The Garmin vívoactive® 5 in Metallic Navy Aluminum Bezel with Navy Case and Silicone Band is a GPS smartwatch built for everyday health, fitness, and connected convenience. With a bright 1.2” AMOLED touchscreen display, it’s designed for people who want clear, at-a-glance stats during workouts and throughout the day.
This configuration supports detailed wellness insights such as Body Battery™ energy monitoring, sleep scoring with Sleep Coach, HRV status, and wrist-based heart rate. It also brings training tools like workout benefit and recovery time, along with more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps. In smartwatch mode, it delivers up to 11 days of battery life.
Training
Body Battery™ energy monitoring helps show how daily activity, naps, stress, and sleep can affect energy throughout the day. After training, workout benefit and recovery time provide a clearer view of how a session impacted the body and how long to recover before the next challenge.
Health
Sleep Coach delivers a sleep score plus personalized coaching for how much sleep is needed and ways to improve. It also tracks sleep stages and naps and includes HRV status during sleep, helping build a more complete picture of nightly recovery and wellness trends.
Connectivity
When paired with a compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone, vívoactive 5 displays smart notifications for emails, texts, and alerts. It also supports Garmin Pay™ contactless payments with participating providers and lets users download music from supported services for phone-free listening (subscription may be required).
Training
With more than 30 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps, vívoactive 5 tracks a wide range of ways to move, including walking, running, cycling, and pool swimming, plus activities for wheelchair users. For structured progress, Garmin Coach offers adaptive or prebuilt running or strength training plans, and workouts can be created in the Garmin Connect™ app using more than 1,600 exercises and sent to the watch.
Health
Morning Report provides an at-a-glance overview as soon as the day begins, including sleep, recovery, daily calendar, and HRV status, with additional insights available. The report can be customized to show preferred items, helping users focus on the metrics that matter most before planning training, work, or rest.
