If there\u2019s one thing that Garmin seems to understand better than other wearables companies, it\u2019s that athletes like buttons. And, it looks like the company\u2019s finally added a practical button to its latest fitness tracker<\/a>, the $149.99 Vivosmart 5. <\/p>\n

The Vivosmart 5 is a refreshed version of the Vivosmart 4<\/a> that was first launched in 2018. It keeps much of the same design as Vivosmart 4, but instead of an elegant vibe, it opts for a more practical, sportier look. The band itself has a rounded edge, and there\u2019s no more metal border surrounding the display. In its press release, Garmin also emphasized that the display is 66 percent bigger and has larger text so that it\u2019s easier to read. But the biggest difference is that the Vivosmart 5 has a proper button, and the swipe-based touchscreen is far easier to use. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tested the Vivosmart 3<\/a> and 4, and both trackers suffered from the same problem: the display. The screen on the Vivosmart 3 appeared blurry, wasn\u2019t easy to read in sunlight, and swipes didn\u2019t easily register. The Vivosmart 4 fixed the blurriness, but its menu \u201cbutton\u201d didn\u2019t always work, and the touchscreen wasn\u2019t as responsive as it should\u2019ve been. That made starting and ending activities tedious \u2014 especially with sweaty fingers. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been playing around with the Vivosmart 5, and it seems Garmin\u2019s addressed both these problems. The button works<\/em> and is slightly raised from the display, making it easy to find by feel. Likewise, I\u2019ve found the touchscreen to be much more sensitive and easy to use. I still have to put the Vivosmart 5 through its paces, but so far, this is a marked improvement to the Vivosmart line\u2019s biggest issue. <\/p>\n

Garmin\u2019s also addressed another gripe with the Vivosmart line. Previous Vivosmart trackers had a unibody design, meaning you couldn\u2019t swap out straps. The Vivosmart 5, however, introduced swappable straps. All you have to do is pop out the tracker. <\/p>\n

While most of the Vivosmart 5\u2019s changes come from the design, Garmin also added more software features. Namely, the Vivosmart 5 introduces abnormal heart rate alerts to the tracker line. It also includes Garmin\u2019s personal safety features. Pushing the button for a few seconds will trigger an assistance alert to assigned emergency contacts. Otherwise, the Vivosmart 5 keeps its predecessor\u2019s continuous heart rate monitoring, SpO2 sensors, tethered GPS, stress tracking, and 7-day battery life. <\/p>\n

The $149.99 Garmin Vivosmart 5 is available starting today and comes in black, white, and cool mint. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
