Garmin Vivoactive 5 Smartwatch

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 features a bright AMOLED display that shows you health- and fitness-related info at a glance. It monitors your stress levels, sleep, heart rate, workouts, among others, and presents them to you as organized scores. Plus, the Body Battery energy monitoring mode informs you when you are good on energy and when you need to rest up for a while to boost your energy levels. The device can even help you track your menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and medication intake.

The smartwatch is integrated with over 30 indoor and GPS sports apps to track your body movements when performing various activities, like swimming, cycling, and walking. What makes it different from ordinary smartwatches is the wheelchair mode.
