Design: Looks like a polished regular watch

Some people enjoy the sporty kiến thiết of an Apple Watch or Samsung smartwatch. But if you feel like you’re compromising utility over personal style with those options, the Garmin Vivomove sầu HR offers a happy middle ground.

The watch I tested was fitted with a brown leather band và gold stainless steel case. If you were lớn glance at it, you wouldn’t be able khổng lồ tell that there’s a lot going on underneath the surface. With a simple turn of the wrist the OLED, placed discreetly in the bottom center of the watch face, illuminates for at-a-glance access lớn step count and other data. The watch hands also conveniently move out of the way for better visibility và return to reflect the current time when not in use.

The overall size of the Vivomove HR is 43 x 43 x 11.6 millimeters (HWD) và the display measures 0.38 x 0.76 inches. On larger wrists, this won’t be a big deal, but smaller wrists lượt thích mine could face a fit challenge since the face is on the larger side. But the device as a whole only weighs 56.5 grams, which won’t weigh you down. It also comes with a 5 ATM water-resistance rating, which means you’re good lớn use this for lap swimming and other water sports, & won’t need to lớn worry about rain & snow exposure. I wore this watch in the shower và when washing dishes và found it to lớn be effective sầu against repelling water và always dried quickly. 

In terms of design quirks, in lieu of a typical micro USB charging cord, this watch features a charging clip with a USB connection. The clip opens easily và must be placed directly onlớn the charging contacts on the bachồng of the watch face in order lớn charge/transfer data. This charging method is a bit of a quirk of some Garmin watches, but it eliminates the need for charging ports that could be at risk when exposed to moisture.

Setup: Fast pairing with Garmin Connect

Setting up the Garmin Vivomove HR is easy through the Garmin Connect app. I already had the sản phẩm điện thoại tiện ích downloaded on my iPhone, which made the fast thiết lập process speedier. The app immediately detected the Vivomove HR and then presented on-screen instructions for calibrating the watch hands, setting the wrist placement (right or left), widget preferences, and touring basic functions. This took a matter of minutes since the Garmin Vivomove HR was nearly fully charged out of the box.

Comfort: Comfortable for all-day wear, but the screen can be finicky

I wore the Garmin Vivomove HR during waking and sleeping hours & never experienced discomfort while I slept. If I did experience any issues, it was during the day when conducting routine tasks—especially typing. Invariably the watch would shift and the larger face made liên hệ with my wristbone. 


The wellness data, especially with consistent daily wear, was helpful và motivated me to move sầu more.


During sleeping hours, though, I wasn’t disturbed by any shifting of the timepiece. And since sleep mode is on by mặc định, I wasn’t bothered by notifications or the screen illuminating. When trying to lớn fall asleep or during waking moments, I was occasionally startled by the green light from the heart-rate sensor on the baông xã of the watch face. If you get a tight fit against your wrist, this shouldn’t be an issue. 

In terms of overall ease of use, the only actions you’ll need to master are touching and swiping the screen: there are no buttons or bezels khổng lồ giảm giá with. cảm biến prompts sound lượt thích a no-brainer and an appealing way khổng lồ interact with the watch, but I found the screen to be fussy and slow to respond at times. If I didn’t tap the screen in just the right way, I had lớn repeatedly tap until I could stop or start a workout timer. And if I failed lớn complete a full sweeping motion through the widgets, the screen wouldn’t advance to lớn the next tòa tháp. Instead I ended up just drilling down further into that particular category.

For example, if I didn’t fully swipe past the weather widget information for the day, the screen would take me lớn the weekly forecast. Then I had lớn press the bachồng button to lớn get lớn the general widgets screen. With continued use, I became savvier with touch and swiping actions, but it was still a consistent issue when trying khổng lồ start/stop workout timers. This was an even bigger issue outside and in bright sunlight, which made the screen virtually undetectable. 

Performance: A cheerleader for wellness rather than training

The Vivomove sầu HR is a well-rounded device. Not only does it look fashionable as an everyday accessory, but it also offers stopwatch functions, monitors heart rate (resting and active), automatically tracks activities such as running, walking, & even using an elliptical machine, & tracks steps, calories, và other fitness data such as VO2 max. 

The wellness data, especially with consistent daily wear, was helpful and motivated me lớn move sầu more. The Move sầu Bar, while annoying, ultimately encouraged me lớn avoid prolonged periods of sitting or standing by simply reminding me to move if I hadn’t been very active in the last hour. But when it comes lớn accuracy as a fitness tracker, I wasn’t wildly impressed.

