My favorite Garmin is heavily reduced in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
SAVE $82: As of March 27, the Garmin vívoactive 5 is on sale for $217 at Amazon. That's a 28% discount on list price.
Amazon's Big Spring Sale is finally underway, and the beloved Garmin vívoactive 5 has been discounted even further. As of March 27, you can now buy it for $217, saving you 28%. This is one of my favorite Garmins — it does a bit of everything.
This model was released in late 2023, bringing a heavy upgrade from the vívoactive 4. Unlike its predecessor, the 5 benefits from a bright AMOLED display, making colors incredibly vibrant and much more noticeable. It also has a much-improved battery life, boasting 11 days when in smartwatch mode.
For stats and tracking, it is packed with advanced health features, including heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, stress tracking, and in-depth sleep insights. The sleep insights have also had an upgrade from the previous model, now featuring sleep coaching. Sports tracking includes running, cycling, swimming, and more.
So if you like something a bit more than entry-level fitness tracking, useful lifestyle features, and a touch screen interface, this is the watch for you.
It is worth noting that if you're looking for more advanced fitness features, such as training status and training readiness, you'll need to look at higher-end Garmin watches, including the Forerunner range. But if these aren't important to you, this is a fantastic option full of useful stats and tracking abilities.
Head to Amazon to grab this great Garmin deal.
