Garmin vívoactive 5, Health and Fitness GPS Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Up to 11 Days of Battery, Black

Brought for my wife - we have become a Garmin family now. Tata Apple. I have the Forerunner 965 for more higher intensity workouts, more of an athlete than my wife, but the Vivoactive is no poor cousin either - looks really good, has almost the same features and is smaller in size (fits my wife's wrists). Overall a solid buy

I really like my Garmin watch it has a battery that lasts over a week which I just love. it tracks everything I need such as steps, heart rate, pulse ox (many watches do NOT do oxygen saturations - this does), sleep logging, it synchs seamlessly with my phone and I can get the weather on it and know who's calling. it has features I don't use like music and I'm sure there's more. This not a commercial for the watch, honest. I've owned a few different brands. I just prefer this one. it's a little on the high end money-wise since it isn't a phone too like Apple but I already have a phone and I like it just fine.

I've been using Fitbits for years, but when my last one died I decided to get a Garmin. I'm glad I did. It tracks more, with more detail, than my Fitbits did, and (for me at least) the interface was more intuitive despite being more complex. And the phone app works great. I only have a handful of quibbles, none of which were worth docking it a star: (1) The fitness bike integration doesn't work with my Horizon bike (not sure whether to fault Garmin or Horizon for that one). (2) Some of the stats (such as pace during walks/runs) are delayed, so if I start walking faster it will take a few seconds for the watch to show a quicker pace. (3) The available exercises for logging strength training don't include some that I do regularly (such as single-leg leg press, single-leg leg extensions, and heel taps), but I can't fault them for not having exercises that are primary for physical therapy. Those were more than offset by things I hadn't even realized it could do when I bought it: - MyFitnessPal integration for food logging - Stopwatch and timer in the watch (I use the timer for PT stretching) - Screen lock (for sleeping) - Stress and "body battery" tracking (which are pretty decently accurate in my estimation) - VO2 Max estimation - Fitness scale integration (planning to buy a Garmin scale soon) And it's great having GPS on the watch itself, so I don't have to haul my phone along for exercise walks.

Upgraded from my Fitbit Luxe (which I adored - I wanted something with text/call features as well) to the Garmin Vivoactive5. It is a really nice watch, very comfortable, and perfect for what I need, which is holding myself accountable for being more active. As someone who hates bulky watches or other accessories on my wrist, this watch is definitely a great choice for me.

It's a great fitness watch for tracking and monitoring your health while being on a budget. I got mine for $170 in the battery life on it is amazing. I go about a week before I have to charge it again so it's definitely worth it for the money and the battery life as as well as having clear statistics in helping your health.

Arrived fast. It’s ideal of runners and very active people. I like that keep track of my level of stress and quality of sleep and have a ton of cool features

switched from my samsung galaxy watch and very pleased. battery life is around 8 days for me. Health metrics and sleep tracking are much more precise than samsung. only draw back is cant respond to texts or calls.

I love my watch, I love the color and it works just as good as a Samsung or Google watch without the expensive prices. I have health certain health issues and it helps me to keep up with my values and most of my other medical devices can connect to it to keep track of the numbers.

I hate the look of the Apple Watches, so I was excited to try this. It does what it says. My complaint is that when I lost it, I cannot ping it- like an Apple Watch. No tracking if lost or stolen. Can’t shut the watch down. No pin to protect it, etc. So whoever finds your watch has access to the information stored on it. Paying extra for security and peace of mind is worth it- as I found out the hard way.

I have had Garmin Garmin watches forever. This is the worst one I’ve ever had. You have to fight to get it to charge. It has trouble trying to find out if you’re sleeping or not. It’s almost like the sensors aren’t working correctly. Stay away from this one.
