Garmin vivomove Style Hybrid Smartwatch with Real Watch Hands and Hidden Colour Touchscreen Display, Black Pepper Nylon with Slate Hardware

Product Information

In terms of battery life, Garmin says the Vivomove Style lasts up to five days in smartwatch mode and up to an additional week in watch mode. In testing, it went down 50 percent in 48 hours. The Vivoactive 4, meanwhile, lasts up to eight days in smartwatch mode, six hours in GPS mode, or 18 hours in GPS mode without music. Setup and Navigation Battery life: up to five days in smart mode and an additional week in watch mode (hands tell time only) The hands of the watch dynamically move out of the way to reveal hidden display and even move in sync with the graphics. Watch them move in coordination with the graphics as you get closer to your daily step goal — or raise and lower with your heart rate during activities. Pay on the Go

Move bar (displays on device after a period of inactivity; walk for a couple of minutes to reset it) Living with the Garmin Vivomove is just like living with a normal watch. There's zero faff involved, meaning it's worlds apart from the Apple Watch or any Android Wear watch. The build quality of the Garmin Vivomove Premium is fantastic. The main part of the watch is steel topped with glass, and the strap is leather. Garmin watches like the Fenix 3 feel tough despite being made largely of plastic, but the Vivomove is in a whole different category.

Its smarts are primary school level, and there's very little that could be added with further software updates. The vívomove Style smartwatch combines the traditional look of an analog watch with the essential smart features you count on to keep up with your busy life. Its sleek, aluminum case and domed Corning Gorilla glass make for a chic but durable design. Suit every look with a variety of attractive colors and bands available in silicone or woven nylon.

I can imagine plenty of people who have no experience of Garmin's running watches wanting a Vivomove; it's perfect for those who are only after very light data. But as the Garmin Connect app is also designed to take in far more sophisticated info, from Forerunners and other sports devices, it doesn't feel all that well tailored to this particular watch. The watch is waterproof to 50m or 5ATM, so you can take it swimming or diving if you like; however, you'd probably want to get the silicone strap Sport model, rather than the more expensive leather strap version I'm testing. Stylish, traditional analog watch design with real watch hands, including a touchscreen display only visible when you need it A key part of the Vivomove's appeal is how little of that appeal relies on the tech inside. It's a lovely watch, and the way it relays its fitness data on the face is entirely subordinate to this classic 'watchy-ness'. We likedThe Premium version is the weightiest of the three Vivomove flavours at 67g, but it's really no bulkier or heavier than a standard watch of this style. And – no prizes for guessing this one – wearing it feels just like wearing a normal watch too. There are a couple of features we'd like to see in a future version of the Vivomove too, even if it wasn't one designed to replace this watch. An alarm, and some way to light up the watch face at night, would be handy. Verdict
