As a cheaper alternative than the Garmin Forerunner, the Vivoactive 5 is ideal for sports and health enthusiasts who want something more affordable. The watch is compact and comfortable to wear. We love the AMOLED display at this price, which is bright enough to see even when exercising during the day.
Our Garmin Vivoactive 5 review found this latest sports and health tracking wearable "a contender among the best running watches, placing it against the Garmin Venu 3 and even punching up at some of the Forerunner options". That means you're getting great features at a more affordable price.
What is it you actually get? Alongside a neat Garmin interface on an AMOLED display, you also get over 30 sports tracking options, as well as sleep and stress tracking.
The best fitness trackers offer a range of smartwatch features alongside health and exercise training. If you'd like something more premium, then you could take a look at the best Apple Watch or any of our best smartwatches for more ideas.
