    I love the Garmin Vivoactive 5. The battery lasts about 7 days. Has all the features I was looking for after my Fitbit Versa 4 died. I'll never buy a Fitbit again; they don't last. Garmin makes a better product.

    I have vivo 3 and 4 this is an definate upgrade over both I still like the vivo 4 in some aspects but you cannot go wrong I just wish they had a bigger size but I put a after market metal band and changed the look for the better in my opinion it's light the metal band gave it a little weight

    I like this watch; however, the screen has gone black on me multiple times already and then doesn't want to work. Battery life is nice compared to my old Apple watch. I wanted to get something different this time in case I would ever switch back to an Android.
