________________________________________________________________________
Four years after the release of the popular Vivoactive 4, Garmin has finally introduced a successor with the Vivoactive 5. A lot of things are new, including the fact that the watch now comes with an AMOLED display. But how good is Garmin's new fitness smartwatch? That's exactly what I've tested over the past few weeks. In this video, I tell you about all the pros and cons. Enjoy! 😉

It's a garmin with a sweet entry price. Nobody will be disappointed owning one

Thank you, looks like a great watch for the money. I don't need titanium, barometer was crappy anyway, I don't call via watch, it's small and lightweight, has a good battery and display, what else does an average user need? 🤷‍♂️

Good review. Hate that Garmin on a black model puts in a grey button. Makes it look cheap like a toy. Easy to remember the top button is to shortcut to an activity.

Thanks for the video. Question that hopefully you can answer: you showed GPS tracking accuracy but what about if someone wants to navigate from A to B or to back track? Does it have maps or is it like in the Instinct? Thanks in advance

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 8 месяцев назад

Hi, unfortunately the Vivoactive 5 does not have maps. You can use a back track feature, but it is just a directional arrow showing you where to go, so no topographic maps or anything like that... You can use that to go back home or to go to any location that you saved. No routes, no maps. Hope this helps!

@domxem5551 8 месяцев назад

Yes, thanks. Just like the Instinct

Thanks for this review, any inputs on the sleep tracking accuracy in your opinion?

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 6 месяцев назад

Hey, sleep tracking in general is never 100% accurate for any watch out there, more like 80-90%. According to my experience however, Garmin does a great job, one of the most accurate sleep trackings at the moment.

How's the vibration motor?

@bettyboop1524 5 месяцев назад

How is the glare in the sun on the watch face. Several reviews mention this is a Garmin issue. This certainly looks like a good watch. I'd be a casual user/not too tech savvy would this be a good choice? Thank you very much

I have a vivoactive 4 I bought refurbished for an entry watch to see if i continue to run. I’m a year in and now looking to upgrade looking at the 265 just for the customer workouts preplanned in. Does this come with the 5 vs the 265? Having a recommendation helps a lot to make me do intervals hills etc

Nejsou na chlapskou ruku moc malé? I am deciding between Vivoactive 5 or Amazfit Balance. They have a 1.5" display and also make calls via Bluetooth... Can you compare which is better?

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I didn’t test the Amazfit Balance so far.. but thanks for the hint, I will test it as soon as I can :)

Was sind denn die Unterschiede zur venu 3?

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 8 месяцев назад

Dazu kommt demnächst noch ein Video :) Größtenteils die smarten Funktionen, wie Sprachassistenten etc, die du auf der Venu 3, aber nicht auf der Vivoactive 5 findest.

@GK-qc5ry 8 месяцев назад

The interface seems alot more fluid than the Venu Sq 2 when scrolling.

@brucelin5842 8 месяцев назад

Do u think it’s worth it to upgrade from venu sq2 to venu ?

@Xdc5 7 месяцев назад

@@brucelin5842 I've played a couple of minutes with all of them in the store: Venu sq2, Venu 2plus, Venu 3, VA5. For an average user VA5 is an awesome value for the money. If you are an athletic user you may want to go with specialized lines such as FR, those are great as well. Venu 3 has the new looks and software but in terms of hardware is a bit cheaper than Venu 2 Plus. Buttons are too soft and not clicky as in V2P. Sq2 looks outdated and slow and reacts much worse to touches and scrolling than VA5. VA5 is snappy and the touch screen is great. I have upgraded from VA3, it's night and day :)

Is this suitable for gym use ?

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 8 месяцев назад

Pretty much like most sports watches out there, it doesn’t track the heart rate accurately while in the gym but other than that, it is suitable. However, other watches, such as especially the Forerunner watches provide more features, like training readiness etc.

@brucelin5842 8 месяцев назад

@@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx so which Watch would u recommend for gym use? I’m using iPhone…thinking of whether to get Apple Watch or Garmin venu 3…

@Xdc5 8 месяцев назад

@@brucelin5842if you are ok with charging the apple watch daily and you are not a garmin user, AW can be a better option. It is a premium watch with many useful features not found in the Vivoactive, which is a budget watch.
