Review Summary

I like my vívosmart® 5. Great features, fit and look. I would to see routine daily activities added or be able to add daily routine activities for tracking purposes. I would also like for the notifications on screen to last longer.

I am not happy with the fact that I have to charge my vivosmart 5 every 2 1/2 days. The company states the charge should last 5 to 7 days. We have turned off many apps or widgets to have it last longer but to no avail.

I received this for free with my Twin Health program kit, so it didn't cost me. Previously I used the Xiaomi Mi Band watches, which are inexpensive and full color and clean UI. This fitness watch works very well, but it's not pretty to look at and because the screen is so small, it has to scroll some of the text on the screens. Not horrible for free, but I liked my other watch better.

I had the prior model. Was very happy except the battery was failing to maintain a charge. I really liked the smaller slimmer style of the vivosmart 4

I received my vivosmart 5 for my birthday and it is not as easy or as intuitive to use as my previous Vivo 4. Please let me know where to go to get the manual to adjust the time and date and other functions

My battery died, so 40 minutes of running was not recorded. This device was purchased to make a record of my activities. In scenarios where device can't register, I should be able to correct the record and see data manually entered combined with my daily totals. I am seriously thinking of returning the device because this issue.

When my Vivosmart4 band broke I had to replace it. I had come to Garmin from FitBit because i could not get a Fitbit to connect to my phone. I was mostly pleased with the Vivosmart 4. Switching to the Vivosmart 5 has been a mediocre experience. It no longer registers flights of stairs at all. The sleep graph has random start and stop times. I turned off the Pulse Ox because it was so hard on the battery. On the plus side it does charge more quickly, but I am concerned the charging cable fitting will wear quickly because the connector to the fitness band seems tight. At this point, I will keep the tracker, but when it fails I will probably switch back to a Fitbit. Your user interface and data problems are too cumbersome.

Instructions that come with watch are useless. Impossible to figure out how to connect, how to set watch to just display heart rate, how to start and stop activities, what are events or challenges etc. Watch can take up to 10 minutes to catch up to changing heart rate, I can be breathing hard yet watch shows no change from resting pulse.

The device is great for what its intended use is. The app is where it shines the most giving you information about you and your body and habits. My only complaint is that the battery life is ho hum and doesnt last for as long as it seems it should for being a simple screen device. Otherwise Its amazing!

I was sent this from a health program that I participate in. The other day I pushed mowed grass for 3 hours. At the end of this time my Apple Watch had 29000 steps, Garmen had 10,000 steps. I know the Apple Watch is correct, it gives the same step count every time, or maybe a Garmen does not count steps if you have another activity selected. Even when walking activity was selected it was way off.

I was presented with the smart device a couple of months ago and since then I've found it very helpful and convenient to manage my health and be alert about it.

I was very disappointed with Fitbit after Google took it over. I like the Garmin vivid smart 5 a lot, but I would like to see more "Activities" like golf, canoeing, etc. All in all I'm happy with it.

I was given this garmin watch from family members for my birthday and I'm loving every second of it ! Love how it can receive messages , keeps tracks of health , it makes a sound and vibration when someone calls and you see every information without having to look at your phone and personally I appreciate that, if you're at work or a job site it makes us with a garmin watch look more presentable and professional. I wear it almost every day now since I've received it and I love it so much !

I'm still getting used to this but it does a great job with auto tracking runs. Battery life is excellent. Sleep tracking seems great also. Needs an explanation of sleep score though.

I find the screen is hard to read because the font and area is too small. They crowd several items on the screen to scroll up and my fingers although small hit se real at once. I hate that I have to use another app to log food which means for meals I have to not only add the the food app but wait for it to sync . It's much easier with just the device itself or the one app for Garmin but that's not an option. I am not in love with the operation of the device and the ability to log my meals. I do like the appearance, shape, etc but cumbersome and not as user friendly as Apple or Fit Bit to me . I so wanted it to work for me but it has been a disappointment. It was a gift that I specifically asked for after much research. I have owned Apple and Fit Bit but just find them easier to use, enter, track, and interpret my data.

I bought this a month ago. The display is easier to read when compared to my old Vivosmart 4. The downside is the battery life, my Vivosmart 4 seemed to last longer. My advice, wait for the Vivosmart 6.

I received the watch through my twin health care and have enjoyed it. Except the battery life is really terrible for some reason I've changed the settings the where it uses less battery but still bad battery life most of the time

I love my new Garmin Vivosmart 5 - I can see everything that comes across my phone without having to pull it out of my purse or pocket. It's very convenient! I also like all the things it tracks - my sleep, my steps, beats per minute, pulse ox, water consumption, etc. All great things that I am interested in and love that the vivosmart keeps that top of mind and reminds me what still to do for the day. If you want to get heathier - this is a great tool to help you manage!

I had this for a while before putting it into service. It was a replacement for a VivoSport that I really liked but it quit interfacing with my phone. Once I started using it, it worked good for about 3 weeks. Then the pairing with the GPS on my phone went haywire. It would work correctly for about 5 minutes or less and then it would display a random number of miles and the display would stick to that no matter what I did. Then this week it started working correctly again. I don't know why or for how long it will work. The one thing I do know is that I'm probably done buying Garmin products of this style.

I found this watch not to be the watch for me. When I returned it, I was charged postage AND a $15 00 restocking fee. No restocking fee was mentioned in the description.

Overall a better product than prior versions. Connection for charging significantly better. Still have trouble at times getting readings while on a bike ride. Have to make tight on my wrist to get good readings. Still disappointed it has limited lifetime and no battery changeout option. Excellent customer service.
