Garmin vivoactive 5 Smartwatch: The health coach

Living a healthy and active life is easier than ever, and the Garmin vivoactive 5 is now available to help you do so. With this smartwatch from the Swiss company based in Schaffhausen, users can keep track of their health and fitness goals at all times. The smart timepiece also functions as a personal coach.

Numerous functions and up to 21 days of battery life

With the Garmin vivoactive 5, the Swiss company continues its somewhat more feminine-looking smartphone series. It features a 42.2 × 42.2 × 11.1 mm case made of fiber-reinforced polymer. Visually, it shines in a soft, orchid metallic color. Garmin uses anodized aluminum for the bezel, and the 20 mm wide silicone strap can be quickly changed.

The Garmin vivoactive 5 features a 1.2-inch (approx. 3 cm) AMOLED display. The color screen, measuring approximately 30.4 mm in diameter, displays 390 x 390 pixels. An always-on display can be activated as an option. All data is displayed clearly, and the font size is adjustable.

Garmin states the vivoactive 5's battery life is 11 days. With the display continuously on, this drops to 5 days – but only in smartwatch mode. Activating GNSS mode with all systems enabled reduces the battery life to 17 hours. However, users who only need basic functions and operate the smartwatch in power-saving mode can use it for a full 21 days without recharging.

From a functional perspective, the Garmin vivoactive 5 is also flawless. It provides a comprehensive picture of individual health and, thanks to "Body Battery," helps identify personal energy drainers. Garmin Coach, with its integration with more than 30 sports apps, helps you achieve fitness goals.

It's also worth noting that, in addition to a sleep coach and smart notifications, the smartwatch features a wheelchair mode. This mode provides special functions for wheelchair users, such as recording their power strokes. Comprehensive wheelchair-user training is also integrated.

Detailed insights into health and fitness – Garmin vivoactive 5

Unlike the Garmin Instinct, epix, or fenix models, the new generation of the vivoactive doesn't necessarily appear smaller, but it does seem more delicate. However, it doesn't need to shy away from the range of functions offered by the other series. It provides diverse applications and comprehensive data analysis and recording capabilities.
