Garmin vívosmart® 5, Fitness Tracker, Long-Lasting Battery, Simple Design, Cool Mint

You wont be disappointed! Love all the features it has, no subscription like fitbit, does everything the samsung watch does, not bulky & veryfit bit, also enjoy I can buy diff bands with this one unlike the past one I had..bands broke frequently since I farm I always hit it on something🤣 I used to have the old version of this liked everything but the charging..like how its been upgraded to plug rather than snap, if you had old one you know what i mean! Battery life is also great, i use all day everyday so far I only have to charge 1x/wk even use during sleep! Love how syncs with my MFP, I workout frequently & like the way it targets what I've done, muscles etc (see pic) enjoy app upgrade also! tried 3 diff watches from Samsung, hate them..hate they are round, hurt my wrist while sleeping, bulky, no battery lifeThis lil one does everything I enjoy & holds battery life amazing!

I've had my Garmin now for a little over a week and I love it! I had an Apple Watch Series 4 that I replaced this with. The Garmin seems to be more accurate on everything. I get notifications for various apps from my phone. The Garmin Connect app is wonderful! There's only a few things of major difference for me, but they aren't that important. The Garmin doesn't have the EKG capability, it also doesn't allow you to respond to texts or emails. Aside from that, it seems to have just about everything my Apple Watch did that mattered for me. I wanted this mostly for activity tracking and sleep tracking. It does sycn with your Apple Health. My biggest compaint is that I have small wrists and after a few hours I start to notice the band, especially if I'm sweating or active. I wish they had a fabric band. I also found the Cronometer App for calories syncs with both and it is a great addition.

I bough this to replace my Amaxon Halo which was discontinuedAt first I was thrilled - it seemed to have all the metrics I was interested in and I especially liked the no subscription fee seeing as every other fitness tracker requires one which is ridiculous.Unfortunately, I ran into several issues pretty quickly1- The battery would last great and then randomly start dying quickly (without having changed settings) a factory reset fixed it but I had to do this 2 times in 3 weeks2- Similar to the battery issue, it would randomly stop syncing with my phone (iphone 13) and so I had to rest it3- The final straw for me was that it raise to view sensor completely stopped working. Lifting/rotating my wrist did nothing no matter what sensitivity I set it to which was incredibly frustrating and meant checking the time required hitting the button - which even then sometimes didnt work. Factory resets, power cycling - nothing helped.Unfortunately, online forums seemed to agree that these 3 issues were common and the only real fix was a replacement. It was still under warranty and I could have opted for a replacement, but with the amount of issues I already dealt with in the first month and the other complaints online made me decide I wanted a refund.I will say - the app, which is for all Garmin trackers and not just this model, is one of the better I have tried. I truly like Garmin and would consider another one of their fitness bands, or even this model when its upgraded but my recommendation for this is don't buy.

The battery life is so amazing. It lasts me long uses. It usually lasts me 3-4 days without dying. The ease of use is very good, you can send texts and receive text even if you don't have a sim card in your phone. You can get to the activity modes very easily. The functionality works like a charm it's not hard to operate at all. The weight doesn't even feel like anything one your wrist at all

This was one of the many sports watches I've tried over the years. I liked the small form factor and that there was not as many "smart" things you can do with the watch. The battery life was adequate, but not as good as other watches.

Not a replacement for FitBit, sadly. I parted ways with G**gle, and was looking for something that worked at least as well. This tracker seems to be more accurate than FB in some of the metrics, not as accurate in others. I don’t have a problem with this one’s ability to measure. The battery life is ABYSMAL. They claim 7 days. I’ve yet to get it further than 24 hours, and that’s with all of the controls disabled that run it down. Energy saving is maximized on my device and still…. I can’t use it the way it’s intended. There is no Bluetooth option to disconnect the device without unpairing it. If you have your phone’s Bluetooth on to use earbuds, then this device will connect and stay connected. To save battery I have to unpair and then reconnect when I need to synch data. Their Connect app is very confusing. There’s no food log within the app to track calories consumed with calories burned. They’ve got a weird formula that allows bonus points for calories burned through activity. To log food you have to connect another app like Lose It or Myfitnesspal. Pretty darn fussy. Not impressed so much but am glad it’s not the other guys and that’s worth it.

Really like the watch. It’s a bit different from my old one, but I’ll get used to it. Love the color and features.

My old vivosmart finally died..so sad. So I picked up this newer model. It has a lot of features the older model didn't have, but at the same time it might have too many bells and whistles. The stair counter doesn't work, and the directions for potentially fixing it are useless bc there are no little holes like the instructions say. I'll keep it, but it seems that the stair counter is an issue for many people. Finally figured out how to fix the automatic activity monitor which was annoying. If you don't sync it with your phone then you can't see the previous days steps like the older model would allow you to do.
