- Does the Vivosmart 5 have built-in GPS?
- No. It uses your phone's GPS for outdoor runs and rides, so you need the phone with you for distance and pace.
- How long does the battery last?
- Garmin rates it at up to 7 days. Heavy use of blood oxygen tracking or frequent notifications shortens that.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated 5 ATM, so it handles pool swimming and showers. It is not built for diving.
- Does it work with an iPhone?
- Yes. It pairs with both iPhone and Android over Bluetooth and shows calls and messages.
- Can I pay with it?
- No. It has no NFC, so contactless payments are not supported.
- Is it worth it over a GPS tracker like the Charge 5?
- Choose the Vivosmart 5 for the button, light band and long battery. Pick a GPS model if you run or ride without your phone.
