Garmin Vivoactive 5 Review

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a solid and more affordable AMOLED alternative to Garmin's pricier Venu wearable.

Sharp AMOLED colour screen ; Solid sports tracking modes ; Well integrated smartwatch features

Watch UI still needs some refining ; Can’t track elevation like Vivoactive 4 ; Misses out on useful Training Readiness metric

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a solid and more affordable AMOLED sports watch alternative to Garmin’s pricier Venu, which might not match it for smartwatch smarts, but still offers a great experience all round.

Garmin Vivoactive 5 review: Health and fitness tracking finds a perfect balance

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 saves you money over a Forerunner while still packing in the features

Upgraded AMOLED display ; On-watch music streaming ; Powerful health and sports tracking options

Minimal buttons ; No barometric altimeter ; No Training Readiness

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 offers more sports and health tracking metrics than most will need while staying compact and easy to see with that stunning AMOLED display. But this lacks some features that may sway you to pay more for a Forerunner.

Great, four-day battery life (with Always-on) ; Plenty of supported workout types ; Comfortable to wear 24/7 ; Affordable price

Uninspiring design, buttons wobble on our unit ; No barometric altimeter ; No advanced sports tracking (triathlon), no maps
