- Can the Vívosmart 5 track swimming?
- Yes. It is rated 5 ATM, so it can be worn in the pool and shower. It counts pool lengths but has no open-water GPS.
- Does it have built-in GPS?
- No. Distance for outdoor walks and runs comes from your connected phone's GPS, so leave the phone with you.
- How long does the battery last?

- Yes. It records sleep stages, stress levels and Body Battery energy scores through the Garmin Connect app.
- Is it a good upgrade from an older Vívosmart?
- Yes, if you want a touchscreen and heart-rate tracking. It keeps the long battery life and simple band design of earlier models.
