  very light in the hand, you don't notice it, perfect for daily use mainly for people who exercise. I would like better connectivity and synchronization with the phone, other than that it's just fine.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I have had it for several months now. Overall, it is a sleek and very good smartwatch for athletes. I have noticed that it has huge accuracy in heart rate monitoring, even when the watch is not in contact with the skin. As for the oximeter, I don't know because I haven't had the chance to compare it. Now regarding stress, it constantly shows me high levels even when I am relaxed. The body battery is not always accurate. Sometimes it drops to 5 very early, but I feel full of energy...

  I also faced some technical issues. 2-3 times I fully charged the battery before sleep, but one night it drained almost completely. I assume that some activity was accidentally recorded during sleep and drained it. However, the strange thing is that to exit activities, it is difficult to do so by accident. You have to press a side button and then one tap and one swipe on the screen, and I also checked the activities history and there was nothing new. So I don't know what happened. Finally, another serious problem is the Bluetooth and music. Many times I connect Bluetooth with the car or headphones, and after some time it starts to cut out. Initially, it has intermittent cuts, and then as time goes by, it does it more and more until it completely stops playing. From the moment it starts cutting out until it stops, it takes about 1-3 minutes.

  I've had it for two weeks and I wear it even while sleeping. I got it for its battery and I wasn't disappointed. With all the features on, it lasts 8-9 days!!!

  It's lightweight and small enough for a woman's wrist. Especially for me, who isn't used to wearing a watch, it's very comfortable. It measures heart rate, stress levels, steps, and sleep quality. My favorite feature is the body battery that shows me how much energy I have for the rest of the day. And the NFC, which requires you to open the wallet and enter a pin to activate, but other than that, it's easy and recognizes it immediately.

  I am very happy with this purchase.

  Quite good.. and aesthetically the only decent watch from Garmin at 42.. The only annoying thing is (besides the menu until you get used to it) its compatibility with the HRM Pro Plus strap which only does the basics.. while it could actually support it fully... and Garmin doesn't release another watch that is as nice as this one and supports it...

  Very good and vfm BUT ....The touch screen is a bit sensitive. Many times I press one thing and a different command is given. Overall, it is a decent watch.

  This review is about the colour: Blue

  The watch ticks many boxes. Beautiful, elegant, light on the wrist and great for sleep tracking. Good communication with the phone with notifications, and you can reply from the watch with some pre-set responses or by writing on a small keyboard. However, the biggest advantage of Garmin watches is the sports software. It provides you with a lot of information and tips on how to improve your running endurance, sets goals for marathons, and helps you achieve them with a professional coach that you choose, using their own methods. Plenty of watch faces are also available from the store.

  I will briefly list the features that stood out to me in order to help you, as it was difficult for me to understand the differences that the vivoactive 5 has compared to other Garmin watches and what I might be missing before trying it out.

  +Very nice clear and bright screen, even in sunny weather.
  +Fast response without any lag.
  +Garmin coach training program for running, just like the forerunner series from Garmin.
  +Garmin pay.

  -Altitude is measured using GPS data, so it is not as accurate. If accuracy in measuring altitude is important to you, then you might not prefer it.
  -It does not have audible notifications with "beeps," only vibration.
  -It does not have a metronome to help with cadence. But this can be solved if you wear headphones and listen to the rhythm from there.
  -When running, it shows the instantaneous speed and there doesn't seem to be a setting to change this.

  Regarding a comment I saw about charging, the cable that comes with it can be plugged into a mobile charger, and it doesn't matter what power the charger has because the watch will draw as much energy as it needs. This is mentioned on Garmin's website if you look it up. Additionally, it can be charged directly from a smartphone with a type C port.

  First of all, it is extremely lightweight. Secondly, it is very fast in everything, in switching, in connectivity, in functions, etc., and very accurate in measurements. I have no opinion on the battery because I haven't closed a week since I bought it. The only thing I haven't found is how to connect the headphones, but I imagine I will find it. Otherwise, I would buy it again and again

  4 stars because it does not include a charger, but only a cable with a type C output, and I am trying to figure out how to charge it. It's a bit random, to be honest