On a few short 1 to 3-mile runs, the Vivomove HR recorded my speed as up lớn 1 minute faster than my Garmin Forerunner 35 running watch. Heart rate was also considerably more elevated according khổng lồ the Vivomove sầu. And when I launched a strength training activity, the counter was always behind by about five reps. The Move sầu IQ technology that auto-detects workouts didn’t always get it right either. Frequently when I was walking, the watch logged that stretch of movement as a running or an elliptical machine session.

Software/Key Features: Options, options, options

Fortunately, saving workout information và viewing any activity from the watch is easy and foolproof through the Garmin Connect tiện ích. If you prefer khổng lồ set this watch up & sync data using your computer, the Garmin Express software allows you to lớn complete the same steps for setting up and configuring the device along with syncing data with your Garmin Connect tài khoản và checking for software updates. 

It’s entirely possible to choose between either setup, despite the quick-start instructions that indicate everything should be done through the Smartphone app. But using the tiện ích alone và syncing regularly helps skết thúc automatic software updates directly lớn the device when not in use. At any point you can log in lớn the Garmin Connect web phầm mềm, regardless of which way you decide to lớn sync data, lớn view your information on a larger display & download it. 

The key features of the software revolve sầu around basic activity tracking from climbing flights of stairs to monitoring all-day ức chế levels (based on heart rate) to breaking down hours of deep versus light sleep. While this is information you can glance at on your watch, the app distills all of this general wellness into lớn daily, weekly, and monthly reports. 

There’s also plenty of customization power when it comes khổng lồ organizing the activity tracking data you see on your watch display và in the app itself. You can choose the widgets displayed such as music controls to control music on your smartphone và the number of intensity workout minutes you’ve sầu reached for the week. And if you prefer lớn shuffle the way that data is arranged in the di động app, there’s a simple drag and drop feature that helps you vì that. 

This complementary software also places the control in your hands when it comes to lớn social media sharing and integrating with outside fitness-tracking platforms such as Map My Run & Strava—which you can easily vì from the Garmin Connect di động and website apps.


In terms of design quirks, in lieu of a typical micro USB charging cord, this watch features a charging clip with a USB connection.


Battery: Solid performance for five days

Garmin says that this watch can last for over two weeks in watch mode và up to five sầu days in smartwatch mode—which I can confirm. This claim tracked even with frequent glancing at the display and toggling through the widgets as well as receiving regular text & email updates throughout the day. I didn’t see the battery drain in any consistent way until the fifth day. And recharging the watch was fast: it took about only one hour.

Price: Expensive, but it has a touchscreen

The Garmin Vivomove sầu HR ranges in price from around $200 for the Thể Thao version that comes with a silicone band to lớn $350 for Premium leather-b& alternatives. There are certainly cheaper hybrid smartwatch options on the market. Both the Withings Move Steel HR và Fossil Smartwatch HR Collider retail for less than $200. And while they offer similar features such as message pReview, heart rate, weather and sleep data, and even GPS, neither offers a touchscreen display & unique health data like găng tay màn chơi readings based on heart rate patterns.

Garmin Vivomove HR vs. Withings Move sầu Steel HR

The Withings Move Steel HR ($180 MSRP) also occupies a similar space. It matches the Vivomove HR by offering optical wrist-based heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking, water-resistance up to lớn 50 meters, và smartphone notifications. The Withings Move Steel HR also has a stylish analog watch look, but if you prefer a flat over curved face and a touchscreen you can interact with, the Vivomove HR takes the prize. Heart-rate tracking inconsistencies plague both watches, but the Withings does come with connected GPS compatibility. 

While this is a boon for distance tracking during workouts, the downside is that you’ll need to lớn have your điện thoại thông minh with you. The Withings Move sầu Steel HR battery longevity is supposed to lớn be 25 days & an additional month without smart mode turned off. But if you prefer the touchscreen interaction rather than the dual displays—one dial that monitors step count progress by percentage và one LCD that displays notifications—the Vivomove sầu could be worth the extra money.


A chất lượng hybrid watch that’s best for general wellness tracking và basic smart features.



The Garmin Vivomove HR isn’t the watch to lớn reach for when you want to accurately log running or cycling workouts, but if you want a larger bird’s-eye view of your wellness, this is worth considering. It’s stylish enough for work and everyday wear & possesses thoughtful kiến thiết details và health tracking features other hybrid smartwatch competitors don’t.
