Garmin vivosmart 5

[lljkk]

Does anyone wear one 24/7? Does the battery life really tend to last almost 7 days? Plus, can you manually log activities? Anything else you like or don't like about it.

I have had Fitbits for 5 years but my current device (Charge3) the screen is failing & I presume a total fail is imminent. I am thinking about getting a vivosmart 5 instead of a charge 5 (either would be used off of ebay). I don't care about any feature in FitBit Premium, but I am curious to try something different. I do wear the AT 24/7.

Also, manually logging swims in Fitbit updated App has a severe flaw, only lets one log distances as whole km. Would be nice to log real distance.

Cheers.

Have only got a vivosmart 3 , but don’t wear it all day or even everyday as I seem to have developed an allergy to the strap, which I thought was silicone but apparently not. I am thinking of getting an Apple at some point as I can get different straps. My vivosmart strap can’t be changed.
However, when I had a problem with it, just when it was out of warranty, they replaced it, so can’t fault customer service.

I’ve got a vivosmart 5. It’s quite slim and discreet .
Garmin Connect is a good, free app that you can manually add data.
I do wear it 24/7 and charge it for 20 minutes every 3 days
It’s easy to become a bit obsessed with active minutes/ sleep score/ VO2!

I'm upgrading from Fitbit Versa Lite to Garmin Vivosport 5, following recommendations from a friend & my dsis. My fitbit is not recording accurately anymore
