The Garmin Vivosmart 5 is a lightweight, lean fitness tracker for anyone who values data above looks. It's not as chic as a Fitbit Luxe or Inspire 2, but packs a whole lot more info and insights at your fingertips, with even more available in the Garmin Connect mobile app (with no subscription fee). The lack of on-board GPS is a shame, but for keeping tabs on your everyday wellbeing and recovery stats, it's excellent.
