Garmin vívoactive Series

Garmin vívoactive® 5 GPS Smartwatch

A bright AMOLED fitness smartwatch with up to 11 days of battery. Body Battery, Sleep Coach, HRV Status, 30+ sports apps, wheelchair mode, music and Garmin Pay in a light 42 mm design.

  • 1.2″ AMOLED
  • Up to 11 days
  • Built-in GPS
  • 36 g

Our Take

The vívoactive 5 is the Garmin we recommend most to people buying their first real fitness watch. It has the bright AMOLED screen people expect from a smartwatch, but lasts up to 11 days between charges instead of one.

Where it earns its keep is health. Body Battery tells you how much energy you have today. Sleep Coach and HRV Status show whether you actually recovered. Built-in GPS, 30+ sports apps and VO2 max cover your workouts, and wheelchair mode makes it one of the few mainstream smartwatches built for wheelchair users.

Know what it is not: there is no barometric altimeter, so no floors climbed, and no running power or route following. If those matter, step up to the vívoactive 6 or a Forerunner. For everyday health, fitness and smart features, the vívoactive 5 covers it.

Find the right Vivo for you

vívoactive 6 is the most training-focused model here; vívoactive 5 offers many daily fitness features at a potentially lower price. vívomove Trend combines analog styling with Garmin Pay and wireless charging. vívosmart 5 is the slim alternative for activity and sleep tracking.

What does “calories burned” mean?

It estimates total energy burned, combining resting and activity calories. It is not the same as food calorie logging or nutritional intake tracking.

Why are there multiple checkboxes instead of a multi-select Sort menu?

Filters decide which watches qualify and support multiple selections. Sorting decides the order of those qualifying watches, so it stays a single choice.

Why does the comparison show different GPS options?

vívoactive 5 and 6 have built-in GPS. vívomove Trend and vívosmart 5 use a compatible connected phone for recorded GPS routes.

Customers praised this GPS smartwatch for its excellent health and fitness monitoring capabilities. Reviews highlighted that it's "easy to set up and personalize," "lightweight yet very sturdy," and "simple to use." The health tracking features motivated shoppers to improve their wellness. All reviews were 5-star ratings with no complaints mentioned.
