Vivoactive 5: Keeper Doesn't Keep Properly!!!
Recently purchased this Garmin Smart Watch and the Keeper stretched to the E point that the watch strap is not properly secured, and presents a serious safety issue. The purpose of a watch band keeper is to secure the excess length of the watch strap, preventing it from catching on objects, snagging, or wearing down quickly. The current Keeper is a Complete FAIL ...and I hope Garmin Support will respond properly with free replacement Keepers when I have time to call.

Nice watch, great features
I am enjoying this watch. Has many nice features, love to have my steps. I do wonder if it has a feature to help me find my phone.
From Garmin
Excellent question - the Vivoactive 5 does have a "Find My Phone" feature! You can use it by following the steps linked here: http://ms.spr.ly/6429s0...

Love my Vivoactive
I love the Vivoactive 5. There are great upgrades from the 4 version. I love the blue option. The Garmin Connect app is easy to use and gives me all the information I need. I love how all the Garmin products work together and the app keeps all the stats. I recommend Garmin to everyone!

Ok for a simple smartwatch but no Vivoactive HR
I bought this to replace my Vivoactive HR, which I had had for over 9 years. I did my web research and was repeatedly told that the Vivoactive 5 was the best replacement. But after a week of using the watch, I realised it was not even close. I am not a runner, I do more hiking, mixed sports, kayaking, and climbing. The features I love about the Vivoactive HR are completely missing from the 5. No stair sensor, no altimeter, and no calorie tracker. Multiple websites, including the Garmin webs...

I understand the frustration with this concern with the vivoactive 5 and the activities you want to use this for. I would recommend our Venu 4 which I...
It tracks my workouts really well
My parents surprised me with it because they love it, I didn't think it would be amazing or anything but I love being able to track my health and it has really helped me figure out when I'm going to have asthma attacks.

Great Activity Tracker
This tracker does what I want to to do. One exception is the sleep tracker. It is too sensitive to movement! If I am not conscience of being awake...why does it say I am awake? I normally am sound asleep with in 10 minutes of lying down. I am asleep about 9:30 every night and wake up about 5 or 5:30. Once or twice a month (like last night) I was asleep about 9:35pm, woke up at 5:30am, my watch said I went to sleep at 12:31am, was awake for 1 hr 6 min. For a 3 hr 53 min of sleep. This is d...
From Garmin
Sleep tracking can stop, or miss times if your watch detects enough movement. If there is enough movement or your heart rate is elevated the watch may...

Great Running Watch
I bought my Vivoactive 5 about a month ago. After owning a Vivoactive 4 for several years, the 4 died when I couldn't get it to charge or download and execute an update. The 5 has been good thus far, I only use the running, music, and other basic features. I don't keep it on 24/7 so I cannot comment on the sleep and other features that require the user to wear the watch all the time. I enjoy the verbal announcement when each lap is completed. It is a good watch that serves its purpose well, at l...

How did I ever get along without this!
I bought this for my wife. She's a teacher. She doesn't allow phones in her classroom, so she doesn't look at hers. This watch keeps her in communication, even at work. It's been very convenient on multiple occasions. She has also used our a a game. She keeps trying to get the best sleep score she can. 87 is her best. What's yours? The watch looks good. It's stylish. It's sleek and doesn't snag on things like a bulky watch can.
