I gifted the Garmin Vivoactive 5 Smart Watch (Orchid) to my wife on our 4-year anniversary, and she absolutely loved it. It’s easy to use, has a beautiful design, and the battery life is excellent. A perfect gift and great quality overall.

Good for runners
Much better battery life than Apple Watch. Only need this for running so does what I need it to. I'm a casual runner currently marathon training, mostly just want pace, heart rate and route tracked. Connects great with Runna and Strava. Other features feel a little clunky in comparison to Apple Watch.

Good watch for my fitness routines VG battery life
This watch replaced a forerunner 55 which was 4 yes old when the batteries kept failing. Vivoactive 5 was difficult to link to the Garmin app as my phone couldn't read the QR code on the watch display other than that it is good, easy to operate once you get used to it. Very good battery life so far.

Garmin Vivoactive 5 Smart Watch - Navy:
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 has a 5 ATM rating—meaning it’s water-rated for depths up to 50 meters. Garmin explicitly states it’s suitable for swimming (both pool and open water).
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello There.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Garmin Vivoactive 5 Smart Watch - Black Slate.
Yes, the watch can estimate VO₂ max, but it requires two things:
Wrist-based heart rate data (so you need to wear the watch snugly on your wrist during the activity).
A timed brisk walk or run of at least 15 minutes to calculate and display your VO₂ max estimate.
Thank you for using Q & A.
