I bought this specifically for the GPS feature. The GPS is minimal (an arrow on your watch face), and if you use it, the battery only lasts about 4 hours. If you don't use the GPS, the battery lasts about a week which is nice.

Frustrated!
Stop working correctly a while ago. Tried to reboot but it stayed stuck on some sort of demo mode and does not work properly
From Garmin
love to be able to track fitness and sleep
I have had the watch for almost 2 years and the only drawback I find that I wish it would tack my elevation for hiking.
From Garmin
Love all the lifestyle tracking metrics on this watch.

Great to have but battery life disappointing
Excellent features and works great. Disappointed in battery life as has to be recharged every 5 days instead of the 11 days advertised.
From Garmin
Happy to see you are enjoying your device, but I am sorry you are not getting the battery life you expected. Please connect with your local Garmin sup...

My vivoactive 5 is great for activity functions but not for my sleep. My wife goes to bed after me says I'm fast asleep. however in the morning my watch says I didn't fall asleep until hours after she says I was asleep.I have called a few times but noone seems to have a definitive explanation. I would love a solution that works.BTW it's always in the first 3or4 hrs.

Great features , easy to use
I been using this watch about a month and I am not to happy with it. First it says 11 day battery life. Try about 5. 11 days if you don’t wear it. It doesn’t keep correct stats on sleep and your body’s battery level. I can pretty much tell when I sleep good or I don’t. I have a bed that monitor sleep. My other watch was right on with that. Then when you wake up. It gives you negative messages. And then tells you your day might be irritable.

Definitely worth the money
So I bought this because my other watch didnt track my steps well. I am very pleased with this Garmin. It tracks my steps, heart rate, O2 and my sleep. I knew I wasn't sleeping well. Now I can show my doctor my watch and prove my sleep is terrible. I can switch from left to right arm wearing but it doesn't let you put if its your dominant wrist and I wish it tracked my BP. That would be a plus. Over all I love it.
From Garmin
it's probably the most accurate pedometer and calorie tracker I've used. also for being as low profile and almost fragile looking as it is I've taken it with me on lake trips, the range, and used it in other hard use situations where it has survived some interesting dings and bangs. for someone looking for a inexpensive smart watch to take more of their health into there hands it is great.

Broke quickly
Went into set up demo and couldn’t get it to exit the demo mode. Continuously switched displays modes etc.
From Garmin
You should be able to exit demo mode by pressing the bottom button quickly about 8 times, and then select the check mark that displays.
Great Health Features
Love the health features…heart rate, body battery, sleep analytics, steps, calories burned, pulse Ox, etc. the only issue is that I cannot get it to connect to Face It.
From Garmin
Works great
Like the ease of use, upgraded from vivoactive 4 and love both
From Garmin
The watch was good quality did not have enough functions for my needs. Great choice for someone who does not need GPS and mapping on a regular basis.

Wow! I love it! Features A+
1. When walking, I can see the watch face with a constant on. I can see how my heart is doing easily when I walk. 2. Recharge Time - Quick, like when I'm taking a shower 3. Sleep Info - Never thought it was important. Comfortable to wear while sleeping. I can now see and understand better what happened in my sleep. 4. Sync with my iPhone And still learning more of the features. I bought a cheap "sports watch" last year. It's in the trash now.

Great features
I've had this for just over a month now and it's everything I needed.
From Garmin
Great for a little bit of everything
This is the king of watch to get it you army to serious about any one sport it lacks super in depth features compared to its counterparts but you can’t beat it for the price.
From Garmin
Good all around watch that won't break the bank
I've had my watch for over a year now. I beat the crap out of it and it still works great. I like it for the GPS function while running. I also use it while golfing and getting the distance to the hole quickly.
From Garmin
Love this
Has made me so much more aware of my activity levels, stress levels, etc
From Garmin
Love it!
Bought this a month ago and it exceeded my expectations. Great features, easy to use, I wear it all the time.

Worst UX
So I far I encountered the craziest UX and the most old-fashion UI I have ever seen on such expensive device :( After using another smartwatch for several years, I can't get used to Garmin because it's really bad.
