Garmin
vívosmart® 5 (010-02645-00)
The Garmin vívosmart® 5 wears larger than the Garmin vívosmart® 4 (19.5mm vs 15mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Garmin vívosmart® 4 is the slimmer of the two (197mm vs 217mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin vívosmart® 4 feels lighter (16.5g vs 24.5g, case only).
