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

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.

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

Garmin has bombarded us with fitness trackers and running watches this year, but the Garmin Vivomove HR might be the most exciting of the lot. The first Vivomove was essentially a fitness tracker in traditional watch form, but the Vivomove HR is a full hybrid of style and smarts, layering features...

Classic timepiece design; That hidden screen; Heart rate tracking

No GPS; Screen too small for notifications; Hard to read in bright sunlight

Basically it does what a fitbit HR does but looks like a watch. It works as advertised. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

It's perilously short on features, but the Vivomove might just be the classiest gadget Garmin has ever made.

Smart design; Comfortable; Excellent battery life; Clever on-watch tracker displays

Very limited features; Garmin Connect software is neither pretty nor slick

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...

Garmin is a name synonymous with athletic GPS and wearable activity trackers. A position in the market well earned by their ability to adapt to the times and give users the functions they're seeking.

Watch by itself looks great.It is been done solid and beautiful. But, you are not going to be able to adjust time without connection to your cell phone with internet and location connection and share all your information with Garmin.

Love my Garmin. Easy to use, easy to link to my phone. So many compliments
