Functional, but disappointing

It works decently, but the battery is dead in under 2 days and when a workout ends, it sometimes deletes all the step I just got. It will celebrate that I got my goal, the workout ends, then I’ll be 2,000 under. Would try a different brand next time.
I like the looks of the vivomove Sport and that it is waterproof. It also captures all the data that I am interested in tracking from my workouts. I also really like the fact that the Garmin products pick up where my old one (vivosmart HR+) was in recording workouts in the Connect App. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is my main workout for heart rate/aerobics is Water Aerobics. Lately, I don't know if it is the water, my webbed gloves or something else, but mid workout - the recording of the aerobic workout stops as if I had selected on the watch face that my workout is completed.
I am really sorry but this is the most annoying device ever. Doesn't work properly - after starting the workout screen gets unresponsive sometimes - it doesn't track it and I can't finish it. And as they're no buttons I can't even restart it without plugging it in. It disconnect from my phone even if the devices are next to each other, and my sleep doesn't load from the smartwatch to the app from time to time. And also autowalk sometimes stops in the middle of me actively walking. I used to have the cheapest Fitbit before and it was doing it's job without any issues so I was expecting at least that from Garmin. Really sad, because it looks good.
This is my second Garmin. I'm rather used to the Forerunner, but I wanted something a bit more stylish for dressing up. However, this little watch while nice looking and effective in most ways but one flaw, battery life is minimal. I've had to charge this watch every other day. I'm not use to that, is quite inconvenient and it interrupts the tracking for sleeping cycle, and that is important to me.
I just did not like the touchscreen watch face. It was either not working or was over-reactive. I tried it for almost the full 30 day period before I returned it; just was not happy with it.
Nice clean look for more formal events when you still want to track metrics with garmin. Good value. Downside is small font and the Vivomove trend isn’t significantly larger either.
I bought this watch about 2 months ago, and it already has a small crack in it, which it says that the screen should not break. Also, the digital analog time keeps displaying the wrong time. And lastly, I have gotten a bad pressure wound on my wrist from wearing this watch. I love the features of this watch, however it does not seem worth the problems it brings.
