The Garmin Vivoactive 5 and the Redmi Watch 5 Active have notable differences in the materials used for their bands.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is compatible with 20mm bands, and these bands can be made from a variety of materials. Common options include silicone, nylon, and leather. Silicone bands are particularly popular for their comfort and durability, making them ideal for sports and fitness activities. Additionally, Garmin Vivoactive 5 bands often feature a quick-release system, allowing users to easily swap between different styles or materials depending on their needs[1][4][7].
In contrast, the Redmi Watch 5 Active uses 22mm bands, which are also commonly made from silicone. These bands are known for their softness and comfort, providing a stylish yet practical option for daily wear. The Redmi Watch 5 Active bands are compatible with any standard 22mm strap, offering users a wide range of choices in terms of material and design[2][8].
Overall, while both watches offer silicone as a primary material for their bands, the key differences lie in the band width and the variety of materials available for each model. The Garmin Vivoactive 5 offers a broader range of materials, including nylon and leather, whereas the Redmi Watch 5 Active is more focused on silicone options.
