Verdict

The Garmin Vivosmart 5 is a lightweight fitness tracker featuring a 0.73-inch monochrome OLED touchscreen (88 x 154 pixels) and a single physical button for improved navigation. Its main characteristics include 24/7 heart rate monitoring, Pulse Ox blood oxygen saturation tracking, stress management, and Garmin's Body Battery energy monitoring, along with a swim-ready 5 ATM water resistance rating. Pros include a comfortable slim design with interchangeable bands, up to 7 days of battery life, and comprehensive health insights without a required subscription. However, it lacks built-in GPS (requiring a connected smartphone for location data) and an altimeter for tracking floors climbed, and its monochrome display can be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
