The Garmin Vivosmart 5 tracks heart rate, steps, sleep and activity, but also gives you more insight into your energy levels. But for $150, it feels a bit pricey considering this fitness tracker doesn't have a color screen or built-in GPS.

    Great review as always from Lexy! As someone who only uses fitness bands to track sleep and exercise, I don’t mind the monochrome screen since there is no paywall compared to my fitbit luxe which is frustratingly limited and can’t even sync to apple health.

    Got this a few days ago, again it's not bad. Didn't really like the selection of watch faces at first, but i eventually went for the first watch face on this - the thinner numbers - and now i really like it. With this watch face it would be similar to a Fitbit, I've generally had no issues with it at all.

    @@Davedublin it's a comparison I made to point out that the price for this Garmin watch is ridiculous and unreasonable considering it has no color screen and lacks most features you could find on other fitness bands at similar price point, like Xiaomi's which are around just $50 at the minimum. Though I have to concede that Xiaomi bands don't have accurate censors, it's enough for most people who aren't too conscious about accuracy. I couldn't attest to Garmin watch accuracy as well, given that their bands aren't medical grade either
