If you want a simple, comfortable tracker that focuses on everyday health and activity, the Garmin vívosmart 5 is built to keep things straightforward. After setup in the Garmin Connect app, you get a touchscreen and button interface and a brighter, bigger display than the vívosmart 4 for easier reading.

It’s designed for all-day wear with up to 7 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, and it’s safe for swimming and showering. You can monitor key wellness stats like respiration, Pulse Ox (not available in all countries; not a medical device), stress, hydration, women’s health, and Body Battery energy levels—along with heart rate and low/high heart rate alerts (once set up in the Garmin Connect app).
For fitness, built-in sports apps include profiles such as walking, running, yoga, cardio, and pool swimming. When you bring your phone along, you can connect to your smartphone’s GPS to map outdoor walks, runs, and rides. You’ll also stay in the loop with smart notifications for calls, texts, calendar view, and more when paired with your smartphone.
