    What do people want in a true smartwatch. Good apps, good phone integration and accurate health tracking. The vivoactive 5 has all of that but what makes it different is that it can last 11 days on a single charge. Perfect smartwatch. Just perfect.

    I have used the Garmin Vivo before. Upgraded to this unit. The golf app works great, and Garmin has loaded many courses to download. Battery life so far has been great. Will last the amount of time advertised.

    I love my new watch! It looks great and the screen display is incredibly clear. I was able to put my own picture on it and choose what measures I wanted to display. There are so many features that my vivoactive 3 either didn’t have or had a lesser version of. It was a real upgrade! I also love that it connects to my headphones and gives voice prompts during training.

    Excellent battery life while doing almost everything I could possibly need a smart watch to do. Only complaints are the app being a bit clunky and no Siri integration. Still worth it!

    I’m really impressed with it. I made the switch from an Apple Watch to the Garmin. It works the same as any other smart watch. Fits the wrist good, much slimmer compaired to the Apple Watch.

    Excellent device, it is accurate, lightweight, and the battery life is superb. I run around 15 miles per week and the battery last for about 6 days.

    It was a little to get used to because i was using an Apple Watch. But so far i am enjoying it. Love the features and the durability. I did purchase a screen protector and will probably get a cover for it also.

    I've been a square face fit bit user for the last 7 years and decided to make the switch over to Garmin. I was hesitant to make the switch but was convinced to try it. This is such a great watch, the app is so informative, and free. Gives you more information than the git bit premium does. This watch exceeded my expectations, i have no cons about it. Even the round face is growing on me.

    Switched to Garmin after several FB Charge 4/5 failures. Some functions not intuitive, but easy once learned. Plenty of data available to analyze health and fitness. Can’t really assess durability after just over a month of use.

    The watch itself works great. Bought it for daily health and sleep monitoring and am happy with the results and accuracy. However, I personally dislike the UI as well as how workouts are tracked. It may just take some getting used to,
