If HR tracking is the primary purpose, a Garmin watch should be considered as an option as well, especially if money is tight! I opted for a Vivoactive 5 when I was deciding between them because the subscription cost of Visible would exceed the one-time cost of a Garmin watch before long.

Wow I didn't realize that the Vivoactive 5 doesn't vibrate upon hitting the heart rate threshold! I almost bought that watch but it was slightly above my price range, so I bought the Forerunner 165 instead. Mine does vibrate but I think the vibration only happens after a sustained 60 seconds above t

I switched from the Garmin Vivoactive 5 to the Amazfit Active 3 Premium. The only thing that’s a bit disappointing is the BioCharge and stress meter; Garmin’s Body Battery and stress tracking often matched how I actually felt much better, whereas Amazfit’s BioCharge feels a bit superficial at times.

Garmin vivoactive 5, prezadovoljna, baterija traje do 10 dana, 7 dana uz svakodnevno aktivno koristenje (npr ako sam svaki dan u teretani pa mjerim trening), dosta precizan u mjerenju sna, body battery tijekom dana, koraka, potrosenih kalorija itd. Kompatibilan sa iphoneom i app je jako jednostavna.

I have a Garmin vivoactive 5 and I love it. The body battery feature is really helpful.

In my opinion, this is pretty standard for sports watches. I have the Garmin Vivoactive 5 myself, and in the 2.5 years I've owned it, I've maybe received two small feature updates. The new Vivoactive 6 is almost identical to the Vivoactive 5 in terms of hardware but has a lot of new software, instea

I have the vivoactive 5, and use it for golfing. With all functions enabled: Yes you can download courses (I have used in UK and USA no problem) You can only connect/download when you are in close proximity to the course and you have the accompanying app open on your smartphone. It recognises you sw

I previously used the Garmin Vivoactive 5, and earlier this year I switched to the Amazfit Active 3 Premium (which is pretty similar to the Active Max feature-wise). The Vivoactive 5 is a good watch, but its features are somewhat limited. For example, you don't get offline maps and it has fewer smar

Watch: I'll second third fourth... Garmin watch. I have the Vivoactive 5, and it has been great for me. super durable, easy to clean. and comfortable to sleep in compared to some of their other bulkier watches if you're interested in tracking sleep as well. Headphones: I own two pairs of Jaybird Tar
