Does the vívoactive 5 take calls?

No. It shows notifications and lets you reject calls, but there is no speaker or microphone, so you cannot talk on your wrist.

How long does the battery last?

Garmin rates it at up to 11 days in smartwatch mode and about 21 hours with GPS running. Heavy GPS use and always-on display shorten that.

Yes. It has a 5 ATM water rating and swim tracking, so pool and shallow-water swimming are fine. It is not built for diving.

No built-in maps. It records GPS routes and supports breadcrumb navigation, but turn-by-turn mapping is reserved for higher Garmin lines.

Is it good for wheelchair users?

Yes. Wheelchair mode counts pushes instead of steps and includes push and handcycle activities with adapted workouts and challenges.

The watch, a charging cable and documentation. The band is already fitted.
