Stopped working after approximately 6 weeks

I loved this watch until it lost the ability to connect to my phone. I have gone through the trouble shooting steps multiple times with no success. The watch is now useless to me. I will be sending it back to Garmin and hope for a replacement.

Awesome features
on August 17, 2022

I’ve never owned a smart watch before as all the ones that are out on the market right now cost an arm and a leg but GovX is affordable and sells quality products. I love how this watch can Jeep track of several different things at once but I also have to say a minor little thing I don’t like and that’s how the step counter doesn’t seem to synch up with the one that is on my smart phone but then again maybe it does but I just haven’t figured it all out yet. Because both step counters give me different counts rather then the same for both. Keeping track of multiple things like resting heart rate, breaths per minute, calories burned, distance traveled, steps taken.

I love the brown/peach Vivomove sport from Garmin. Easy to read and fits well. I still cannot get my text to notify on the watch, but all other social apps do. Work in progress on my end, I'm sure. Also, the digital clock and the analog clock do not align -- weird, but I'll mess around with that too.

Very good hybrid watch

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.

Meets my needs and expectations

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)

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.

Disappointing
on October 19, 2022

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.
