#GOOGLE MYTRACKS WITH VIVOSMART ANDROID#
This is apart from receiving a text message from Android itself, according to Garmin's homepage.Īnother disappointing aspect: The vívosmart 5 is incompatible with Garmin's wide range of accessories, which enable a more accurate heart rate measurement via chest strap or the precise measurement of cadence via foot sensors. If you receive a WhatsApp message, you can read it, but you have to dig the smartphone out from your sweatpants pocket to react or reply. © NextPitĬompared to other models, the Garmin vívosmart 5 lets users down by the fact that you cannot even react to the most important notifications via an emoji or short message. Your tracking data during training is nicely presented in the app. This is by no means the first in the world to offer such a function, but it is especially valuable here due to the dull OLED display. If you sometimes lack the necessary motivation, even when it comes to something as basic as drinking water, this is very helpful in getting more exercise into your daily routine.Īnother practical feature is that you can also adjust the fitness tracker's settings in the smartphone app. Or you can be motivated by the rewards, badges, and congratulatory messages that the app regularly sends to your smartband via notifications. Using Garmin Insights, you can even compare these results with other users in your age category. For each sporting activity, you can see exactly how often and the level of intensity you have indulged in over the course of days and weeks. This application has a logical and sensible structure and presents relevant data in tables, graphs, and overviews like a true model student. If you read our reviews of Garmin devices on a regular basis, you will know that we are enthusiastic about the Garmin Connect app. No connection option to Garmin accessories.However, you will have to settle for the bare minimum when it comes to smart functions. The vívosmart 5 connects to your smartphone via the Garmin Connect app. Overall, Garmin remains true to its line of high-quality fitness devices.Īpp & Smart Functions: Garmin's secret weapon The continuous blinking of the sensors was clearly perceptible in the dark bedroom and could have been avoided with a slightly better designed wristband. However, the strong "light leakage" of the sensors bothered me at night. In terms of size, it is inconspicuous enough for this task with dimensions of 19.5 x 10.7 x 217 mm (S / M) and 19.5 x 10.7 x 255 mm (L) and a weight of 24.5 and 26.5 grams, respectively. I was happy about this in the review, because the Garmin tracker also does not mind being used as a sleep tracker. The tracker features a silicone wristband thatmakes it very easy to clean. Thanks to a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, you can also wear the vívosmart 5 while swimming. The display has been enlarged by 66 percent. The rest of the navigation is performed via the touch display. Unlike many inexpensive models, an ambient light sensor is on board, and operating it via a physical button that is located directly below the display is also a good idea. It was easy to read in all situations throughout the review, but its monochrome OLED display always looks a bit dull. Garmin's vívosmart is like two peas in a pod apart from the 66 percent larger display. The wristband is made of silicone and is fastened to the wrist via a conventional watch clasp, where it can be swapped for a different look. The manufacturer still relies on a monochrome OLED panel with a resolution of 88 x 154 pixels. Garmin has been able to enlarge the display of the vívosmart 5 by 66 percent compared to its predecessor.
