Can I use this fitness tracker to record my activities without having my smartphone with me? I would like to track my running route and listen to music without having to take my mobile with me. Thank you very much for your information.

The Garmin Vivosmart 5 can track some activities without the smartphone, but there are some limitations that are relevant to your needs:
- GPS tracking: the Vivosmart 5 does not have a built-in GPS function. To track your running route, you need to connect the device to your smartphone and use the smartphone's GPS function.
- Music playback: The Vivosmart 5 supports music playback, but you must first load the music onto the device. However, there is no storage for large music libraries and the control of music playback without a smartphone is limited.
To summarise: For tracking your running route and listening to music without the smartphone, you are not fully covered with the Vivosmart 5 as the device relies on the smartphone for the GPS function.
