A good fitness tracker that looks like a nice watch not a horrible style-less block

No GPS Tracking

published

I bought this watch without realising it had no GPS tracking included. The distances it measures are way out of whack and it over measures the distance you have actually done since it has no GPS to talk to. Garmin need to include this watch in one of their GPS tracking apps as this model is currently unsupported on their tracking apps. Seriously disappointed for the price of the watch.

Nice looking watch.

published

Nice looking watch but digital screen very small and hard to read. If battery goes flat then the Time can only be set through WiFi not just on mobile phone.

Waste of money!

published

Initially I absolutely loved my watch, love the look and it did exactly as advertised. However a year later, it now doesn't sync properly to other apps, it constantly vibrates step alerts on my wrist that are not the number of steps I have walked and will just keep vibrating. I'm extremely disappointed as I thought it should last longer than a year. To make matters worse I have tried all the trouble shooting and sent an email to garmin for support to see if there is an easy fix but am yet to hear anything! Will never buy this brand again

Stylish smart watch

published

I love that the vívomove HR looks like a regular watch and with just a simple tap on the screen brings up digital display! My only issue with the vivomove HR is it’s battery life! I have had it for over 12 months now and am finding the battery will only last 4-5 days where it originally held its battery life for 7 days plus.

Dont bother

published

Bought this watch because it looked like a watch with some smart features. Unfortunately the watch side of it fails miserably. The hands are often showing the wrong time, 4-5 times per week. You have to re-calibrate the hands to show the correct time. It's ridiculous. None of the suggestions from Garmin customer service have worked. If you google Garmin Vivomove HR calibration you will see this is a common issue that Garmin have not addressed with software upgrades. I bought the premium model so I've wasted over $400

Looks can be deceiving

published

This is the first smart watch I have owned. It took me a long time to decide on what I actually wanted. I chose this watch because I love how at first glance it looks like an ordinary watch and nothing too chunky. It does everything it says it does. The only thing I would change would be to speak through the phone instead of just answering the call on the watch and then reverting back to your phone. The silicone band sometimes also irritates my skin so I have also purchased a suede band to alternate on days when my skin flares up.

Purchased in June 2021.

After my last smart watch died I decided to go with a Garmin Vivimove HR and it has to be the best watch I’ve owned! It also looks great which is great!

Good looking basic fitness watch

published

This is good looking and sleek watch that looks great, I wear it often even with a nice dress. The heart rate seems to be fairly accurate but you have to make sure it is tight and in a correct spot.
I like the fact that I can pair it with my fitnesspal app. Easy to use, looks great but it cannot be paired with a chest strap which is a big but only minus from me.

No HR monitor is perfect

published

I am probably being unfair to this HR monitor as I have an unusual heart condition and a pacemaker. I have been advised my an expert that, for my condition and the presence of 'silent' heart beats, even a hospital HRM will not be totally accurate. Fitness chest strap HRMs are useless for me

The Garmin Vivomove HR does work. While the estimation of the HR is not accurate, it is consistent. If I am about to blow the top off my heart (tachycardia) it gives me warning and I slow down.

I love it! I use it everyday! ?

published

I absolutely love it! I will definitely be recommending it to my fellow fitness lovers. The tracking "Garmin Connect" app & the associated "My Fitness Pal" app links up with "Garmin Connect" to enhance your tracking for food intake & calories burnt etc. I dont read the newspaper in the morning anymore, instead I review my sleep patterns & plan the days fitness & diet.

You should be able to easily fix this by going into the settings and recalibrating the hour and minute hands.
