What is the Garmin "Body Battery" feature on the Vivoactive 5?
Body Battery is a proprietary Garmin metric that uses heart rate variability, stress, and sleep data to calculate your daily energy reserves on a scale of 0 to 100. It helps users understand the best times to work out and when they need to rest.
Can you make phone calls with the Garmin Vivoactive 5?
No, the Vivoactive 5 lacks a built-in microphone and speaker for taking calls, unlike the more expensive Garmin Venu 3. However, it can still display incoming text and call notifications when paired with your smartphone.
How long does the battery last on the Vivoactive 5?
In standard smartwatch mode with the display on, it offers up to 11 days of battery life. If you heavily use the GPS tracking for continuous activities, that battery life drops significantly to around 21 hours.
