Our take on the Garmin Vivoactive 5 Fitness Tracker Smart Watch

The Vivoactive 5 is Garmin's mid-range fitness smartwatch, with a 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS and an aluminum bezel. It tracks running, cycling, swimming and gym work, adds sleep tracking, heart rate and Body Battery, and runs about 11 days between charges. It sits below the Venu 3, which adds a larger screen, speaker and microphone for calls, and above the cheaper Vivoactive 4 with its sharper display and newer sleep and coaching features. Reviewers call it a light, comfortable everyday watch with accurate GPS, though its plastic case feels less premium than the Venu line.

Questions and answers

Is the Vivoactive 5 worth it over the Vivoactive 4?
Yes for most buyers. The 5 adds an AMOLED screen, newer sleep and recovery tracking and a lighter body. The 4 is only worth considering if you prefer its always-on transflective display.

Yes. It is water resistant to 5 ATM and tracks pool swims, including laps and stroke type.
Does it work with an iPhone?
Yes. It pairs with both iPhone and Android through the Garmin Connect app, though some smart replies and app features are more limited on iOS.
