Great Product!
I have been looking for a low profile fitness tracker similar to my old vivosmart 3 for several months. This is it. The added features of the “5”, make it even better. Yes, it does everything the description says and the BR tracker is accurate ( I have watched too many videos talking about which tracker is the best, one shows 2 beats hi or vs another, etc. the reality is that any band, ring, chest band is going to have variances to actual). The fit and feel is most important to me in how often/long you will wear a tracker and this is perfect. Garmin APP is awesome, connection is easy and finally I appreciate the ease and acceptance of Amazon’s return process. If it weren’t for that I probably would have shopped elsewhere. Seriously, out of the three I bought (returned two), this was the most expensive. Amazon would not have gotten this sale, or as many continued purchases from me if it weren’t for that.

Ease of Use, Comfort
Got a Fenix 5x that I’ve used daily for years, but was getting tired of such a large item on my wrist. So i got this one. Liked it enough that I got another one for wife. Basic, easy to use for tracking things, comfortable enough to wear while sleeping. Battery length leaves something to be desired; maybe 4-5 days with pulse Ox on for sleep time only. Not a big deal, really. Take the time to calibrate steps, at least. And also invest in a screen protector. Being polycarbonate it’ll scratch up sooner or later. Might as well take care of it. Happy with the purchase.

A significant downgrade from Vivosmart 4!
This device was my third Garmin purchase after two Vivosmart 4s (the only issue with the 4 was the strap). However, the Vivosmart 5 does nothing well. The strap design is worse. The watch comes off the wrist in the middle of the night (so no sleep tracking). Yesterday, the screen was stuck with repeated reminders to add emergency contacts (and that too 3). Today, the screen is stuck with a 7-day overview. The battery life is the biggest disappointment, which lasts, arguably, less than an Apple watch (which was never the case with the Vivosmart 4).I’m just glad that I have kept the box and now I’m going to return it.

Good, but not good enough for sleep tracking
Overall this one is a good one for those who don’t want to spend any more money than necessary, but want heart rate and not just pedometer functions. Battery life is a week or more unless you have features like full time pulse ox or other power hungry features turned on.The main issue with it is that the sleep tracking is more limited and less reliable than the next model up (vivoactive 5) and there are currently some problems with the “body battery” feature unless they can fix the firmware.In particular, it doesn’t do “nap tracking” but then again the nap tracking even on more expensive models is currently rather inaccurate with things like sitting in a recliner reading while awake being detected as a “nap”.Basically this is the model you want if you just need the essential features of a fitness/health tracker, don’t want to be paying for subscriptions, and don’t need stuff like ConnectIQ apps (most of which aren’t that useful). It does almost all of the “built in” stuff the more expensive watches have “built in” to the firmware.And the iPhone app is good quality and actually works, syncs reliably, etc, even with Apple not being helpful since they want you to buy their bloated extremely short battery life watches.

Very happy with purchase
Like the connect app functionality; connects to apple health, but use the app day to day. One day about 3 months in the monitor stopped working. Went into settings, reset to default, full functionality returned with no loss of data. Also like that I am not required to purchase a premium plan. I think the tracker is accurate enough, but I can say that it is very consistent. As a Physician I realize this is not a diagnostic quality instrument, but it does not need to be. It just needs to be consistent. I use it to trend my lifestyle by comparing today to yesterday, and last week, and 30 days ago. Charge lasts several days. Overall extremely pleased with this purchase.

Works well enough, but easy to lose
So I’ve had ths Garmin for almost 2 years. It has decent battery life, good connectivity, good app and all the basic tracking functions. Adjusting whixh measures you see on tye watch face is supposed to be easy on the linked app, but that setting never worked right. Overall it functioned OK. HOWEVER, the actual unit pops out of the silicone band for almost no reason all the time. I’ve lost it about 9 times doing work in the yard, out paddling and today for the last time lost it at the grocery store somehow. The app helps find the needle in a haystack in the dark as it lights up, but only by pure luck did I find it in the ocean twice. No idea how it popped loose today, but now it’s gone forever and all it needed was a better, more solid way to keep it in the flimsy bands. The bands also loosen their hold on the unit over time and I went through at least 4 of them. Not bad as a tool. Absolutely awful trying to keep it.

Everything except the refrigerator
Was always an avid Fitbit 5 user but the quality of Fitbit has declined. I have gone through two in the past two years. So far the positives on the Vivosmart 5 (cost comparable) are the all-in-one protective band, sleek design (a little bit narrower than the Fitbit 5). The functions are impressive, accurate and limitless but not simple to use. Initial set-up is a breeze, step by step on the band and app but there are no instructions after that so plan on spending some time getting to know your Vivosmart 5, don’t get frustrated it may take 4 or 5 days but once you figure it out your going to love it, I do. Some functions will not appear for a couple of days as data must be gathered to generate results. Biggest draw back is no found logging. They work in conjunction with My Fitness Pal, which wants you to pay premium to use almost any of their features, yuck and the syncing between the two is not great, so there is never a accurate breakdown of calories in/out without bouncing back and forth between the apps. Fitbit 5 wins over Vivosmart 5 for food logging. Very happy with the purchase and excited to put my Vivosmart 5 to the test!

Amazing minimalist health watch. It provides all of the neccesary information at such a low price. The battery life is great comparing to my old apple watch. The garmin connect app is easy to use. 10/10

Me está encantando su simplicidad y sencillez para utilizar en el día a día. Si desean tener una visualización más precisa de sus registros y actividades es importante descargar la app de Garmin Connect. Un detalle que he alcanzado a notar es que al menos a mi no me dura el 100% de la batería los 7 días de la semana. Tengo la configuración de Frecuencia cardiaca activada 24/7 y probablemente se deba a eso.

this is overall a very good health tracker, if not for some minor problems:pro:1, the fucntionality are really good, get the improtant data you need without the unnecessary stuff like gps2, app show plenty of metrics, which is very useful3, charges pretty fastcon:1,for me, wrist band cause allergic reaction in certain situations, and there’s no none silicone alternatives, so i had to improvise with some tape2, app is useful, but i’d rather it work without online connection3, with all the sensors on, the battery life isn’t very long

Lleva 3 días y marcha muy bien el reloj y la calidad de la marca parece garantía. Solo que el de paquetería dejó el paquete fuera de casa solo. Cuando llegamos vimos pero bueno el producto bien.

Such a great watch! I received one for Christmas as a gift, and my son had asked for one too. It measures your sleep, heart rate and many others. What l really like about it is that it counts your steps! Very impressed!!
