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

This thing is awesome. Very simple with a classic look. It’s also comfortable.

Sleek af, but as others state it is not the best time keeper. I prefer my forerunner 255 in almost every way. Purchase if you want a sleek watch that can do HR and record sleep. I primarily use this after the gym or bike ride. The blackout screen looks 5/5 but in the dark the watch face is useless. Battery life is better than any apple I’ve owned, but again not Garmin’s longest lasting. The interface sometimes feels clunky and unresponsive (should have added buttons on the side imo) 4/5 stars.

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!

Watch is nice but black on black with no back light is hard to see. The connect app is not user friendly. I missed the return date so I am stuck with it. Very disappointed

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.

Heart function is very inaccurate during vigorous activities.Riding stationary bike, the heart rate monitor (HRM) records 120 up to 160 bpm. My Garmin HRM Dual (chest strap),says 78. What’s going on?These watch HRMs aren’t accurate unless they’re held still. Arm movements throw them off. Google it and you’ll find confirmation that the skin movement under the watch causes errors especially during exercise. Therefore, all that relies on HRM, calories burned, is false.Still, watch is nice. Just don’t rely on it for accurate exercise data.

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.

Started having heart issues after COVID and needed something to monitor my heart rate in real time. I tried the traditional full smart watches and just got frustrated with the constant need for charging. Then I tried the hybrid smart watches, most of which fixed the battery life really left me wanting in the features department. This watch is the perfect mix of both. I get about 4 to 5 days out of a charge and it's really helped me stay on top of my fitness. The heart of issues have eventually worked themselves out, but I continue to wear this watch to track my fitness and it's really helped push me too a new level. I like the adaptive steps goals, and find the active zone minute goal really helps push me to work out when I'm not feeling it. I'm down about 45 lb and in the best shape I've been in in 10 years and I really think this watch is a big part of that. I actually just ordered another one in a different color so that I could match different outfits.
