The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a smartwatch and fitness tracker with a sharp AMOLED colour display, solid sports tracking modes and well-integrated smartwatch features. 

The wearable features more than 30 pre-loaded GPS and indoor sports apps, including walking, running, swimming, activities for wheelchair users and more. It can offer personalised feedback on your workout, including how much time you should take to recover, sleep coaching and insight into your overall health through heart rate variability tracking. 

Other health features include 24/7 heart rate tracking, pulse ox, stress tracking, meditation and more. You’ll also receive an overview of your sleep, recovery, calendar and more every morning via Garmin’s Morning Report. 

Of course, we can’t ignore the Vivoactive 5’s smartwatch features, including the ability to receive emails, texts and alerts from your iOS or Android phone. The battery life is fantastic too, with Garmin offering up to 11 days between charges in smartwatch mode. 

Reviewer Michael Sawh would recommend the Vivoactive 5 to those wanting a good mix of sports watch and smartwatch. He wrote: “If you’re looking for a watch at a mid range price that performs well for sports tracking and offers good core smartwatch features, the Vivoactive 5 delivers that”.
