Vivoactive 5

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.

I use both visible and Garmin vivoactive 5 on the daily. I like visible because of the pace points system. It gives me a snapshot of how much I've done in a day, rather than just a HR graph. I also like that it's waterproof and I can shower with it. The symptom tracker is nice as well. The Garmin ha

Sure! Im wearing a garmin vivoactive 5. The Garmin standard interface is pretty informative on its own but recently I installed a watchface called "Pacing Watch Face" by fitigued that is helpful for us sick people.

Check out Garmin! They have a fantastic battery life and there's a ton of different ones within different price ranges to choose from.

Mine is in line with my Helio strap and my Vivoactive 5. It’s very accurate. Can't you just manually count your heart rate to check if your Active 3's measurement is correct? Instructions on how to do it: https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/articles/how-to-check-your-heart-rate

I have a garmin vivoactive 5. Absolutely love it. Gives all the necessary insights like sleep tracking, body battery, recovery time, fitness age and so on!

I have the Garmin vivoactive 5 and I find it useful to know when I've overdone it. I get alerts for high stress days and things like that so I know when I can expect PEM and sort of work around it. I don't monitor in the app so much anymore, I mostly use it to look at sleep quality now as I've had i

I know it's a watch, but I love my Garmin vivoactive 5. Tracks hrv, stress, sleep, HR. I also really like the body battery feature
