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

I purchased his Garmin watch on the recommendation of my coworkers. I have found that the use of it the functionality the menu is very intuitive. It helps to keep track of my daily stress, heart rate my steps and exercise. The watch also monitors your sleeping habits it can tell whether you’ve had a night of light sleeping compared to rim sleep. I’ve owned the watch for about a month now and I would highly recommend it. The battery life for me has been on average 7 to 10 days per charge. I do not run the app in the background on my phone continuously just intermittently to update once or twice a day. It keeps you informed of incoming calls and text messages.

I have had a galaxy, pixel, fossil regular and a hybrid.i have only had this one for just over a week but so far it is by far my favorite. The battery life is almost as good of a hybrid but it has WiFi and all the goodies that my hybrid didn't. I believe I would get around 7 days between charges but honestly I don't wear it in the shower so I plug it in then. Once I'm dressed and put it back on its at 100 again since the battery only appears to go down 10 to 15 percent in 24 hours.

I love this watch. Way better quality and accuracy than Fitbit or Amazfit. It killed me to spend so much on a fitness tracker but I just could not do another Fitbit nightmare and Amazfit would not track my calories accurately. I think it does a great job of tracking calories, steps, sleep, heart and stress. I bought the 2 year warranty because several other reviews said it quit working so I am covered.

Four stars out of five - it does a lot of things very well, but lacks some features that I thought it had because of the description on the Garmin web page - most notable the inability to track respiration during workouts. It does track respiration all day, so this must just be a software issue to get you to buy a more expensive version. The watch faces are a little finicky to design, but there are a lot of them on the Connect IQ shop (some free, some not).I've worn an A brand watch that works seamlessly with my iPhone since they first came out. I would say that that watch is an outstanding smart watch with a mediocre fitness tracker. This Garmin Vivoactive 5 (they now have the 6 released) is an excellent fitness tracker with an average smart watch. It pairs with the Garmin App and gives you much better granularity into your fitness metrics. It has a solid battery life - my first test lasted six days before it went into low battery mode and I used it for about 12 hours of workouts (which is a battery drain). The best feature for me is that it allows me to put all my workouts (including my cycling with a Garmin 1030) into one location, Garmin Connect.Overall, it isn't a replacement for my smart watch, but it is a great entry level fitness tracker. I'm planning on using it for several months to completely understand all the features, then I may try going for a high end Garmin watch as a replacement for my trusty A-watch. For now, I am (ugh) wearing one watch on each arm.

My husband has been wanting a Garmin watch for a while and he is very happy with this watch. The battery life lasts 10+ days. He loves that he can track his sleep, body energy percentage, steps, etc. He can connect to his phone and hasn’t had any issues so far. He recommends his watch if you want the Garmin watch without the hefty price tag of some of the more advanced models.

I had a Venu for about 3 years now. The display and battery life started to fade so I choose the Vivoactive instead this time. Mostly due to the price and I just didn't need all the extra stuff on the venu. I've had it for a couple weeks now and I really love it the menus are a bit different but once you get used to it it's no biggie. The face is a couple mm smaller than the venu and I thought I want going to like that but I actually like it better. Battery life is awesome but I guess that depends a little on your settings and watch face you choose. But overall the battery life is about 6-7 days I think. My Venu was about 3. It also feels less clunky maybe lighter in weight as well. I'm happy with my purchase, id definitely recommend!
