Definitely worth it, lots of features to use.
I decided to order a Garmin Vivoactive 5 when my Fitbit Versa expired on me in Nov.2024. It took a couple of weeks for it to arrive, mainly due to the holiday season, but it has been worth it. The battery life on it is much longer than what I previously had on Fitbit, and there are a lot of features available. It will take a while to familiarize yourself with so many features, but once you do they will be worth it. If you use it to monitor your workouts, as I do, there are many categories of workouts that it will evaluate, running, walking, strength workouts, biking, cardio, etc. You get great data on your sleep patterns, morning reports, weather updates, etc. What I enjoy is that when you download the Garmin app on your phone you can use your data from Garmin to enter into competitions with other Garmin members. Fitbit, once bought out by Google, began to eliminate a lot of the groups and competitions you could be involved in, so Garmin was a breath of fresh air in this. The band on the watch feels great and the watch looks stylish. I am sure that there are a ton more features out there that I have not even gotten to yet, but my impressions on a Garmin smartwatch is that they are definitely worth the money if you enjoy using a smartwatch daily.

Works great!
I wanted a smart watch that wasn’t as much a tiny phone on your wrist. Don’t get me wrong this watch has most of those features: notifications, call notifications, find my phone, timer, flashlight, mobile pay ect. But the interface isn’t as “integrated” as apple and I like it for this reason. I really enjoy the tracking and health features this watch offers and I like the navy color. I did change out my strap because I don’t personally like silicon. The edge of the watch face is from a screen protector I applied also. So far the battery life has been great and I’ve been more motivated to be more active because I like reaching goals and seeing my charts change. I also like the sleep tracker it is nice to see a snapshot of how you slept. There is also a nap option and brpm heart rate pulse ox you can track your water and calories ect. Also a gps! This watch as some crazy features packed in!

Great watch and product support
I wanted to upgrade from my Fitbit to something that holds a charge longer and stays synced with my phone without having to keep the app open. A Garmin watch seemed to fit the bill. It’s probably a little fancy for my needs, but I’m very happy with the features so far.The watch arrived and was very easy to set up. It looks great (not too big), functions great (user friendly), does a great job of tracking sleep, and the touch screen is worlds better than my Fitbit ever was. I haven’t had it long enough to comment on the scratch resistance of the screen.After wearing it for a couple of the weeks, a pretty crucial piece fell off the watch band (see the picture). I was disappointed and a little annoyed at first, but Amazon quickly sent me a replacement that arrived 2 days after I contacted them. I also ordered some more bands to have on hand in case this ever happens again.I’m looking forward to using this watch to get back into running next summer as it has the built-in coaching feature. I don’t think you’ll find anything better for the price (and I didn’t get it on sale— ha).

I love this thing. Not the least expensive, but probably the best bang for the buck.
I’m someone who really really did not want a watch of any sort, especially not an Apple Watch or anything else that is bloated with unnecessary hardware that needs to be charged every single day. Charging a phone every day is enough of a pain without needing to add any other junk, so no thanks to the useless gimmick-loaded “smart” watches.But I really needed to do fitness tracking because without some sort of gadget I just have zero idea how lazy or not lazy I’ve been lately and whether or not I need to get at least some minimal exercise.And my #1 must have feature is week-long battery charge life. This watch is good enough, even though the battery life might be more like 5 days in some cases if you’re using it for activities a lot where the gps is turned on. But for those not running with the gps every day or constantly tinkering with it a full battery charge seems to last a week. That is, charge it for an hour on Sunday and no need to charge it again until the same time next Sunday. You could get the battery to last longer if you’re willing to shut off absolutely everything that might use more power.I started out with a Garmin vivosmart 5 because I didn’t think I needed anything beyond that, but I have sleep problems and decided I needed better sleep tracking. So I ended up with this one even though I don’t really care about random silly “apps” on a watch.Overall this watch has been excellent. It has a very good UI and the fitness tracking features a quite good. The sleep tracking is decent, but still has its issues that hopefully Garmin will fix with software updates. In particular the “nap tracking” doesn’t seem fully baked yet, and things like laying back in a recliner reading a book or watching TV can get falsely detected as a “nap”. Then there’s no way to delete a false nap on the watch or in the Garmin Connect app.There are still a few minor bugs that some people will run into but they seem to be things that can be fixed with firmware updates and I haven’t run into anything completely feature-breaking.If you feel like messing with it you can also install some “apps” like custom watch face designs or sunset/sunrise times, more detailed weather and such. But even without installing anything the watch does everything needed for health and fitness stuff.Almost all of the apps that come with the device can be uninstalled, so if you don’t need “women’s health tracking” for example then you can just remove that to free up space.Their mobile app is pretty well designed and only awkward in some parts of the configuration.The watch reliably synchronizes as long as you leave the phone app running in the background and I’ve never had any Bluetooth connection failures, lag, or lost pairings.Things that the watch is not good for are things that you’d typically use a phone for like communication, turn by turn navigation, maps, games, and such. But I don’t want a watch to do any of that stuff and I’d rather have it save its battery charge so I don’t have to charge it constantly.So overall, this is “the” watch you want if you want as little nonsense as possible and don’t want to worry about battery charge all the time but still need full health and fitness tracking stuff beyond what the $75-150 models offer. And there are also no subscriptions required.

Al ser uno de los productos más económicos de garmin en cuanto de relojes, este no le pierde nada a niguno de los demás que existen en el mercado. Llevo usandolo 3 meses y realmente es todo lo que necesito, gran sleep tracking, bateria humana, calorias, pasos, BATERIA! (le dura hasta 12 dias)Es increible, definitivamente valio la pena cambiarme de apple watch a garmin.

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.

I received the watch and it was used before. The watch and cable were just loosely lying inside the box without any protection. The screen protector plastic was not on anymore and the screen even had stains. Very poor experience!
