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

I'm coming from an Apple Watch Series 5. I had gotten frustrated with the battery life and sleep tracking and wanted to see if a more fitness-focused watch would be a better fit. I'm not a big runner or someone who does a lot of intense exercise, but I do like to track my exercise and sleep and get nudges to move when I've been sitting down for too long. I also like to get notifications on my wrist without needing to pull out my phone. Compared to the Apple Watch, the first major thing I noticed was this is nowhere close in terms of smarts. I had gotten used to Apple's smooth interface, built in microphone and speaker for voice commands, and often useful apps that can be used without needing to get my phone out. That being said, after a few days I can confidently say that I don't need them. I would argue that Garmin knows what this is and what it is not - it's a fitness device first and foremost, and everything else comes second. And on that basis they nailed it - the fitness tracking has been excellent and noticeably better than the Apple Watch especially in sleep tracking. I also much prefer their approach to goals, which tracks exercise over the course of a week rather than focusing specifically on individual days. Whenever I was sick or had a down day I would feel guilty if I didn't close all of my rings on my Apple Watch, but I don't feel that same pressure with the Garmin. I do miss being able to use voice commands with my watch, but I could have gotten a more expensive Garmin if I really wanted that, and I don't think it's worth it for me. The second thing I noticed: not having to charge your watch every day is a game changer. This was easily my biggest frustration with the Apple Watch since it's marketed as a device you wear 24x7 and yet needs to be charged every day. And considering how long it took to charge my Series 5, this was a major annoyance. I couldn't charge it overnight, because I wanted sleep tracking. I couldn't charge it in the morning, because I like to start off my day with exercise and it doesn't charge fast enough to do it after a workout and before work. And if I charged it in the evening, I would often forget to put it on before bed and miss out on the sleep tracking. The Garmin is a breath of fresh air by comparison - I charge it about once a week, and with my relatively light usage it can probably go close to two. I took a multi day trip recently and I didn't once have to worry about charging my watch, which was a pleasant change. Overall I think this watch is a great fit for a more casual user who isn't running marathons but wants to track fitness and sleep and get some extras like smartphone notifications and see the weather at a glance. If you want something with more smart features and better build quality (i.e. more metal and less plastic), then the Venu might be a better fit. Or they have the Forerunner if you do run marathons. Or a bunch of other models for more specific use cases. But I would highly recommend giving this watch a try if you're looking for the same things that I am.

A pretty solid smart watch. After doing some research I decided to get the Garmin Vivoactive 5, I honestly can't complain after a month of use. I find it to be pretty intuitive in use, the display is clear, the health apps track more indepth metrics from what I'm used to. There's also a myriad of different sports tracking, great for motivation, plus I get important notifications. I think it fits my wrist better with adjustable elastic wrist bands (bought separately) compared to the silicone it comes with. Overall I'm satisfied with the quality. Only would be issue is battery life, it says up to 11 days, but that's if you have nothing else running on it. The more you track and add to it, the more battery drain it has. Otherwise it's pretty solid.

I’ve had it for about a week and so far I love it. I upgraded from an Apple Watch cause I wanted something more health and fitness oriented and this is just that. I like all the features and it still looks very cute and easier to style since it looks closer to a watch. It’s pretty comfortable also. I really love the sleep feature and the cycle tracking as a women. I’d recommend this to anyone! It was easy to set up and I find my sleep score pretty accurate and mostly everything else. I mean it’s not 100% right but it’s definitely a good indicator

I've never had a Garmin before, but thankfully my son has. He helped me set it up. But honestly, it wasn't that difficult. My husband got it for me for Christmas. It was a toss up of 2 I liked. The size of the screen is amazing. I like being able to see all the things in the screen, but I also like the app. I'm not a huge fan of the type of band that came with it. Just don't care for the feel, but I'm getting used to it and I might get one of the other types - elastic or magnetic. But I do love the color. That's probably the main reason I haven't gotten another band yet. So far, the battery is excellent. It actually surprises me because of all it can do! As far as what it does, I'm sort of a simple girl, so steps, sleep insight, those are important to me and of course I love being able to see messages completely on the face. It did take a bit to realize I needed to say yes, I'm awake, but that's ok. My previous watch I had to go to the app to start my day. This I can just scroll and hit the check ✔️

I am a beginner runner and still needed something to notify me for work purposes. It’s good overall but my text messages will not come up on my watch. You can answer a call on your watch but can’t speak to them. Also, all notifications on your phone come up on the watch. I wish there was a way to choose notifications on the watch. To completely setup the watch it drains your battery big time. So I’m partially setup and it last a week. Other than that it’s light weight and sleek looking. Can fit a range of wrist and has the features I need as a beginner so I’m not spending too much on a watch that I’m not using all the featured for. Sync works great when phone is within range.

I love my watch. It synchronized with my phone easily and has decent battery life. The Garmin app is easy to use.

I’ve been an Apple user my whole life, their products just miss the mark lately. Decided to switch to Garmin after seeing how well my dad’s original Garmin watch held up. He got it in 2018 and it’s still going very strong. Still full battery life, he’s taken it swimming multiple times. Very durable. This watch is definitely that same durable watch but in a more feminine style. Love the customization options all around. Unfortunately GarminPay doesnt work with my bank (NavyFed) so that’s the only reason I gave it only 4 stars instead of 5. Because that’s a hugeeeeee issue for me. Also, you can’t reply to messages on this watch which is also a bit of a drag. You never realize how much you actually used it until you don’t have it lol

Very excellent! The charging cable is USB Type-C, need to find a Type-C charging head.

Montre abordable et bien utile. Elle a les fonctions de base. Et surtout elle reçoit les notifications. Très facile a installer avec l'application. Seul bémol l'application Garmin pour changer les écrans... C'est l'horreur et tout est payant

Opinie piszę po około 3 tygodniach od zakupu, więc zdążyłem już dobrze zapoznać się z zegarkiem. Produkt jest rewelacyjny i spełnia moje wszystkie oczekiwania, a nawet więcej. Świetne wykonanie, zegarek jest lekki, a pasek bardzo miękki, dzięki czemu praktycznie nie czuć go na ręce. Rewelacyjny wyświetlacz, na którym wszystko idealnie widać nawet w pełnym słońcu. Przy ciągłym pomiarze tętna, włączonych powiadomieniach ze smartfona, rejestracji kilku aktywności i dokonywaniu nim kilku płatności dziennie, zegarek wytrzymuje na jednym ładowaniu 7 pełnych dób i zazwyczaj jeszcze jest około 20-30% baterii. Jak dla mnie wynik rewelacyjny. Świetne modyfikowalne tarcze, które możemy za darmo pobrać ze sklepu Connect IQ. Zegarek sprawdzi się w przypadku osoby która chce mieć nieduży i lekki zegarek z płatnościami zbliżeniowymi, z ciągłym monitorowaniem stanu zdrowia i rejestrowaniem aktywności. Oczywiście dla wyczynowych sportowców Garmin ma lepsze urządzenia, jednak dla amatorów jest to bardzo dobry wybór.

Todo bien

Calidad/precio Es justo lo que esperaba por 4500$.
