Why you should buy the Garmin Vivoactive 5

In our Garmin Vivoactive 5 review, we called it a “winner,” citing its “excellent health tracking” and “long battery life,” as well as its “gorgeous AMOLED display.” The Garmin Vivoactive 5 may not be in our look at the best Garmins but it’s still a fantastic option.

More a competitor to the best smartwatches than just fitness devices, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is one of Garmin’s everyday watches, so it looks more stylish than its Instinct or Forerunner ranges. Its plastic has a soft-touch coating that feels solid and durable, and its bezel is made from anodized aluminum so it can brush off scratches and scruffs. It’s very comfortable to wear throughout the day, with the battery life coming in at about 11 days. That’s great for a smartwatch, especially one with an AMOLED display.

It has accurate health tracking tools including heart rate, respiration, and Garmin’s popular body battery tool. Its fitness tracking is great too, monitoring all the essentials when you’re running, walking, or swimming. Its stats are comprehensive and the perfect insight into exactly how you’re performing. If you’re keen to work out more effectively but also wear a watch that looks good when out for the evening, this is what you need in your life. I had a lot of fun using the Garmin Vivoactive 5, and I have yet to find a watch that looks as good as it does.

Normally $300, you can buy the Garmin Vivoactive 5 directly from Garmin for $200. The $100 discount makes now an easy time to recommend buying the Garmin Vivoactive 5. The sale price is unlikely to be around for much longer, so check it out now before you miss out.

Your AirPods can now double as a retro gaming gun, and you can try it for free
Aim by turning an earbud, shoot with a tap.
Adult, Male, Man

Few things feel as satisfying as blasting pixelated ducks. However, I never imagined doing it with an earbud. Then again, gaming accessories have taken stranger forms.

A developer who posts as Dividivan on X turned one AirPod into a miniature, gun-like controller you can point and tap, but it only works with a Mac. The side project became BipBop, a free website that lets you use your AirPods as a controller for 30 throwback minigames.

Low daily step count linked to dementia and stroke risks. It’s time to put your trusty phone in charge
If you walk fewer than 5,000 steps daily, the risks of dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke significantly go up.
Launch screen of the Google Fit app.

In an age of conveniences, getting a daily workout has become increasingly difficult, which is reflected in the rising tide of obesity and related illnesses. Even something as simple as a few thousand steps daily is becoming difficult in a life that binds us to a desk, while cars and Ubers take away the remaining chances of walking a few thousand steps daily. Well, it's time to reconsider those habits.

The big shift
