    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

    I work third shift, which means almost every watch on the market besides Garmin thinks i never sleep, as they don't track daytime sleeping. Aside from that, the watch has a much better battery than anything running Google's WearOS. The ONLY downside is some third party health apps don't connect to Garmin. Want to try Pokemon Sleep? Sorry. But the body battery is amazing. I thought it was a dumb gimmick at first, but it really matches how i feel. I've been able to increase my energy and improve my sleep.

    I upgraded to this Garmin from a Fitbit of a similar capability level; this is a far superior device, in every way. The user interface is far more intuitive on the watch itself. The app is also better in every way. If I had to pick one thing that makes this a 4-star watch and not a 5-star is the charge length of the watch. It needs charged every 4-5 days tops, though it is advertised to last a week or more... definitely not the case. Otherwise, it is great and I still recommend! Final thought: definitely buy the clip on screen protectors available on Amazon. Worth it!

    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!

    Killer fitness tracker with smartwatch features

    Honestly I went back and forth between buying a pixel watch and upgrading to another Fitbit, until I started reading reviews of the Garmin line. Fitbit lost me by removing a bunch of really important features from their watches, and the pixel watch or the Samsung watch are a non-starter for me because of the tiny battery life. So I went with this vivoactive 5, and I am so glad I did. This is a beautiful watch with a gorgeous display, an amazing 12-day battery life, accurate tracking and comfortable to wear. Plus it has smartwatch features that keep you connected to your phone without sucking you into constantly looking at a tiny screen all day.
