The best fitness tracker I've used
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.

Great Value, Lightweight and Truly Waterproof
I’ve been using the Garmin Vivoactive 5 for a while now and I’m really happy with it. The price is very reasonable for what you get, and the watch feels solid and well built. It’s fully waterproof – I swim with it and wear it in water parks with no issues. The only thing to keep in mind is not to press the buttons while in the water and to lock the screen so you don’t get accidental touches. Battery life is excellent: in normal use I consistently get around 7–10 days on a single charge. The watch is light and not too big, which makes it very comfortable to wear all day and night. The display is easy to read even in bright sunlight, which is a big plus if you spend a lot of time outdoors. In my opinion, the value for money is great – it’s a very successful combination of price and quality. One detail worth mentioning is that notifications come only via Bluetooth. Unlike some Samsung watches that can also use Wi-Fi for notifications (which increases range but drains the battery faster), the Vivoactive 5 relies on Bluetooth, which helps preserve battery life. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this watch and would definitely recommend it.

It's not only functional but beautiful too
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 ✔️

Super produkt w super cenie
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.
