Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great watch for anyone interested in health and tracking themselves accurately. Charge power is great and last for days. Must have watch that’s worth the money and still a more affordable option which !

I really love the look of the watch with the matching green face and band. It's also a great health watch and tracks my activities and sleep. I am a very active person and like to keep track of my exercise.

I’ve been a Fitbit user for several years, and most recently had a Charge 5. When Fitbit / Google rolled out the new app design last fall, I was frustrated by the experience and decided to look elsewhere. I bought the Vivoactive 5 on sale and wow, I’m glad I did! With the Garmin, I can customize the screen how I want. The user interface is much, much better with two buttons vs the zero buttons on the Fitbit. I find the tracking (steps, heart rate, sleep) to be more accurate. Battery life is better. Syncing with my phone is flawless and nearly instant (the Fitbit was super glitchy). It’s more comfortable to wear. Also, I enjoy not constantly being badgered to buy a premium subscription.

It is very good for the price and pretty good battery life I used to use garmin forerunner 970 but switched to this one because better battery life and cheaper

I really enjoy my Garmin Vivoactive 6! As it’s my first smartwatch, it’s interface is really easy to use and navigate. I love that it tracks my heart rate, sleep, stress, steps, etc. It keeps me motivated to be active and place fitness as a priority. It has a good weight to it so I can comfortably wear it all the time. If you’re looking for a great watch for everyday use as well as keeping active, check out a Vivoactive 6!

Love this Watch. It is so light. Easy to use. Sometimes the battery life dips. But it’s usually is resolved quickly by the company with an update. Strong glass.

I know I'm writing a review after this watch was released 2+ years ago, but I figure I have some good comparison to my 2+ year old Apple watch. Grabbed this watch on sale because of the price since I moved over to Android. I think for around the same price point as the Apple SE watch, Apple has a step up. First the good, I'll say this thing has amazing battery life compared to the Apple watch. Its refreshing not to have to charge my watch every 1.5 days. I'm not a huge athlete or anything, but I do like to monitor my health and workouts, and this does a pretty good at that. I haven't gotten deep into customizations and personal setups, I'm still on the default face until I get more comfortable with the watch. I have Youtube music synced with the watch so its real nice to go on runs without my phone. I like the morning notifications, body battery, weather, and sleep review when I wake up. Things I'm not a big fan of, isn't not very intuitive, at least for a person new to Garmin. The screen sometimes does not turn on when I tap it, or when I turn my wrist to look at the time. Also, during a workout, its not easy to switch music, look at time, and my progress. Seems like I have to jump around to different 'pages' to get that information, which is not fun to do while running. Again, I'm new to this so there might be better faces/apps that help out with this. I think its a good watch for the price, and offers more privacy than an Apple or Google watch. It wasn't worth more to spend the extra $100 on the Vivoactive 6 from the reviews I read since there didn't seem to be any major upgrades. It was hard picking a Garmin watch since there are so many, but I think the Vivoactive fits me well for the value.

What a huge upgrade from Apple Watch! I was a long time Apple Watch user, but I decided to switch to Garmin due to the accuracy, battery life and disconnection from my phone! I haven’t charged the watch in 11 days and it’s absolutely amazing!

Amazing watch! I had an Apple Watch for 5 years and this Garmin is way better! I use it as an everyday watch and for cycling/ the gym. It does everything you need a watch to do

The Vivoactive 5 is perfect for me! I definitely recommend it! The color is beautiful, and the battery life is truly unbeatable. It performs reliably throughout the day and has exceeded my expectations overall!

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.

Bought as a gift for my wife. She is very happy with it, though has only used it for a couple weeks, so she's still learning all the features and haven't gauged durability, but purchased for the onboard GPS tracking and versatile activity monitoring covering her activities. Stated battery lifetime is impressive, much longer than she needs, though she's not tried to push the limit.

I love it. Especially since I used to have an Apple Watch it is a lot cheaper than Apple Watch and a lot nicer than one of the best purchases I’ve made.

It's a great watch. Long battery life. Easy to operate. The wife loves it!

Great to start your fitness journey, easy to use and nice features if you want a simple fitness tracker.

Pretty good and I was very happy with it. It helps me to track my activities

Honestly, it took a little while to set up to my liking, you probably will download 2 different apps, but in the end it turned out to be an awesome watch. Battery life is incredible... Used it for a week, still had 19 % left. Highly recommended.

Is light weight, easy to use, and has a nice face.

Great having a easy to read, very cool watch face! It took a bit of practice to figure out all the bells and whistles, but at the end of the day, awesome. Extremely comfortable band. No sweating!! So happy to step away from Fitbit! Only needs to be charged 1X/week. The price was also very reasonable.

Does exactly what is advertised to do. I wear it non stop. Battery lasts such a long time. Great little fitness gadget.
