If you want a reliable, feature-rich smartwatch without spending top dollar, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a cracking choice at £164.29. The 11-day battery, clear AMOLED screen, and extensive health tracking make it ideal for daily wear and fitness enthusiasts. The current saving of £45.70 adds to its appeal, but it's a solid watch even at full price. Skip it if you need offline music storage or expect medical-grade accuracy from the sensors. For most people, though, this is a brilliant deal.
Editorial review
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a feature-packed GPS smartwatch that doesn't cost the earth, especially at the current price of £164.29. That's a solid 22% off the usual £209.99, so you're saving a tidy £45.70. This watch is designed for everyday health and fitness tracking, with a bright AMOLED touchscreen that's easy to read even in direct sunlight. Battery life is a strong point too – you can go up to 11 days on a single charge in smartwatch mode, which means fewer interruptions for charging.
Health monitoring is comprehensive. The Body Battery feature gives you a clear picture of your energy levels throughout the day, taking into account sleep, naps, stress, and workouts. Sleep tracking goes beyond the basics, offering a sleep score and personalised coaching to help you improve your rest. You also get HRV status and a morning report that summarises your key metrics. For fitness, there are over 30 built-in sports apps, covering everything from walking and running to HIIT, swimming, and golf. Wheelchair mode is a thoughtful addition, tracking pushes instead of steps and offering tailored workouts.
With a 4.4 out of 5 rating from over 10,700 reviews, this is a well-regarded watch that delivers real value. The discount makes it even more tempting, but as always, prices can change, so check the listing to confirm the deal is still live.
