Pros and cons

According to our smartwatch expert

Thanks to the minimalist and stylish design, these watches look great whether you’re wearing dressy or casual clothes.
You get insights into your health and tips to help you improve it.
You can leave your smartphone at home while you work out, because you can listen to music right from your smartwatch.
You don’t have an altimeter to track the number of steps and floors you’ve climbed.
Health measurements are less accurate, and you won’t detect conditions like sleep apnea.

Description

You can track your steps, heart rate, and sleep with the Garmin Vivoactive 5. This smartwatch gives you insight into your health. For example, you can see when you’re stressed and get tips to improve your sleep. The screen also shows your route and stress level. Thanks to the built-in music player, you can listen to music right from the watch. You can store your favorite songs on the watch, so you don’t always need your smartphone nearby.

Nice smartwatch

Very good battery life
Lots of apps, lots of information
Simple operation, easy to connect to the Garmin Connect app
Charging is not possible on all plugs and USB ports, so you have to be aware of that. Or buy an -too-expensive plug.

I purchased a Garmin Vivoactive 3 over four years ago and have always enjoyed wearing it. But the battery deteriorated and charging did not always happen automatically. Because I have a walking week this summer without electricity, I wanted a new smartwatch with a long battery life, also with GPS. And that's this one. Not much changes for me because I already had the 3. I also looked at Samsung and other smartwatches. But a: they are often much more expensive and b: the battery only lasts a day, and with GPS on only a few hours. You can't do a walking tour with that.

Definitely recommended

offers many possibilities and has a beautiful design
good price/quality ratio
provides health and sleep tips
Accuracy of heart rate monitor less reliable, especially during exercise

If you don't want to use the product for intensive jogging, then it is definitely recommended. It offers many possibilities and keeps track of how much you move and train intensively, how your sleep pattern is going, how your recovery is, what your stress level is, etc. I have been wearing the watch for two weeks now and have not even been able to try out all the options. It also regularly gives advice about your activities, sleep, stress, etc. The only downside I find is that the heart rate monitor is not that accurate, especially while running.

Great upgrade after the 4s

Clear screen
Recovery time
Sleeps score
No training suggestions

Great upgrade from my 4S, more than I need. But with more expensive watches you have even more functionalities.
