Excellent Watch With A Major Flaw
The watch has some fantastic features for all sorts of activities and does a great job of tracking your progress. I like that I can simply add my music to it and carry it along for those long runs. Battery life is very good, as well.
However, the watch has one major flaw. When I select an activity while listening to music, the watch will immediately disconnect all Bluetooth devices (e.g., phone, headphones, etc.) as it tries to geolocate using GPS. Changing the setting from "All Systems" to "GPS Only" works sometimes but I have still encountered the issue. Reconnecting to Bluetooth devices takes a few minutes, which is tedious and annoying.

Great but with a FATAL Flaw that MUST be Fixed
I've had a vivoactive 4 for ~4years and love it
I recently decided to upgrade to the 5 about 2 weeks ago. I wish the size was bigger, like the 4, but I've gotten used to it. The graphics are outstanding and I enjoy many of the other new functions. However, there is a SETIOUS, FATAL flaw. The "Naps" function is GARBAGE. Any time I sit still to work, or rwad or watch TV it registers a nap. I cannot even sit to watch a 30 minute show unless I constantly wave my arm around. There is no way to delete these "naps" and you can't disable it without disabling all of the sleep functionality. I am considering returning the watch if this cannot be fixed.

So much better than Fitbit!
I am thrilled with my new Garmon Vivoactive 5 and the Garmon Connect app. I find the sleep and nap tracking and heart rate very accurate. I bought this to replace my Fitbit after getting so frustrated with the update to the Fitbit app in late 2023 that I gave up. The Garmon Connect app is light years beyond what the Fitbit app ever was even before its horrible update. And the Garmon Connect app is free! I love that I can zoom in on the heart rate graph, and after I workout I can go into my workout on the Connect app and see my heart rate for the duration of my workout (simple things that Fitbit can't do even though they have this data).

Garmin Vivoactive 5
Garmin Vivoactive 5 has improved functions - main face with all the information is great. I like the sleep score and information on how to improve it. However, the strength choice on Vivoactive 3 was better than the 5 model. Vivoactive 3 sensed the movements that you were doing in your workout and registered those. Vivoactive 5 does not sense the movements that you are doing. I wrote them in. It also doesn't sense when you are active in weight training, so it says you've done one set, when you've done 12 sets. I wish that the strength portion stayed as good as the Vivoactive 3 model. The 5 model has made other improvements, though.

Garmin takes the lead--great watch, battery life
My first smart watch was a Garmin 10 years ago and then I went to the competitor that I thought had more advanced features. Not so any more! I'm very happy with this Garmin Vivoactive 5--the steps, sleep score, heart beat, and all the other data that syncs with my phone via Garmin connect really beats the competition. While the other big names were resting on their perceived reputation, Garmin was out researching and out developing the competitors.. Eleven day battery support--and to think, one of Garmin's competitors is bragging about 22 hours. I've had this watch for a couple of weeks and still learning additional features but I highly recommend it..

Nice... but glitchy > needs some software updates
I only had the watch for 2-3 days... but already experienced some random reboots/restarts while browsing the body battery graph... and I also got 2 ugly "bricked device" kind of experiences. The watch doesn't turn on on gesture or button, screen is black and it needs recharging via cable or hard reset to get back to life... and unfortunately loses all graph data for body battery, stress, heart rate... The solution at the moment might be the auto-lock function. Somehow the watch activates to easily... Why is not a double tap feature and it only requires a 1tap to wake up ? Hopefully this could be solved via a software update. This is such a nice watch... Thanks!

love this watch but the screen locks up frequently
I absolutely love this watch, I would give it 5 stars but the screen locks up frequently. I had one prior and it was doing it so we sent it back and I got a new one on the 9th. It locked up 3x in the first 24 hrs. It has done it 3 more times since. Once for well over an hour. The watch still counts steps while it's locked up but vibrates a lot so I have no clue what it is doing. It once sent out the emergency alert while locked up and I couldn't shut it off. Other than this I love the watch. I wish it had a hike function. I love the stats it gives me after a run and how it breaks them down. I love the night time mode.

Tons of data
Bought this instead of Apple simply because of battery life. It has exceeded my expectations and love the many, many detailed facts received daily/ The only problem was the start up piece of paper sucked, no words just three pictures. Had to go online to find a manual. One error I made was downloading the Connect app before I received the watch and it just would not sync via bluetooth with my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Removed the app, reinstalled and it immediately synced withe phone. Have it about a month now and only have had to charge it three times. Definitely recommend this watc, have had a FitBit Charge, a Spade and Co. Charge 3 and this is way better and accurate.
