I bought this to replace my old Vivomove HR for which the display was becoming faulty. So far, the battery life is better and it is great to have a smartwatch that is actually decent. My main issue is the colour - I bought the Rose Gold but the colour is moreso just a metallic pink which means that my Milanese that I bought to go with my old Rose Gold Vivomove HR no longer matches (see attached pictures regarding the difference between what is advertised, the product and my old HR the colour of which is much closer to what I was expecting and was advertised). Additionally, the screen display could be a little more responsive.

It’s a beautiful watch and my happiness stops there! It’s full of bugs! It started about a month after purchase to freeze screen, not responding until I connect it to charger. Misscounting steps, flights of stairs, analig watch showing a few more minutes than digital, etc. Yesterday, after a year of trying hard, I decided to get rid of it as analog shows some weird numbers, digital shows correctly. I expected a lot more value for money, especially given that it’s Garmin. Fenix 6 works perfectly, but this one is a disaster!

I installed the latest firmware and now the bluetooth connection is unstable, it disconnects and reconnects. I have reset the watch and I have the PIN problem. I don't have time to enter it and it gives an error.

Love the look of a dial watch. Lots of programs and options to play with. Only negative for me is the dial doesn’t glow to tell time at night. Otherwise love it!

Best smart watch I've purchased yet

I've had the Garmin Vivomove Style watch now for about a month and I love it. I've never cared for the look of most smart watches. This watch has the classic traditional style watch but functions as a smart watch with helpful features like tracking heart rate, steps, stress, sleep, weather, text messages, phone call alerts and several other neat features. In addition, the watch is super light but yet feels like quality materials. The nylon band on my watch is called "black pepper" and is very comfortable and feels like it will wear for a long time. I am also getting several days of usage without charging the watch even with many of the features being turned on all the time. I love this watch!

Looks good but definitely needs improvement

Watch looks good, features work well, but..... Bluetooth is a pathetic joke. Watch on my left wrist, phone in my right pocket & it disconnects. For reference, I started with a Pixel 4a and then upgraded to a Pixel 7a. Both phones have same connectivity issues.

Love it! Needed to see if our sons school was calling, family, etc at a glance while working. Does it's job! I use my Forerunner for activities. I also purchased the rose gold band to dress it up on occasion. Very user friendly.
