FAQs
Is the Garmin Vivosmart 5 waterproof, and what activities can I use it for in water?
Yes, it has 5 ATM water resistance (50 meters), making it suitable for swimming, showers, or pool laps; it tracks swim strokes and distance in pool mode, but avoid high-velocity water like scuba or waterskiing to prevent damage.
How long does the battery last on the Vivosmart 5, and how do I charge it?
It provides up to 7 days in smart mode or 5 days with always-on display; use the included proprietary Garmin clip charger that snaps onto the back—full charge takes about 1–2 hours, and it’s recommended to charge every few days for continuous tracking.
Does the Vivosmart 5 have built-in GPS, or does it rely on my phone?
It uses connected GPS, meaning it taps into your paired smartphone’s GPS for accurate outdoor tracking of distance and pace during walks, runs, or cycles; no onboard GPS, so keep your phone nearby for location-based activities.
What health metrics does the Vivosmart 5 track, and how accurate is the heart rate?
It monitors 24/7 heart rate, HRV status, stress, respiration, Body Battery energy, advanced sleep stages with score, and Pulse Ox spot-checks; the Elevate V3 optical sensor is generally accurate for daily use but may vary during intense workouts compared to a chest strap.
