Capable of SO MUCH MORE than it says on the box (a few tips and bug fixes here)
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
TL;DR — This is a great basic fitness tracker which, with a little extra effort on your part, can be turned into a shockingly robust data collection device, comparable to much more powerful and expensive units. When combined with the Garmin Connect app, which IMO is the best fitness data collection app out there (and 100% free, no paywall), you’ve got a real powerhouse system. My review will cover some tips for how to get the most out of the device, as well as one annoying bug fix. I hope all of this is helpful to you! ABOUT ME AND MY PARAMETERS: I am a daily cyclist and I also do strength training 2-3 times a week. I do not want or need to use my full-function Garmin head unit on every ride, and I also wanted to track my weight workouts; but there are not many (affordable) products which can effectively track both things in the same place(s). I was not interested in the overkill of the ubiquitous fruit-logo company's watch, and I did not have the money for any of the larger Garmin watches. But researching the vivosmart5 gave me hope that I could manipulate its default functionalities into a tracker robust enough to compete with much, MUCH more expensive devices, and I have — so here are a bunch of use-case tips (and a few bug fixes) which I hope are helpful to you too. Out of the box, the vivosmart5 is a great little fitness tracker — unbelievably accurate HR readings, extremely detailed and effective sleep tracking, custom settings for motivation (can remind you to hydrate or to get up and move, etc), bare-bones fitness effort data collection, super fast charging and long battery life, water/sweat proof, and easy to clean. For default effort tracking, you can click through little preset activity recording functions and get rudimentary data such as “bike ride, X minutes, top/avg heart rate X/X bpm,” or “weight workout, X minutes, X reps, top/avg heart rate X/X bpm,” or just a simple “walk/run, X minutes, X steps.” And all of that is awesome, particularly because the app (which, again, is 100% FREE, no paywall) is one of the strongest fitness data collection apps out there. So even just these minor collections of data are compiled into an easy-to-read daily/weekly/monthly/yearly format showing areas in which you can improve, or just giving you the knowledge you need to evaluate your efforts for your intended results. Plus it can sync with other apps, such as Strava, Ride With GPS, or even the fruit company’s default Health and Fitness apps. BUT, here’s what it can really do. Let’s start with cycling (and probably running, too). The vivosmart5 does not have its own GPS, but you can pair it with the Garmin Connect app on your phone and it will use your phone's GPS. So now instead of just “bike ride, X minutes, top/avg heart rate X/X bpm,” you’ll get a breakdown in the app which is much more like a proper head unit’s data, including a map of your effort with multiple overlay choices, total distance, moving time versus total time, elevation — practically everything other than cadence and power-meter based stuff. That’s … HUGE for a sub-two-hundred-dollar fitness tracker. And for strength training? The vivosmart5 will automatically count your reps (not always super accurate, but you can adjust that right on the watch face itself during rest periods), and if you attend to your sets by starting/stopping them on the watch face, you’ll end up with a loose dataset at the end of your workout, which you can THEN go through item-by-item in the app and flesh out by choosing the exercise type and the weight/resistance. Now instead of “weight workout, X minutes, X reps, top/avg heart rate X/X bpm,” you’ll have a full breakdown of your effort, including a little illustrated human figure showing the muscle groups worked (primary and secondary). As you can see, and as I’ve said before in this review, you must do some of the work here. But to me, this little extra effort is worth the huge price difference between this and even the lowest-price-point Garmin GPS watch, especially because when you do these things, the Garmin Connect app will begin to give you comparative points, awards for accomplishments, and other things that it would normally only do when you’re using much more expensive Garmin devices. It is not without its faults, though, and in the interest of full disclosure, here you go. 1 - An annoying bug fix! Because the vivosmart5 does not have a lot of RAM or a very powerful chip, you’re going to need to restart it every once in a while, especially if you’re really pushing its functionality, as I do. In fact, if you DON’T restart it every once in a while, it will do some weeeiiird buggy stuff when recording GPS-based efforts. Sometimes it will randomly record your speed at several THOUSAND miles an hour. Sometimes it will add your current distance to an old ride and record the whole thing as a new ride. It can get wonky, but I’ve solved this by simply turning the watch off and then on again before every ride (takes 30 seconds) — I have not had a single problem since I began doing that. 2 - The band’s buckle and keeper loop are positioned to the outside of the wrist, meaning that when you write or type, you’re resting your wrist on this uncomfortable little knob. I almost returned it on day one because of this but then I realized that you can reverse the band — just pop the actual watch unit out, turn the band around the other way, and put the watch unit back in. Now the buckle and loop keeper are on the inside face of the wrist, and no more problem. 3 - It has a proprietary charging cable. COME ON, MAN, REALLY? Even with a few little annoyances, I am a full-time proselytizer and apologist for this little device. It is unobtrusive and bare-bones, but contains so much potential and power that you’d never know it. I really hope this helps you because I’ve found a huge amount of value in this little device. Why spend almost five hundred bucks when you can … NOT? ... show more

