Garmin’s Vivoactive 5 takes what worked in the last model and dials it up a notch. It packs a sharp AMOLED display and loads of fitness tools to keep your health in check. New features like sleep coaching and guided meditations add a more mindful touch, helping you tune in to your body like never before.
With the weather heating up, it’s the perfect time to take your workouts outside, whether that means hitting the pavement or exploring a trail. And if you’re looking to keep tabs on your stats while you’re at it, a reliable fitness smartwatch can make all the difference.
Enter the Garmin Vivoactive 5, now going for just $190 (down from $300). That’s a rare 37% off and the lowest it’s ever been. The deal covers the black model, but if you’re into a pop of color, the Orchid version is also sitting pretty at $190.99.
Why the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is worth your money
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a standout fitness wearable that gives big-name smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch a run for their money. While it leans more toward fitness tracker than full-on smartwatch, it’s packed with built-in activity profiles for everything from hiking and weightlifting to golf, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and rock climbing. Furthermore, the built-in GPS has your distance and pace covered, so you can leave your phone behind and still stay on track.
It’s loaded with over 30 built-in sports apps for everything from running and cycling to HIIT and more, making it an excellent choice for athletes. There’s even a wheelchair mode that tracks pushes instead of steps, which is a thoughtful touch. On top of that, sleep tracking and the Body Battery feature give you smart recovery tips, so you know when to power through and when to take it easy.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 steps up its sleep tracking with built-in coaching to help you get better rest. When we tested it, what really stood out was how light and comfy it felt on the wrist, not to mention the sharp AMOLED screen and a battery that keeps going for up to 11 days.
