Garmin vívomove Sport, Hybrid 40mm smartwatch with health & fitness functions, hidden touchscreen display & up to 5 days battery life, Black

This is a traditional looking analogue watch that illuminates with your data in the bottom half of the screen when you raise your wrist or call it up. You can change what is displayed in this home screen. You can also scroll through the rest of your data by swiping. Brilliant. Just what I wanted. I can’t abide just having a black blob on my wrist. This is far batter and looks so much more stylish when wearing it throughout the day. The battery lasts a few days. The Garmin app is great and the watch offers the full range of health and fitness statistics including swimming BUT NOT stair climbs. There is no GPS built in but it will pair with a Bluetooth phone to track your workout. It will also provide maps of routes you’ve done via the App. You can receive email messages and notifications on the screen these call up when they arrive. There is no Garmin pay on this watch but if you pay more you could buy the Style version which does have this, the stair climb function, a better screen and in my opinion is even more stylish.

This is my first sports watch so I have nothing to compare to, but I’ve found it to be pretty good! It has an attractive face, straps have been easy enough to swap out to match different outfits. Battery life is good, I wear it constantly and charge it every 5 days or so. Syncs easily with the Garmin app wherever I am. My only reservation is I think the metrics can be a bit off- sometimes it’s recorded I’ve done 500 steps whilst lying in bed! Or that I’m in REM deep when I’m scrolling through Reddit on a morning. But otherwise it’s been good, would recommend.

Item as described but was 24 hours late, which cost me a day of waiting.

For the price I thought this was a bargain. I’ve always used Amazfit/Zepp until now, but thought this time I’d upgrade to a more respected brand. Overall the user experience is much worse than I experienced with Amazfit watches. The main reason this scores so low for me, is the pressure sensitive screen that cannot be locked. Some mornings I’d wake up with no battery remaining. This baffled me at first, until I realised what was happening. In my sleep, the watch was starting activity tracking, which would deplete the battery and prevent any sleep data being collected. Just putting pressure on the watch face will activate the screen, and it only takes a couple of presses to start an activity. Having a way to lock the screen would be the only way to recover from this design flaw. Unfortunately Garmin missed this also.

Brilliant watch. Easy to use, plenty of helpful features, comfortable to wear, and fantastic quality! I purchased this watch after losing a previous, more basic Garmin watch, which I loved. I haven't been disappointed over two years later and am now considering buying another Garmin watch as a spare/different look.

as is the way all the data is displayed. Just make sure you are happy with the size of the display on the watch. For me it's a bit small and with the benefit of hindsight I would have liked it bigger. I bought it because I liked the analogue display, the hands, but the glass is quite reflective and sometimes I find it difficult to see the hands properly

Really happy that you cant tell that it's a smartwatch, but it has all the key functionality for me. Only think i'd love, would be in built GPS, instead of pulling it from the phone. But in practice, it doesnt make a huge difference

I had a really good recently bought smart watch before this and it would annoy me when the lift to wake function wouldn’t work. To the extent that it put me off having it. I wanted good activity tracking for my workouts but a normal nice watch face. When I saw this one I sold my LED screen smart watch and bought this. In a lot of areas it is much better, for my previous smart watch I needed (after a 6 month trial) to pay for a monthly subscription to keep having sleep tracking and body battery (or their brand’s equivalent). With this watch all those things come free with the watch. The Garmin connect app is great, has lots of info and I have been happy with it so far. I love the watch, I love the subtlety that comes with having smart watch style activity trackers and yet a nice looking normal front. I have worn it to the gym a few times and generally been happy with the tracking. Even in the swimming pool. Overall I have Been impressed. Yet there have been a couple of things that need improvement. The watch’s connection with the phone is not perfect. It seems bitty at times. When attempting to align the watch hands through the app it always breaks connection before finishing. They need to improve that on a coming firmware update. Also mentioning watch aligning I have noticed I have to align the hands more often than I would have liked. I get it, they are moving up and down a lot for notifications but sometimes they are way off (the wrong side of the clock). I guess it might be an issues with having physical hands on a smart watch but I think they should design it so you don’t have to move the hands at all. Eg make them see-through when over the digital part of the screen or give people in app control of whether or not you can turn off the hands moving for each and every notification etc. This comes to my last gripe. I had a different brand fitness tracker before and they enabled me to go through every app that sends notifications to my watch and select yes or no. That was great. Garmin don’t offer that yet (please offer it soon it’s enough to make me want to get rid!). They do offer the ability to filter smart notifications to calls and texts only (which I have selected!) But I still seem to get every notification under the sun through. I don’t want to know about calendar notifications on my watch or some random third part apps most recent promotion. Please enable me to filter through each app and select yes or no. (Makes me tempted to go back to that recent brand and pay that premium monthly fee, almost, on second thoughts no! But please do something about it Garmin). Other than that Garmin have the ingredients to be onto a winner and overall I definitely prefer it to my previous fitness tracker (even though that used to offer ECG scanning). Because this one looks and feels more like a watch and has good activity tracking to boot!

Arrivato prima del previsto (e sarebbe arrivato ancora prima se non fosse stato per un problema del corriere). Orologio perfetto e proprio come lo volevo: uno smartwatch sportivo che non rinuncia ad uno stile classico e comunque elegante. Molto minimal nel design ma altamente funzionale nelle prestazioni tecnologiche. Certo a bordo orologio non si può fare tutto quel che si fa in un garmin NON ibrido, ma dall'app ovviamente si e per me è più che sufficiente. Io non sopporto molto il cinturino in gomma ma è un mio limite (a prescindere dalla marca di orologio) che risolverò acquistando un cinturino in acciaio e che sostituirò molto facilmente

Muy buen reloj

Good watch for a very cheap price if you compare with others. The screen could be a bit bigger

Jättebra och snygg klocka!

Je l'ai eu à 100€ donc l'avis en tient compte. Je l'utilise sur un Garmin Edge pour le suivi cardio. ça marche. Avec le téléphone, les notifs permettent de beaucoup moins sortir le smartphone de la poche (pas ce que je cherchais mais finalement plus qu'agréable à l'usage). J'aime le design sobre et les aiguilles. L'autonomie est bonne et tient bien 5 jours... en tout cas suffisamment pour ne jamais vraiment s'en préoccuper. L'écosystème Garmin est excellent à l'usage et tout s'intègre sans encombre. Un peu pénible mais finalement pas tant que ça ; les aiguilles ont tendance à se désaligner... 20 secondes dans Garmin Connect pour les réaligner. ça arrive une fois toutes les 2 ou 3 semaines environ. Parfois des latences dans la manipulation, rien de très agaçant. Le pire inconvénient, c'est l'écran illisible en plein soleil et non ajustable (surement lié à l'autonomie de la batterie). Bref la montre propose des fonctions basiques, si vous cherchez pas spécialement de la stat à outrance, des fonctions trop avancées et n'aimez pas ressembler à un sapin de Noël, c'est parfait.