Better than fitbit
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
I used fitbit for years, but they stopped supporting family/friend weekly challenges. I still ended up using them for a while, but the band would constantly fall apart and need replacing regardless of the version I had at the time. Finally my fitbit just stopped working after an update and I gave up and looked into Garmin. Garmin has family/friend weekly challenges you can create, the stats seem more realistic if maybe less precise, I've never had an issue with the band and it seems like it will last a very long time, battery life is so long you don't have to think about it as long as you don't turn on the blood oxygen stuff. Don't turn on the blood oxygen stuff, i makes the battery last like a day and it will also blind you at night if you are wearing it loosely. ... show more

NOT for small wrists!
Color: Cool Mint Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
My wife tried using the watch for about 2 weeks. She has small wrists and noticed right away the watch size from top to bottom was larger than her wrist, causing it not to fit properly against the skin. Still, she thought it was going to be OK so continued to setup the app and began using it. The watch wasn't counting her steps correctly if at all. Even with the band pulled so tight it left marks on her arm, the sensors didn't seem to register properly. At night it said she didn't get any sleep, when walking, it registered sporadically. The battery only lasted about a day and a half even with the blood/oxy function set to off as instructions mentioned. We think that was due to the sensors constantly lighting to try to get readings when not contacting her wrist. She had trouble reading the watch face as it kept switching back to other functions in the middle of what she was trying to read. Even the out-of-box experience was difficult as the instructions were unclear about getting it out of 'demo mode' and we had to resort to using the internet to learn how to get it going normally. The watch came with a special cable to plug into the back for charging, but it terminates in a USB -C plug and does not come with a charger. New devices that use type C have always included a USB-C to USB-A cable. We had to purchase a charger that included the C jack just to charge the watch. This was not mentioned in the description and came as a disappointment when we tried to use the watch originally. As I write this review, I'm changing my rating from a '2' to a '1' remembering all the trouble we had using this watch. ... show more

A Year Later, No Regrets...Update...6-27-2026
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
6-26-2026 Still doing the it's job and still no subscriptions for the features I want. Upgraded to 5 stars for durability and performance as it has been worn daily since purchased. I chose this model because Garmin did not require a subscription to access the features. As with anything, you'll see mixed reviews. For me personally, a 57 year old with Afib, here's my experience: Apparently the Garmin is not rated for doing an accurate reading on Afib. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. It has shown a few spikes I've had and gives me a daily heart rate range. While small and comfortable, at 57, it's a little tough to read and run through the menu's. The Garmin app works perfectly with my Galaxy S25+ even though I do not use all the features. I'm only concerned with the features that apply to me. Not tracking, etc...etc. The Garmin app will only sync with the watch while on wifi for me, not bluetooth. I do not have a data plan, so it may be different for you if you have data. I saw some reviews mentioning the watch easily falling out of the band and being lost etc. After a year, I've only had the Garmin fall out of the original band by accidentally pushing it backwards, when I was not wearing it, for charging. As to battery life, the way I use it, it's been a year and I get about 2 days out of it. I do regularly put it on a charger when I wake up and go through my morning routine of showering etc. For what I was after this was a solid purchase with no regrets at all. 4 stars because I don't know if the heart rate monitor is accurate and the small screen. 5 stars across the board for the way I use it. ... show more

