Perfect hybrid
Rating: 5
Perfect hybrid for those who want the look of a real watch because it is a real watch. To me wearing a big digital face just isn't my style, but I wanted the funtions of a smart watch. This one is great. It looks like a regular watch for everyday wear, but tracks steps, heartbeat, stress, and sleep. It even sends me a reminder to move when I've been sitting at the desk for too long. The battery is long lasting. Currently I'm on day 7 and have about 1/4 battery remaining. The garmin connect app is also super easy to use and gives a ton of information. I'm using the watch with a Samsung S8+ and had no problems connecting. If you're on the fence, give it a try. It's well worth the time to check out.

Great watch. Tracks your sleep which I love. Very accurate heart rate tracking. For the price I love it.

Chill, mindful, & respectful
Rating: 5
This snazzy little device keeps track of heart rate, stress, sleep, steps, exercise, and can lead you through mindful moments of breathing. It is capable of alerting for notifications, yet, is calm when it does so. Alarms can be set, and will persistently and calmly work as reminders. It looks like a normal watch and even ticks as the hands move (only noticed after over a week, when I held it to my ear). I love that it doesn’t actually make noise, doesn’t have a microphone, and can only vibrate to prompt you to look at it. No worries for accidental settings in meetings. I also just love it’s simplicity! The round watch face feels more natural for me. I love the size and feel of it on my wrist. I used to get my fitbit caught on everything, and I’ve been brutal to normal watches. This one though is great. I love that it connects to apple health app on phone as well!

Great looking watch with HR function
Rating: 5
I ordered this watch primarily to function as a HR monitor, as well as doing all the other functions that my Vivosmart does. I love the style of this watch...more traditional than the square face on my other Garmin watch. It was easy to set up, although I did have to contact Garmin to help with connecting it to my app. They were very helpful and easy to reach. I will still use my Vivosmart for golf because it has the GPS function which the Vivomove does not have.

Great Smartwatch
Rating: 5
I really like my Vivomove HR Smartwatch. I have had it about 2 months now. It records my HR, sleep activities, steps, etc. and I can review all of it on the Connect app on my smartphone. The only downside to the watch is the vibration reminders that I am to far away from my smartphone to connect. There is a short range, however, it continues to record all the data and then syncs it back to the app on my phone when I'm back in range. I can also tell who is texting and calling me from my Smartwatch which is a great feature.

Rose gold very pretty
Rating: 4
I like the watch, love the rose gold . What I don’t like is that the tracking is sometimes difficult to see. Other than that, has worked out well.

great watch easily discolored with sweat
Rating: 2
Watch was originally amazing. 2 weeks into wearing my watch, it discolored tremendously and now looks like it has been burned with a yellowing color. I bought the white and rose gold watch

Just what I was looking for
Rating: 5
Needed a new tracker and this has everything I need! Screen is easy to read- even with sunglasses on! Buttons are simple and the screen is very responsive. GPS is great to use on bike rides and runs with quick and easy links to strava. Still need to play around with the music feature and some others but so far the watch has performed great! Lightweight and fits nicely on my wrist.

Satisfied customer!
Rating: 5
After getting into running outside due to covid, I decided I wanted to get a fitness watch so I didn't have to carry my phone anymore. I really love the Vivo 4s and have not had trouble downloading my music with Spotify (though you do need a premium account). Would recommend!
by Garminvivo4s on 2020-08-12T17:00:00

Super Powerful!
Rating: 4
I am loving my vivoactive 4s so far! I am impressed with being able to have an accurate GPS reading and listen to music from my watch without needing my phone with me on a run. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is I don't find it as intuitive to use right out of the box as other smart watches I have used before, so it has taken me a little bit longer to figure out all the features and how to best use the applications on the watch. I think after another couple of days I'll have it all figured out! Excited to use this watch to train for my first full marathon.

Perfect for almost any workout!
Rating: 4
I use this for running/walking (outdoor and treadmill), yoga, pilates, biking, and cardio. There are so many workouts which can be tracked as well as sleep, heart rate, and steps. I got pregnant after I already had this watch and I love it even more now since I can keep track of my heart rate and sleeping habits. I only wish the battery would live longer.

So far, so good
Rating: 4
After much deliberation, I switched from a Fitbit to my Vivoactive 4S. And I am super impressed with Capture of my walking and running. Definitely is not as accurate with sleep. I wish (hint hint) I could store music through Rock my Run. But every other feature is remarkably excellent.

Having a hard time
Rating: 3
Can’t figure out how to use the activity items. Once I start a pool swim, for instance, I can’t figure out how to stop and save the activity. The check mark and x do not seem to respond when I press them. I have gone to the detailed instructions but they are not helpful, considering contacting Garmin by phone for some assistance
by Joyce C on 2020-09-01T17:00:00

Great except for a few things
Rating: 3
The sleep tracking doesn’t work right. I’ll sleep for 7 or eight hours and it says I slept for 10+. Also my calories I burn are different than Fitbit, not sure if it’s more accurate or less but it’s different. One more thing, I thought there would be a way to show people where I am so they can make sure I’m ok if I’m hiking and I haven’t found that either 🙁 I sort of feel like I should have just gotten a Fitbit
by Sara7111989 on 2020-08-29T17:00:00

Like the style but controls are clunky
Rating: 3
I just got this watch in the last week. I love the size and round face. The controls and shifting through programs is clunky... meaning take multiple steps. It's also difficult to do a running program and change your music playlist. I don't like that you have to pay for watch faces. The ones that they provide for free offers a lot to be desired. Fitbit had more options. Similar functionality to Fitbit alternatives... not sure yet that I like this watch more yet.
