Fit: I have very small wrists – about 6.25” circumference – especially for a guy. I was initially concerned that the larger face versus the Vivoactive 4S might look clunky. But it is thinner and sits closer on the wrist, so it’s actually better. Sleeves don’t catch as easily and it’s very comfortable.Display: The AMOLED display is sharp and vibrant – very easy to read. I like that I can set it to stay on all the time so that I can glance at the time like a regular watch. In low power mode the watch face is still very clear.Features: Sleep tracking is as good as the Fitbit I used to have, maybe better. Fitness tracking and activities are easy to use and seem quite accurate. Heart rate monitoring accuracy is reasonably close to the Polar chest strap.Battery life: I charge it every few days, and I don’t think it has ever gone below 45%. Usually on the second or third day, it’s around 60% or 70%. With the display always on and other features active, I don’t think I’d get 11 days between charges, but that rating assumes you’re just in smart watch mode all the time. Battery life is more than adequate.Overall, a very good smart watch/fitness monitor. I like simple, straightforward design and features, and this one is great!

After extensive research my wife and I purchased the Garmin Vivoactive 5. It’s now been a couple months wearing them 24/7 and we are extremely pleased! The watch is a precision instrument that reliably measures so many body metrics as well as fun things like the weather, emails and text messages, that you can also respond to. The brilliant display is absolutely beautiful and battery life is stellar. We charge once a week on Sunday mornings and there is always 30% or more charge left so the manufacturer’s claim of up to 11 days is pretty close. The GPS feature will drain the battery quicker, but it is only used on specific settings where distance and a tracking map is desired. We chose the Vivoactive 5 over the Garmin Venue 3 because it is thinner, lighter, and smaller. We did not need the microphone, speaker, and EKG feature on the Venue, also the heart rate sensor on the vivoactive 5, although not as elaborate as the Venue, is still state of the art and functions flawlessly. We are 100% glad we chose the vivoactive 5 over everything else we looked at. The health benefits of having this watch have been substantial for us. Being able to actually look at graphs and charts of sleep patterns, hydration, heart rate, stress, etc etc have given us great insight into adjusting our daily life. We really appreciate the technology, ease of use and the quality built-in by Garmin.

Well it is finally charging day so a great time to leave my review for my Vivoactive 😁I’ve been using the Garmin Vivoactive 5 for a while now, and it has truly exceeded my expectations in several key areas. One of the standout features for me is the impressive battery life. It’s amazing not having to worry about constant charging, especially during long workouts or busy days.The comfort and lightness of the watch make it a joy to wear all day. It’s so lightweight that I often forget I have it on. The design is sleek and minimal, adding to the overall comfort and making it suitable for any occasion.Ease of use is another big win for the Vivoactive 5. Navigating through the menus and accessing different features is incredibly intuitive. Even the built-in coach feature, although I haven’t explored it fully yet, adds another layer of functionality that I’m excited to try in the future.The activity and sleep tracking capabilities have been a game-changer for me. It’s like having a personal assistant dedicated to my health and fitness goals. I particularly appreciate the accurate rep count during workouts – it’s a small detail that makes a big difference in my training routine.One aspect that sets this model apart for me is the absence of calls and texts. It helps me stay focused on my activities without unnecessary distractions. It’s a thoughtful inclusion that aligns perfectly with my fitness mindset.However, if I were to nitpick, the only area I find lacking is the variety of watch bands. I hope Garmin considers introducing more fun and interchangeable bands in the future. It would be a fantastic way to customize the look and feel of the watch.Overall, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a fantastic product that has seamlessly integrated into my daily life. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and packed with features that enhance my fitness journey. I’m excited to see what future updates and band options Garmin has in store. Highly recommended!

Got this to replace a Vivio Active 4S. The activity tracking and sleep tracking both seem significantly better on this version and the watch really isn’t too much larger than the 4S if you have small wrists. Overall, I’ve been really happy and the sleep mode (ultra dim screen, DND) is an awesome addition, no more getting blinded in the morning when you check you watch.

Buying the new Garmen Vivoactive 5 watch was replacing an older Vivoactive HR watch. I was worried that I would not like it as well. My worries were unnecessary. This new watch has all of my favorite activity monitoring of the HR but goes well beyond it. The face is now colored and easier to read. Moving to other activities is much easier and you get better information (such as REM sleep measurement). The golf course app is still similar and easy to use. I. am very impressed and pleased with this watch

Finally replaced my VioActive 3 after 5 years. I really consider going to an Apple Watch due to some of the additional features that they had and compatibility with my cell phone.Overall, I chose to stay with Garmin due to the battery life which has been phenomenal on the new watch. I charge it maybe once every other week. It tracks all activities and works as it should.

I’ve had a nickel allergy my whole life- so when I decided I wanted a fitness tracker with heart rate, my options were slim to none.I’m so pleasantly surprised to say that after a little research and a small piece of tape- this watch has worked amazingly!You can buy a cover for the charge port (which I did), but that leaves one small spot of metal (which might be hypoallergenic but didn’t really want to find out the hard way)- hence the tape.The body of the watch and the band it came with have been great, I’ve had it almost a week without any irritation.Also- their app is free, and has a decent interface. I did have one weird moment where the face would not light up but it was in some workout mode so I was kind of stuck in a loop not sure how to get out of it because I couldn’t see the prompts.Generally very satisfied and happy with my purchase! If you have a metal allergy like me- this is definitely worthy of a try!

I’ve suffered through both the Google and Samsung watches and hated both for different reasons.Same features running on my Google watch I got about 15 hours of battery. I spent most of the time either with no watch because I left it charging or a dead watch.Same apps running on my Garmin and I get 10 DAYS on a single charge.The display does take some getting used to because of the solar charging. However, I’m in love with black text on a white background because I almost never have to turn on the back light. It is always on and visible and still gives 10 while days on a single charge.Barometer works great!I love this watch!

You guys. This watch battery has lasted a week. It does everything the other smart watches can do and it is much more accurate on the health aspect. Also, it does not call 911 or fall reports so you no longer have to worry about the police showing up at your door accidentally. I’m very very very happy with it, I wish I’d replaced my other Samsung watch much sooner.

I had the Apple Watch for about 2 years but felt the fitness tracking was lacking.I’ve had the whoop tracker for awhile as well but hate their subscription model with monthly feesThis watch has just as many features as the whoop and the battery life is unbeatableIf you are an Apple Watch user this will take some time to get used to.I cursed it for awhile but that was more user error than the watch itself.Once you get used to how it functions it can’t be beat.The band it comes with is far superior to what’s includes with the Apple Watch.Very robust amount of data is provided for the price of this itemMy only complaint overall is that I wish Garmin would simplify their line of watches. There are way too many options and so many similarities. I’ve never researched so many options before making a purchase before. My final selection came down to this and the venu 3.