Pretty good

Review Image by Christmas Magpie
UPDATE: 7/28/25: In 2024, days before the warranty expired, the watch started flickering and then died. I phoned Garmin. They asked me to return just the watch element (not the band!), and they would mail me a new watch element. The whole process took a little over a week. The new watch element has no warranty, so when it dies I will have to buy a new watch. Fair enough! Garmin honored the warranty. It's almost a year since the watch was replaced, and it's still running well. And I've gotten used to the original neoprene band, which does "buzz" your wrist when you have an incoming call or text on your phone, if you have linked them. I do rely on that feature. UPDATE 9/6/23: Watch/tracker is still working great. Found numerous compatible bands to replace the uncomfortable silicone band. My favorite, with easy hook+loop closure: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2ZN38TL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Initial review: Watch face is easy to read and illuminated; brightness/dimness can be adjusted. Easy to scroll through metrics and data. Lightweight -- barely notice that I'm wearing it. Accurate enough for my general purposes -- am just trying to stay active and healthy, and am no longer an athlete. I am ok with general/approximate measurements, don't need exact measurements. Easy to sync with phone, and the app is pretty easy to manipulate and comprehend. Battery life is good. I use the Garmin all night to report on my sleep, so battery is used 24/7, and lasts 4 days or so between charges. Am quite pleased with this purchase. UPDATE, 4 months after writing initial review (above): I'm still very pleased with this Garmin watch. I wear it daily, and really like it. It's easy to read outdoors as well as indoors, the battery is still holding a charge for about 4 days, and another great feature is its Bluetooth connection to my phone. I don't always hear my phone alerts when I'm outdoors, but the Garmin watch "buzzes" my wrist, so I know I'm receiving a call or a message. The only criticism I have is that I don't find the silicone wristband comfortable. It gets slick with sweat, and is not very flexible, either. Sweat and grime build up inside the compartment where the watch sets into the band, so I have to remember to wipe it out. It takes some getting used to, and I feel a great relief when I take it off, so I'll be looking for a more hygienic and comfortable band that's compatible. ... show more

A solid fitness watch plus
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
UPDATE: after about 18 months, I'm afraid it's again time for a new watch - the last one lasted about this long as well. It stopped syncing this week, and I spent about an hour troubleshooting (first using the Garmin website, then with live chat) and got it back, but lost sleep data - the ability to track sleep data. It's working again, mostly, but I had to re-register it, and re-set several things on it. FIRST REVIEW: This is my 4th version of this watch, and I'm pleased with each one and its enhancements over the previous one. Step gait is customizable, so it's accurate. While it reduces battery life, I like the feature that notifies me when I'm too far from my phone (I've tried to leave the house many times without my phone). The battery life sacrifice is worth it to me. The workout options work well, including weight training - although it doesn't always guess what I'm doing correctly, it can be edited and the app will highlight muscles worked. The 5 went back to a button for mode switches, which is easier than tapping on the 4. Respiration and detailed sleep scores are added to the 5, which are nice to have. The watch face on the 5 has more options, although I haven't found one that I like yet - would like to have the same as the 4, with time, battery life and steps progress. The only 2 things I don't like better are the inability to easily check battery life and size - each watch is just a bit bigger than the last. And the size catches on sleeves and tends to get scratched easier, as its more exposed. But overall a good Garmin product for the athlete who doesn't need ultra detail for workouts, but wants some good feedback. ... show more

