that I don't seem to have with the bottom button. I'm hoping with continued use, glitches will work out. I put No to recommend but that could change (I hope). Positive-battery life, comfort, look

Got this at a nice Best Buy discount because the Vivoactive 6 was recently released. Still has lots of great features and should be current with Garmin updates. Silky soft band is comfortable to wear at night, syncs with my Android phone and Garmin web app on my laptop as well as Chronometer. Nice size for my small wrist. 4 stars because the music feature doesn't include SiriusXM, and because frequent updates sometimes cause rapid battery drain until I reset the watch but keep my data.

Fantastic upgrade for the Vivoactive 3. Ease of use, reliable and 2 week long battery life on 1 charge!

Comfortable, light weight smart watch. Battery lasts between 5 - 7 days and the information is quite accurate.
