I just bought the Garmin Vivoactive 5 last week, 05 Feb 2026. The first night it was at like 72% and I charged it to 100%. By Saturday it was down to around 15% and it took 2-3 hours to charge it to about 82%. On Monday it was back down to 19%. In 4 hours it charged to 72%, so I left it on the charger overnight. In the morning it was still at 72%. Yesterday it was down to 22% so I charged it again, this time it charged to 100% in about 4 hours. I wore it to bed and when I got up it was down to like 70%. In the last 5 hours it has drained down to 39%. I'm very disappointed by the battery life, which is the only reason I decided to stay with Garmin. I had the Vivoactive 3 and was very happy with it, now im feeling dooped by Vivoactive 5.
