- good appraisal
- Measures very accurately
- small display
- Not very clever
- GPS only via mobile
The Garmin Vivosmart 5 looks a little out of date and is more reminiscent of Samsung's first attempts. On the other hand, the inner values are right: it scores with accurate recording, and the few smart functions are also successful. Unfortunately, the mobile needs GPS.

Very good90/100

- ...still easy to operate
- Many functions

In direct sunlight, however, it is difficult to read the pricey tracker.
