The Garmin Vivosmart 5 tracks heart rate, steps, sleep and activity, but also gives you more insight into your energy levels. But for $150, it feels a bit pricey considering this fitness tracker doesn’t have a color screen or built-in GPS.

    Buy mi band ???? it’s way better

    • Mr Egusi

      April 20, 2022 at 11:57 am

      You have to be absolutely delusional to even compare a Mi Band to a Garmin.
      I have never seen a serious athlete wear a xiaomi.

    • Fareez Rashdan

      April 20, 2022 at 12:36 pm

      Mi Band much better and affordable for many consumers. There no brand can beat the price and have decent quality like Mi Band.

    • 얼룩뻐꾸기

      April 20, 2022 at 5:25 pm

      @Fareez Rashdan Mi band’s HR sensor and sleep tracking are terrible

    • Hayden Wong

      April 20, 2022 at 10:48 pm

      For the average user the mi band is great but for serious athletes then neither the vivosmart 5 or the mi band is great

  5. Torro Torrentazos

    April 20, 2022 at 11:33 am

    Meh, just 150 USD… I am looking for a band more expensive – something like 750-900 USD…

    • Vijaya kakde

      April 20, 2022 at 1:53 pm

      Give me rest of 750USD and get this one. You will have a satisfaction that it did cost you 900USD????

    • Kingkongolee

      April 20, 2022 at 3:35 pm

      What a coincidence, Im offering a special version of the Garmin vivosmart. It only comes for 899 USD plus shipping.

      Hai boy haaaaiiiii ????

    Wow, overpriced late to the market product review great video. NOT. I’ll admit I like
    Garmin, but I only buy from the second market because there stuff is overpriced.

    Excellent review! Disappointing that it’s mono screen! Does it have Garmin Pay?

    do people wear smart watch while sleeping?

    • Hayden Wong

      April 20, 2022 at 10:49 pm

      I do

    • Ben Dover

      April 21, 2022 at 2:02 am

      The vivosmart watches I definitely do. Because it is so slim it’s A LOT more comfortable than most smart watches that USUALLY have a huge clock interface

    • heymoona

      April 21, 2022 at 2:12 am

      @Ben Dover thanks, was thinking of getting one

    • Ben Dover

      April 21, 2022 at 2:43 am

      @heymoona me too! I was about to buy the 4 the other week…. Glad I held off!
      I’ve been wearing an older version everyday for 3 years now and STILL no issues!
      Best piece of technology I’ve ever owned…

    April 21, 2022 at 1:34 pm

    Yea this is a hard pass black and white screen, no color, have to take your phone with you and over priced I’ll stick with my Fitbit.

  19. Rix Morales

    April 21, 2022 at 2:02 pm

    $150 for a simple looking fitness band? I could buy two Xiaomi smart bands with that price, and they’re more advanced than this