It comes on in the middle of the night!
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
I’ve been using the vivosmart 5 for a few months and it’s not perfect. This is actually the second one, since after several long troubleshooting calls they said the first one was defective. I returned for exchange and they sent back the watch face only, not with the band, so I had to call again to get a band which was replaced for free. I continued to have the same problem with the second one, which was at night, during the “sleep hours” which I had previously set up on the Connect app, it would randomly come on when I moved my arm (“gesture”) or touched the screen. A bright light shining in your face in the middle of the night is super annoying! So, I called again and the agent asked me to take a video of the problem and email it. No response. They told me “eventually the watch will get used to you answer settle down.” It was inconsistent…some nights it would come on with gesture and some night not. And it will always come on if you touch the screen twice, no matter what mode you've put it in. More phone calls and finally an agent told me that the Garmin Connect app on the phone had to be running in the background at all times and be within Bluetooth range of the watch (30 feet). If you swipe the app closed on your phone, the watch cannot sync to information such as sleep hours, weather, etc. Later, I talked to a different CS agent who said the app did not have to be running for "sleep hours" to work, but it did have to be open and I must leave the location setting for the Connect app on "always" for the weather feature to work. She also said I should sync the watch to the phone daily and it was designed to come on both when you push the button and when you touch the screen twice, even in the middle of the night if it accidentally touches some other part of your body. Regarding steps, the counter on the watch always reads much higher that the built-in counter on my phone. I called Garmin again to ask why and they explained that the watch doesn’t count steps, it actually counts arm movements. So, if you’re grocery shopping and you keep your hand still while pushing the cart, no steps. If you’re folding laundry or lifting hand weights, you get steps. I have found that keeping the watch in “gesture on” mode (which is the default) you burn through the battery pretty fast and have to recharge more frequently. So every morning I reset to “gesture off” mode and the battery will last a week. Even with gesture off, if your finger (or some other body part when you’re sleeping) touches the screen twice it will turn on. The main watch face can show up to three “widgets” (in addition to date and time which are fixed) but there are actually seven widgets and you have to tap to scroll through to see the ones you are most interested in tracking. There’s no way to customize the main screen to lock your favorite widgets in place. So, I’m a little frustrated that it took three months and numerous phone calls to get this figured out. Even after reading the full downloadable users guide I have questions about functionality. It’s the only smart watch I have tried and I’ll keep it since it pairs with the Garmin Edge 530 on my road bike and I can watch my heart rate on my road bike computer. Bicycle activity mode on the watch is probably helpful if you don't have a bike computer - it seemed to match up with my Edge 530 - but if you want to see your heart rate displayed on the Edge device, you need to set it to "Broadcast". ... show more

Garmin Vivo Smart 5 owned almost 2 years
Color: Black Style: Fitness Tracker S/M
I purchased a Garmin tracker because of good experience. (March 2024) My last Garmin was a Vivo Smart 3. The features I planned to use most: Exercise, Heart rate, intensity, calories burned, stress, fitness age, track weight, sleep tracking, body battery, and fitness age. I also used it for the alarm and calendar. Just past the one year mark the alarm feature stopped working. It started vibrating for no apparent reason and wouldn’t shut off. The only thing that fixed it was to turn that feature off. I figured I could live with it since it was no longer under warranty and the main features still worked About August 2025 the sleep feature stopped working properly. Occasionally it would report no sleep data. I tried troubleshooting with the Connect App. It worked off and on. Now, 1/15/2026 it has been about 19 days since the sleep feature has worked. I can’t afford to purchase a new watch. I don’t think it is unreasonable to expect this fitness tracker/watch to last longer. I purchased this tracker because it had all the features I wanted and believed I would not need to purchase another fitness tracker for many years. Now because of my circumstances I am unable to purchase a new watch. My husband passed away in September after a long illness. I was his only caretaker There are so many things that I need to deal with because of his death finding the money to purchase a new tracker should not be one of them. I spent a lot of time researching fitness trackers before choosing the Garmin brand. I choose it because of the features and reasonable price. I hope my review helps other people in their decision when purchasing a fitness tracker. ... show more
