VivoMove Sport watch by Garmin

My husband was looking at various "health" watches, and we chose the Garmin over Apple or FitBit. I love the customizability of the Garmin watch and all its features - what drew me to this watch was the stress monitor, and the fact it looks like a regular watch...there's a bit of a learning curve getting used to some of the features, but overall I love my watch!
I've had my watch a couple of months and really love it. I have ran into issues in that I see nothing on the dashboard anymore. I have tried reinstalling but i am still struggling. It is so much better than Fitbit!
I received this watch as a gift and I enjoy the features and it looks like a expensive watch. It does not have large numbers like other smart watchs, but looks very stylish. The feature display is small but can be seen clearly. The App works well when synced to the watch. I wish there was some way to take BPs without buying an accessory, but other than that I am extremely happy with my watch and the standard features (counts steps, heart rate, stress level, sleep monitor, pulseOx, body battery, calories burned).
This vivomove Sport replaces an older Garmin product. It has a much bigger face than my old one, but it makes it easier to read. I do wish it would show the current temperature outside like my old one, but maybe in time that feature will be added. I do like the steps icon on the face to show me where I am at for the day. Battery needs recharged about every 3 days, which I'm kind of disappointed as I thought it said it would last 5 days.
Looks great, but the App isn't the easiest to navigate, and the digital display screen area is way to small. Disappointed, it doesn't take blood pressure, I was under the impression it did.
The Garmin Vivomove is a nice watch, worth the money if you're looking for a multiparameter watch. The only thing I don't like about it is that it needs to be connected to your phone or tablet while walking or running to use the GPS to give accurate distance. Previous models of the Garmin Vivoactive don't require a phone connection. That was nice because I usually don't carry my phone when I run, & sometimes when I walk. Also, additional apps can't be downloaded like the Garmin Vivoactive (at least previous versions). I usually workout using the FitOn app & there is an app that can be downloaded to the Vivoactive that allows the heart rate to be seen on the screen while workout videos on FitOn app are being used. Nifty feature so you don't have to keep looking at the watch. Not a big deal, but just convenient. The Move is sturdy & comfortable. I like that there is a screen protector for it. I really do like the Vivomove. It doesn't have a few features that the Active has but it's enough for the most part. I would recommend the VivoMove.
