Garmin’s Vivoactive 5 builds on the success of its predecessor with a sharp AMOLED screen and plenty of fitness features for tracking your health. The best part is that this watch doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb on your wrist, making it great for all occasions and settings. And now, for a limited time, you can score this watch for $100 less.

Garmin makes some of the best smartwatches to track your health and fitness activities, while also providing the necessary tools to help you reach your goals. The only problem is that most of the brand’s watches are pretty bulky, making them hard to wear in more normal everyday settings.

However, Garmin does have a few watches in its lineup that can seamlessly blend in, and right now, the popular and sleek Vivoactive 5 gets a hefty discount that knocks $100 off, driving the price down to just $200 for a very limited time. We loved this watch when we reviewed it, with our only complaint being that it only comes in one size.

But at 42mm, it’s a size that should fit most wrists with ease, and the good news here is that this watch doesn’t make many sacrifices. You get an absolute beast that can track all your health and fitness metrics, in a slim package that doesn’t cost a lot right now thanks to a sizable discount. So pick this watch up before it’s gone.

A beast in hiding

So what do you get with the Vivoactive 5? Well, it comes with a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED screen that sits in a sleek and compact case. The watch is available in a range of colors, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. Furthermore, you get up to 11 days of battery life, which is more than a week without charging.

That’s something you won’t find on any Wear OS smartwatch and where Garmin often pulls ahead of the pack. The watch can track your health and wellness metrics, along with sleep and stress levels. It provides a great overall look at your current state, and can even make suggestions on how to achieve your desired goals.

Since this is a connected watch, you can get important notifications on your wrist. You can also download songs on the watch, making it easier to enjoy your tunes without having to be tethered to your phone. Garmin Pay also comes in clutch if you’re trying to check out without pulling out your wallet.

The Garmin Connect IQ Store also has plenty of apps and watchfaces that will help you expand the wearable to meet your needs. For the most part, this is a fully capable smartwatch that doesn’t compromise. Of course, if you think you’ll need even more, then Garmin does offer some heavy hitters that will easily be able to meet your needs.
