Why can't smartwatches look normal For years, the idea of a "regular-looking watch" with smartwatch extras has been an idea explored in a range of screenless analog watches with embedded step counters.

Full fitness features on a regular-looking analog watch; The Vivomove HR includes heart rate, step count and sleep tracking, and smart functions like notifications; It works on Android and iOS and has 50-meter water resistance and a weeklong-plus battery life

The tiny touch display is hard to navigate; There are no physical buttons; It lasts longer in watch-only mode but won't track fitness, and the glass body can collect scuffs

It's worth buying only if you want a basic activity tracker and a regular watch in the same package. Even so, it's overpriced. A $20 wristwatch and a Jawbone UP3 or FitBit Flex gives you about the same thing for almost $100 less.

Dissapointing quality and warranty. Watch got moisture from inside after 6 month of very careful usage, no scratches at all. Warranty did not cover it as im not inside the US any more. I do not reccomend it at all, too expensive for a watch of this quality

Sleek and intuitive. It is good for someone who wants all the excellent Garmin metrics but doesn't want to spend their entire workout/day staring at their wrist. You can see graphs and watch your hear rate from your wrist if you want, or you can just set HR zone alerts to silently notify you so you...

Love it! The stress monitoring feature is very helpful. Stair tracking is hit or miss, but that isn't a big deal. Looks very nice, best combination of a traditional watch and tracker that I have found.

Slightly underwhelming battery life isn't reason enough to not buy the Garmin Vivomove HR, however. If you're looking for a hybrid smartwatch that logs your steps, sleep, heart rate and stress in a package that both looks great and is fairly priced, it's an obvious choice.

Lightweight and comfortable; Lots of fitness features; Looks great

Logging activities can be fiddly; Smeary screen; Mediocre battery life

The Vivomove has one big rival in the stylish fitness watch stakes: Withings' Activité Pop . The Withings has a few extra features, such as a silent vibration alarm, automatic sport detection for running and cycling, and automatic time sync with your phone over Bluetooth.

Subtle and stylish looks; No information overload; Brilliant battery

Too simple for serious sports-fiends; Missing a few features

Great watch but the analogue hands fail. This is the second of these I've bought having returned the first after 18 months. This time the hands are out of sync after a month of having it. Love the hidden digital display and the fit and style of the watch.

I love the stylish look. It's perfect for wearing with business attire. It does the basic minimum expected. What I liked mostly is, if your phone is set to silent, you will still receive a vibration of your (chosen) notifications on your watch.

It's a product I love. The touch screen works, but I find a little too fiddly for me to successfully use. Does what it says on the tin - apart from the watch strap, the pins do come undone from the body of the watch without too much persuasion so I'll need to contact Garmin it seems.
