Cute little watch, my niece really loves it. She'll even run around the house just to see the step go up.

I like the fit and finish. Especially enjoy the overall Garmin app. But the battery life is horrendous. It’s so bad in comparison to all the videos and prior reviews I’ve watched I’m going to request a warranty replacement. If the replacement is as bad I’m going to have to go with something else. Running settings full tracking, notifications, and sleep down to 6ish% battery by 6pm/with 8-9am wake up. With sleep and all notifications off I’m still only making it to about 8-9pm/ same wake up.

Bought for my son and he loves it. The ability for him to track his steps and sleep have help h become more aware of his activity and excited to get good sleep at night which are good habits to start early in life.

My 7 yr old son was disinterested by day 3. He stopped wearing it because it was not comfortable to wear for a long time.

I'm sorry to hear he thought it was uncomfortable. The band should be loose enough he can move it up and down his wrist. If it was too snug it may be uncomfortable.

DOES NOT RECORD STAIRS

I just move from the Vivosmart4 to the 5 and the one feature I loved in the 4 was that it tracked stairs. I'm missing that part now and don't know if I would have bought this one if I had known that it didn't track stairs.

My 8yr old loves this watch. It is easy to get on and she tracks her swimming minutes. We haven’t yet tried all the other features yet but looking forward to it. I sure wish it was less dim (even when lit up).

Fantastic product. Bought one for my six year old and she loves it so much i bought a second for my 4 year old. They love learning to tell the time and competing for the highest step count! Excellent.

my 7 yo is very attached to it. I am glad it is not that "smart" , also, the brightness under dimmed conditions is not the best, but it's not that critical
