Our take on the Garmin Smart Watch Vivoactive 5 HR GPS Black

The Vivoactive 5 is Garmin's mid-range GPS smartwatch with a bright AMOLED touchscreen, a 1.2-inch display and an aluminum bezel. It covers the fitness basics well: built-in GPS, heart rate, sleep and Body Battery, plus Garmin Pay and phone notifications. It sits below the Venu 3, which adds a speaker, microphone and larger screen, and above the cheaper Vivoactive 4 with its older display. Reviewers call it a solid everyday fitness watch with strong battery life, though it lacks the advanced training metrics of the Forerunner line.

Questions and answers

Does the Vivoactive 5 work with an iPhone?
Yes. It pairs with both Android and iPhone through the Garmin Connect app, including notifications and Garmin Pay where supported.
How long does the battery last?
Garmin rates it at about 11 days in smartwatch mode and up to 21 hours with GPS on, depending on settings and use.
Can I store music on it?
No. The Vivoactive 5 has no music storage, so you stream from your phone or use another device.
Does it have a speaker and microphone for calls?
No. It shows call notifications but you cannot take calls on the watch; the Venu 3 adds that.
How does it compare with the Venu 3?
The Venu 3 has a larger screen, a speaker and microphone for calls, and music storage. The Vivoactive 5 is smaller and simpler.
Is it good for swimming?
It is water-resistant to 5 ATM and has a pool swim profile, so it handles laps and showers, but it is not a dive watch.
Where is the Garmin Smart Watch Vivoactive 5 HR GPS Black cheapest?
At Shop Simon, for $293.00, as of our latest check.
