Swiss-based multinational tech giant Garmin has launched the Vivosmart 5 fitness band in India. The device has a minimalist design, a bundle of features, and promises seven days of battery life. It is compatible with both Android and iOS. It is priced at Rs. 14,990. The wearable will be up for grabs from June 10 via brand stores, Flipkart, Amazon, and Synergizer.

Garmin's Vivosmart 5 is the successor to the Vivosmart 4 that was launched in 2019. The latest version made its global debut last month. In terms of global shipments, Garmin is ranked fifth with a 4.3% market share. The wearable has a simple design and is aimed at those who want to track various health parameters but don't like to wear a chunky smartwatch.

The Garmin Vivosmart 5 features a 0.41x0.73-inch (88x154 pixels) OLED touch display and offers 66% more screen area than the previous generation. The wearable has a water-resistant body with a physical button at the bottom of the display. It has a minimalist design and is meant for comfort.

The Garmin Vivosmart 5 is packed with health-centric features including the in-house 'body battery energy monitor,' which calculates the user's energy levels. 'Fitness Age' feature uses BMI, resting heart rate, and other parameters to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. It also provides 24x7 heart rate monitoring, stress and sleep tracking, SpO2 monitoring, and menstrual cycle tracking.

Apart from health features, the Garmin Vivosmart 5 can be connected to the smartphone's GPS to track the distance, pace, and speed of walks, runs, and bike rides. The wearable also displays notifications, weather updates, and upcoming appointments. It also has a safety and tracking feature which lets the user trigger an assistance alert by sending live location to emergency contacts.

For official pricing and availability, the Garmin Vivosmart 5 carries a price-tag of Rs. 14,990. The device is offered in Black and Mint color options. It will be available for purchase from June 10 via e-commerce platform website stores like Flipkart, Amazon, Garmin stores, and Synergiser.
