ATAMI TRIP RECCOMEND
This article reviews Garmin's smartwatch "vivoactive 5". The author is particularly satisfied with the fact that it is lightweight, compact, and can record sleep logs, and evaluates it as a good value for money if you are switching from a lower-end model. On the other hand, he is disappointed that it does not have an altimeter, so you cannot record stair climbing and descending, and that it does not support bicycle power sensors. In addition, although it is slightly inferior in terms of functionality compared to other models in the same category, it is inexpensive and lightweight, so it seems to be satisfactory overall.
First of all, the Garmin vivoactive 5 is attractive for its lightweight and compact design. I was so concerned about weight reduction that I considered purchasing a smart ring, but the vivoactive 5 is very light at only 36g including the band, and it is comfortable to wear. In addition, the thinner thickness makes it possible to log sleep without stress.
In addition, the vivoactive 5 is equipped with a wide range of functions. Not only can it log your exercise as an activity tracker, but it can also automatically obtain health information such as steps, heart rate, breathing rate, sleep, blood oxygen concentration, and stress level as a daily life log. The vivosmart J HR+ did not allow me to track GPS at all, so after switching to the vivoactive 5, it has become very comfortable.
It also has a comprehensive sleep logging function. Although it is an entry-level model, it is particularly well-received for displaying your sleep score, and it automatically detects naps. In addition, it is convenient to display your remaining energy for the day as Body Battery.
In addition to these features, the vivoactive 5 also has excellent battery life. It can be used for about 11 days in smartwatch mode and about 21 hours in GPS mode, so you don't have to worry about running out of battery even during long activities.
Overall, the Garmin vivoactive 5 is a smartwatch with many advantages, such as a lightweight and compact design, a wide range of functions, and excellent battery life. It is particularly easy to use and has a high cost performance for users who place importance on recording life logs and activities.
However, even though I rarely use Connect IQ and Garmin Express, it is a bit of a hassle to need three applications to manage the device. I hope this will be improved in the future.
Above, I have listed the good points of the Garmin vivoactive 5 and written my impressions. This smartwatch has functions that are useful for health management and activity tracking, making it a convenient device for everyday use.
