Pros and cons

According to our smartwatch expert

  • You're quickly informed of messages and incoming calls, as you receive notifications from your smartphone.
  • The watch displays heart rate zones in the app, so you can check if your workout had the desired result afterwards.
  • You get insight into your stress level and can take action to reduce it with breathing exercises.
  • Unlike other Garmin watches, you can't make contactless payments with this watch.
  • The watch doesn't have a built-in GPS receiver, so you have to bring your phone to track your route.

Description

With the Garmin Vivosmart 5 Black S/M, you can keep a close eye on your health. This activity tracker measures your activities all day and your sleep at night. After a night's sleep, you also get advice in the Garmin Connect app to improve your sleep. You can measure your steps, heart rate, Body Battery, breathing, calories, and stress level as well. Do you feel stressed? Do some breathing exercises with the watch. The Vivosmart 5 has built-in sports profiles for running, yoga, swimming, cardio exercises, and more. During outdoor activities, the incident detection is switched on. This sends your location and a message to your preset emergency contacts in case of a fall. You can wear the Garmin Vivosmart 5 all week long, because it has a 7-day battery life.

Note: a charger adapter isn't included. Want to charge the watch via a socket? Use the charger adapter of your phone charger or order a separate charger adapter.

This watch is recommended for a wrist circumference between 13 and 15cm.

Nice light fitness tracker that does everything I want

  • Light, don't feel it on the wrist
  • Quickly connect to my iPhone for GPS
  • Accurate Heart Rate Monitor
  • Sometimes a bit clumsy to bring up the right menu
Tracks everything I want. Light and small. Nice screen. Personally, I like a black and white screen. Have done almost 4 years with the vivosmart 4 it still works. My partner wears it now. The Vivosmart 5 has just a little more screen surface and reacts just a little faster.

Failed update or incorrect update..

  • Small handy model
  • Synchronization problems after update
Worked fine for a few days, but after updating the device to version 9.xx no more synchronization. Total reset, seemed to work well then, but after training the next day no more sync, circle in the Connect app hangs on a third. Device does have a connection because heart rate etc does work in the app. Sent back.
