The Garmin Vívoactive 5 fitness tracker offers a hugely impressive range of both everyday and specialist features for keeping track of your every move — not to mention tracking progress and performance, and offering detailed feedback and coaching.
It records all the ways you move with more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor activity apps, including running, swimming, cycling, weight, strength training, meditation, and much more. And if you are a swimmer, it actually continues to track your heart rate underwater. It has you covered, no matter which kind of fitness or sports activity you prefer. There are also options for wheelchair users.
And if you like to have your music on hand (well, on the wrist) without having to faff about with your phone, the Garmin Vívoactive 4 has onboard music storage. Just download playlists from Spotify, Amazon, or other platforms.
It’s not all about relentless activity, though. The Garmin Vívoactive 5 has excellent features for tracking rest and energy levels. It measures your sleep cycles and actually coaches you on getting better sleep. You also get “body battery” monitoring, which gives insights on your rest, stress levels, workouts, and reports on how ready for the day you are.
If heart rate monitoring is key for you, this tracker also measures heart rate variability while you sleep, which helps gives an overall picture of your health.
