Is the vívoactive 5 worth it over the vívoactive 4?

Yes, for most buyers. The 5 adds an AMOLED display, Body Battery improvements, sleep coaching, HRV status and nap detection, which the 4 lacks.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 11 days in smartwatch mode, or about 5 days with the always-on display enabled. GPS workouts drain it faster.

Does it work with iPhone and Android?

Yes. The Garmin Connect app runs on both iOS and Android, and notifications work on either platform.

Can I take calls from the watch?

No. The vívoactive 5 has no speaker or microphone, so you can see call notifications but not answer on the wrist.

Does it track swimming and golf?

Yes. Swimming and golf are among the more than 30 built-in sports apps, along with running, cycling, HIIT and walking.

The watch, a charging cable and documentation. A spare band is not included.
