We've said it time and time again. If you're looking for a smartwatch that's all about performance, get yourself a Garmin. You'll get fantastic health and fitness tracking, along with impressive battery life. It's exactly what most people want from a smartwatch.

However, there are some trade-offs, with the main one being that Garmin's smartwatches are often quite bulky. Luckily, the brand does make some more stylish models, like the Vivoactive 5, which looks sleek and still offers great performance as well.

Not a lot of compromises

So you aren't going to be getting a month of battery life from this watch, but the Vivoactive 5 still blows the competition out of the water, running up to 11 days on a single charge. It also features a vibrant AMOLED touchscreen, along with physical buttons that can be used to navigate menus when you're in less than ideal weather situations.

The motivation you need

The Vivoactive 5 can track your health and fitness metrics, along with stress levels and sleep quality. It can even give you a general understanding of how much energy you have throughout your day, and provide tips on how to improve your workouts using the proper recovery time. The watch also comes with preloaded exercises to help you train, and the Garmin Coach can help you achieve your goals.

Don't forget, it's also a smartwatch

Since this is a smartwatch, you can also stay connected with notifications to the wrist. There's also Garmin Pay, which will allow you to make payments at supported terminals. You can also download your favorite music to the watch using supported services, and stay safe with emergency services like live location tracking.

The Connect IQ Store will also help you expand the capabilities of the watch with new apps and watch faces. As you can probably tell, there's a lot missing from the Vivoactive 5 that you'd find on other smartwatches. And at its current price of $186, we think it's the perfect one to pick up if you've been looking for something different.
