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. You might have to set the time manually on the Garmin, but it has the inactivity bar, a longer battery life, and we think it's got the edge in terms of looks. The Activite is just a bit too plain for us, but the Vivomove manages to stand out without becoming too fitness-focused. If you want to get some serious exercise, Garmin also has the wider range of gear (and a more in-depth app), so we think it has the edge. Whether it's right for you at all depends on whether you spend more time at the gym than at home, or if you're just after a small nudge to get a bit more active. Serious athlete? This is your daytime watch, one you swap out for a serious tracker when it's time to hit the track. Commuter with style - and a sturdy pair of walking boots? Free up a space on your wrist: this is everything you need from a fitness watch. Buy the Vivomove from Garmin

I have had it for two weeks now. it's an awesome smart watch! but I somehow scratched the watch surface with something I don't know. so I guess the watch surface is not that hardy. with this price I got nothing to complaint with.

At a price point that Garmin has struggled to own, the Vivomove Sport is a really great new option for those who don't want a full smarwatch but who would like to get some more in-depth tracking.

Garmin’s new-for-2022 Vivomove Sport is a hybrid smartwatch in the truest sense, as it has physical hands that move around the dial, and a screen that stays totally hidden until it’s needed. It’s the antithesis of the Fitbit Versa 3, which is its biggest rival and will appeal to anyone who finds the Fitbit’s boring design off-putting. The good news is, the design isn’t the only thing to like about the Vivomove Sport, as I’ve found out. The Garmin Vivomove Sport is very good at disguising its hybrid smartwatch status, due to the small OLED screen being completely hidden until it’s needed. When I say completely, I mean it. I dare you to look a the photos with the screen off and tell me there’s one there at all. I really like this approach, especially as more hybrid smartwatches now integrate always-on E-Ink screens, where the design edges away from “watch” and far closer to “smartwatch.” Not so here, and it looks great for it. The dial is simple, with Garmin’s branding stamped on it, six...
