Garmin has a huge lineup of sports watches and we understand how it might be hard to navigate this vastness, but this here Garmin Vivoactive 5 might be the one worth knowing about if you are on a tighter budget.
If you want a true Garmin sports watch with the five physical buttons for navigation, look at either the $250or if you want more advanced features and a choice of two sizes, consider the Garmin Forerunner 265 series. unboxing experience is very barebones. The packaging feels kind of cheap, you get a box and inside it you have the watch with a strap already on it, then you have the proprietary Garmin charging cable , as well as a user manual.
Unlike pricier Garmin watches which typically come in two or even three sizes, the Vivoactive 5 is among the company's budget models and it is only available in one 42mm size. On the bottom side of the watch, you can find the Elevate Gen 4 sensor, which is one generation behind the newest Gen 5 sensor that you get on the. Some tests show that the newer Gen 5 sensor is a bit more accurate with heart rate tracking and it theoretically has the hardware required for ECG, which you don't find on this here Gen 4 sensor. The silicone band included with the watch is nothing to write home about, but it is quite comfortable to wear and pleasingly soft to the touch.
We found the Vivoactive 5 was mostly accurate with the time you fell asleep and the time you woke up, which are the most important metrics. It also gives you a breakdown of sleep stages. And it has the Sleep Score which is a quite useful metric to give you a quick estimate of your sleep quality.
