Got it about 1 week ago and I just love it. The only thing is I'm not sure if its water proof.

Pretty disappointed
on November 15, 2022
Posted by: Liz29
I had the choice between Garmin and Fitbit, and in all honesty, I wish I chose Fitbit.
The first time I wore the watch out in public, only 1 week after I got it, the screen got scratched. I was not impressed as all I was doing was sitting at a table. I'm supposed to wear this watch all the time, and it's not fit for purpose in my eyes if it scratches so easily (the scratch is above the digital display so is hard to see now). When I looked this up, it's not covered by Garmin, so now I'm stuck with a scratched watch face.
The next disappointment is that is doesn't seem to measure my distances or steps properly - I always walk with my husband, and at the end of our morning walk he has always completed much more than me, even though we are the same height and walk at the same pace.
These are just a couple of the things that happened as an example - recommend you do your research before buying.

for yoga lovers
on November 6, 2022

I was looking for a watch that didn't have many features, vivomove sport meets what I wanted, it records my activity and helps me know specifically what I want. especially for those of us who like the practice of yoga, it is ideal and easy to use. In addition, the design is beautiful, I think the best thing is how it mixes the use of a classic watch with a smart watch. I love it and I wish there were more versions of designs and styles.

Disappointing
on October 19, 2022
Posted by: Hikerpatty
I have a small Garmin vivosport and wanted to upgrade to more features and longer battery. I got the brown vivomove sport with the clock face and it is very attractive. But there are a few things about the mechanics that I do not like. Perhaps it is my inability to make it work right. First, if I register my sleep time so the watch is “inactive” during that time it really shuts everything down. I can’t even see the time in the middle of the night or dark because it won’t light up or turn on.so I had to un-register that part and now I can see the time in the dark but I also get watch activity(buzzes) all night. The little vivosport did not have that problem. Also I am not happy with the handling of the widgets….so many and not always what I want. When set to activity, like walking, it shows the time but not the distance as you go. Setting to watch GPS or phone GPS? Very confusing because it doesn’t work in all situations and I’m not sure the advantage of each way. Hiking in sparce GPS area (mountains) my vivosport did just fine, except I’d run out of battery before the hike was over. I like Garmin and expected more from this watch. I will be returning it if they’ll take it back. It’s taken me awhile to try it out in different situations to see if my problems were human error.

Best Fitness Tracker I have owned
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: DebJ
I bought this about 3 weeks ago after so much frustration with FitBit. I kind of thought they were the only fitness tracker with a lot of features. I quickly learned that this Garmin Sport does more than my previous FitBits for no extra money. I love all of the health and wellness tracking. I am still learning all it can do but am loving it. I have had numerous compliments on the fact that it looks like a watch but then "surprise" look what it does. So happy.

Meets my needs and expectations
on September 18, 2022

I appreciate the physical watch with the easily accessible fitness features. My requirements were minimal including only steps, heart rate, and sleep monitoring.
Aesthetically the device looks great on my wrist and appears size proportionate for my larger frame ( 6’5”, 250lbs)

Great entry watch to Garmin's product line, primarily using it for workout tracking. Added benefits of health metrics and goal setting. Easy interface to interact with. Would like a full in-detail tutorial on all the abilities of the watch and app. Happy medium between technical statistics, wear-ability, and affordability.

Very good hybrid watch
on August 28, 2022

Love my Vivomove Sport watch. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear that you forget you are wearing a watch. I have setup without too many features turned-on and so I get 7 to 8 days of battery life. The Connect app gives an incredible amount of data.
In the interest of full disclosure I must sat that the first Vivomove Sport that I purchased had many Bluetooth connectivity issues. Garmin support was excellent and when their troubleshooting efforts did not fix the issues, they promptly sent a new watch to replace my faulty one. The new watch has been functioning flawlessly and I am very happy.
