I just got mines 3 days ago and I love it it’s simple basic no flashy lights and no premium bs I use it track my runs biking sleep heart rate mostly and it does a pretty good job I owned 2 apple watches that could never track accurately I’m super pleased with the garmin Vivo5 ✌🏼

[@notknownguy]

Evening would you say for a starter to get the Vivo 4 still? Or just go 5?

[@mdparker04]

Thank you for the review. Does the Vivosmart5 give stand notifications like the apple watches if you have been sitting too much?

[@gabandkisheeemp7600]

Yes it does.

Hey Chris! I was looking forward to getting the Garmin Vivosmart 5 but my main concern is the accuracy of the sensors. How is sleep and heart rate tracking? Have you tried comparing it with any other fitness band (Like Fitbit or Apple Watch) on the market?

[@HeyCMH]

Hey! I wear multiple devices at any given time, so I’m constantly analyzing and comparing data. The reality is ALL of them report something different. 😂😂 However, what I can say it all of them are consistent in reporting something different. Some are more lenient on what constitutes deep sleep (for example), and your overall sleep scores will always be a bit higher than other devices. Some are more favorable with HRV than others. I’ve had HRV scores over 90-100 on my Eight Sleep, but 50-60 on my Biostrap. The key, I have found, is to find what their baseline is and follow the trend. As far as Garmin products, I wouldn’t put them at the top for sleep measurement. But heart rate is pretty solid. If you want super dialed in sleep data, I’d probably look for something that focuses purely on nocturnal data. Oura and Biostrap are great for this. Oura customer support is total trash, and it takes forever to get your ring. I returned mine.

@@HeyCMH Hey! Thanks for the response! Apart from heart rate and sleep tracking how are the body battery and all-day stress tracking? Is it worth investing in a Garmin? Because Apple Watch SE is like 200$ more expensive than the Vivosmart 5 and also I don't want to sleep with a big watch on my wrist.

Great video, thanks! I'm considering buying a Vivosmart 4 or 5, I had an Apple watch 7, but it's too sensitive and fragile gadget for my taste, plus I like the simplicity of these bracelets more. Am I missing out a lot by choosing the Vivosmart 4 over the 5?

[@HeyCMH]

Thank you! Personally, I think the 5 fixes so many of the 4's "problems" that it's an absolute no-brainer. I think the band upgrade alone on the 5 is reason enough to make the upgrade because the 4 will absolutely break on you within a year or 2 with no possibility of a replacement. I think you'll end up spending more at the end of the day if you go 4 to save a few bucks on the front-end. That's just my opinion. Something I am curious to see in the long run is if the 5 sensor is going to dislodge itself when I'm in the middle of an activity. Something to keep an eye on.

I just ordered my vivosmart 5 after allot of research I think it will work best for me! I hate the monthly membership model as well with so many others... Thanks
