When I try to sync the vs5 on Garmin Connect it is not recognized (not there in top right corner of GC) and Garmin Connect on my phone then asks me to reconnect. So basicly pair and run the setup again and then I get a nice mail "Thank you for registering your Vivosmart 5" Had to do it on jul 30, jul 29, jul 18, jun 26, may 12, may 6, may 2 Have the vs5 for a couple of years now (may 22, after owning the 4 and the 3 and hoping for the vs6)https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/fenix-7/440420/why-oh-why-does-it-come-without-altimeter/2050054Fri, 31 Jul 2026 01:48:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:a4af2588-7daf-4473-a3ef-e86c6deb0b7b9176580Well, that's kind of a sneak-peak into Garmin's thinking of how to get us into Connect+.

The vivosmart 5 should automatically reconnect with the Garmin Connect app whenever it comes back within Bluetooth range of your phone. Could you let us know if you're using an Android or iPhone, and what you mean by "reconnect"? For example, are you having to pair the device again, or does it simply stop connecting to Garmin Connect until you manually reconnect it? In the meantime, I'd recommend reviewing the troubleshooting steps in this FAQ, as it addresses the most common causes of Bluetooth connection issues between your Garmin device and the Garmin Connect app: Garmin Connect App Bluetooth Troubleshootinghttps://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/venu-x1/441016/golf-shot-mapsThu, 30 Jul 2026 21:42:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:571ffced-e2fc-4301-bc92-5515fa7e87e0LJ157I’m addicted to reviewing the shot maps after a round.

That's their policy . But I assume you used Affirm? If so, Affirm bills on their own schedule. Affirm’s Help Center says you must “continue making payments… while you're awaiting your order,” which means payments start immediately even if the merchant hasn’t shipped yet.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/fenix-7/440999/last-firmware/2049991Thu, 30 Jul 2026 20:18:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:d286407e-f1a4-4edc-9dca-3690f5e74935Radagast82Good!

When I showed here the pics of the CIRQA she said - no way - it's even more bulky looking than the VS5, And, is it true that you can't see your HR from an activity? They put that behind the paywall? Do they not get that a lot of people just want a band like the VS4? But no, they just keep getting bigger. Fine, take away the "face" and it could even be smaller, but no, make it big and cover it with a band, as if nobody will notice.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/fenix-7/440995/step-counterThu, 30 Jul 2026 16:43:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:b5e6ebe3-293e-4cdf-8d7e-8254f2e1e484arild.bjornThe step counter is not updating throughout the day.
