Garminvívomove Trend, Stylish Hybrid Smartwatch, Long-Lasting Battery Life, Dynamic Watch Hands and Touchscreen Display, Black

I’ve been using the Garmin vívomove Trend for about a year now, and I can confidently say it’s the perfect hybrid smartwatch for anyone who appreciates both style and practicality. Coming from a fully smart Fossil watch, I was looking for something with an analog look that still offers smart features, and this watch delivers!The battery life is impressive—I typically charge it every four days, and it lasts up to five days in smart mode, which is fantastic. The touchscreen is cleverly designed; it only lights up when needed, keeping the classic aesthetic intact. As someone with ADHD, the “Find My Phone” feature has been a lifesaver. I can’t imagine my life without it!On the downside, I initially wore it a bit too tightly and experienced some discomfort, but adjusting the fit made all the difference.Overall, the Garmin vívomove Trend combines health tracking, notifications, and a sleek design, making it a great choice for anyone looking to enhance their daily routine. Highly recommend!

I'm looking for a replacement fitness tracker, I was really interested in Garmin, mostly for their long battery life and fitness accuracy.I choose the Vivomove Trend for it's style and hybrid (analog and digital) approach to fitness tracking.I like not having to "wake" the device everytime I want to check the time. I also enjoy it's minimalism with notifications, I feel like it helps reduce my digital distractions.Battery life and functionality is similar to the Fitbit charge I previously used, but the design is more professional in my opinion.My biggest complaint after almost 2 months with the device, is how easily the glass scratches. I have a few minor, not very noticeable scratches from simple things like loading clothes in the dryer or reaching into my backpack.Sure, I could buy a screen protector, but the majority of the options on Amazon add bulk and take away from the elegant design. I wish Garmin could have used a more scratch resistant martial on this device, especially considering the price and the limited features.One other thing that would have been nice to include is to make the hands how to make the time visible at night without having to wake the device.

I like it. After years of experience of smart watches it is good to see the product can be light, fashionable and a watch looking watch. I hope it will satisfy all my needs.thanks for the fast delivery. It was scheduled to deliver on 15th but I could receive on 10th.

I'm interested in the hybrid smartwarch format, where a relatively normal watch is equipped with sensors for heartrate, pedometer (accelerometers), and O2 saturation, without being either a) something rectangular that looks like a miniature smartphone strapped to my wrist, or b) a giant thick chunky and knobby monstrosity like the flagship Garmin smartwatches. The vivomove line seemed to fit my requirements, with a set of traditional analog hands that put its identity as a watch foremost, and a screen that's "hidden" as part of the watch face, and which lights up only on demand. Despite some mixed professional reviews I decided to give it a try.What it does well is to keep the case format in the range of what you'd expect from a traditional watch. Round, not too thick, not too large-looking on the wrist, and overall unobtrusive and something one can wear to any occasion. The sensors are pretty good, but they get inaccurate (erratic) if the watch is worn loosely. As with any sensor-equipped watch, the sensors have to be in contact with the skin, so the watch has to be worn a little more tighly than some might prefer. The battery life is so-so. A traditional watch may last for years, or indefinitely (if it has kinetic or solar charging built-in), but on the other hand a full-on smartwatch might only have a single day of endurance. The vivomove's give up to 5 days, and the Trend has wireless charging, so it's not the worst compared to alternatives like an Apple Watch. The screen is clear, and I like how the mechanical hands move out of the way when interacting with the information, and in some cases the hands even form part of the information (like aligning to a graphed level/meter). Cute. The app is so-so (Garmin Connect is the same app one would use for any Garmin active connected product). It's not the best, but unlike some, no paid subscription is required to "unlock" any of the tracking/lifestyle features. The watch is unobtrusive, tracks sleep well if worn at night, can do everything I need in terms of tracking my workouts and bike rides, and overall checks many of the boxes that I got it for.However, where it falls completely flat is as a watch. Most color options for the vivomove Trend (with one exception) have mechanical hands that are the same color as the watch face. There's no contrast. A little bit of gray paint/highlight is applied to the outer portions of the hands, but it makes no real difference. In bright daylight or bright indoor lighting, the hands aren't glanceable, but at least they're visible. In normal indoor lighting, it's a struggle to see them at all, and the (for some reason) radially applied GARMIN logo at the 9 o'clock position competes with the hands and confuses the attempt to read the time. In twilight or darker indoor settings (e.g. watching TV), the hands are utterly invisible. Neither the hands nor any of the tick marks on the face have any luminosity in the dark. I find that for the most part, the only way to tell the time is to wake up the screen, and ensure that the selected digital watch face includes the "current time" as one of its "complications." Raising the wrist is supposed to wake the screen, but that doesn't always work, and tapping the screen also doesn't always work, so after several times where I've hard-tapped the crystal 5 times in a row to get the screen to come on, just so I could tell what time it is, I'm done with this experiment.So, overall, I've decided I don't like the vivomove watches and am already awaiting a replacement that does a better job at being a watch (Withings Scanwatch 2). I suggest, if you're in the market to try it, that you look very closely at the color options and try to find one where the hands aren't the same color as the face. The Trend has one option with a silver face and gold hands, so maybe go with that if you like those colors. I went for the black case with black face (and black hands), and wow, what a mistake. Haven't looked closely at the color options for other vivomove lines (Luxe, etc.), maybe one of those has better contrast. I noticed that at least one of the other lines (the Sport, I think) puts the GARMIN logo at the top, vs. radially, which would also be an enormous improvement.

I jumped from the Fitbit ecosystem to Garmin and wanted a watch that didn't look like a smartwatch or fitness watch. I should have done more research - this watch is one of the worst technology products I have ever owned.The touch screen is barely responsive - you will spend countless moments tapping, tapping, and tapping again to get this freaking thing to respond to your touch. Swipe gestures are no better. The menu layout is abysmal.The fitness tracking features are comically limited compared to the rest of the Garmin ecosystem. You will often find yourself wishing you had just gone with one of their traditional running or multi-sport watches.The overall experience has been so bad I am honestly just thinking of going back to my old and crusty Fitbit rather than re-investing in a better Garmin watch. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
