Garmin make this So frustrating!
on June 16, 2022
Posted by: Siggy
The watch is great so far - an awesome example of minimalistic design with great features. I wanted a classic looking watch that can help with fitness and I thought I had found it with the vivomove sport.
However the frustrations and roadblocks that Garmin put in the way makes me unable to recommend ANY Garmin to my friends.
No1 -you have to have the latest phone - or else garmin connect app wont download, so I cant use my phone with this new watch, and there goes half of the reasons why I bought it. I have to connect to my Ipad just to get it to work.
No2 Accessories - Garmin make a million different bands for all their models, except I am restricted to a 20mm size if I want it to fit on my watch - 20mm is too small, just give me an extra 2mm.
No3 - I cant find a backlight - so the watch is useless after dark
And all of this is after 2 days of using it. It is a birthday present so I will stick with it, but Garmin are their own worst enemy

Good but battery too small
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: André78720
Very good service but we have to charge the battery every day, it's too often. Once a week would be correct

Not thrilled at all.
on June 8, 2022
Posted by: MoanAhh
Got this through my health care program as a freebie. Everything is plastic, the screen is difficult to read, the watch face doesn't light up and it's awkward to use when your on the move. I truly thought it was going to be similar to my Vivoactive 4 (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE) The Vivomove Sport will be a backup in the event my Vivoactive 4 dies.
Sorry Garmin, this device just doesn't work for me.

Lovely watch - rubbish battery
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: Chlo
Absolutely love the watch and it’s features but the battery life lets it down massively.
Can’t go 2 days without having to charge even though all notifications are off. No GPS and every setting practically disabled.
If the battery was better it would be the ideal watch,
If it wasn’t for the features on the Garmin connect app such as body battery and other measurable statistics I’d go back to Fitbit or Apple Watch

Overall very happy! Super cute and fits well.

Posted by: Customer12345
Super cute. Love the color and fits my wrist well. The display is brighter than expected - which is great! Love the features and the cuteness. The only con I have is I wish the battery life lasted longer.

Love it!

I had an older Vivo type watch which I liked but was starting to get worn out. I love the look of this Vivomove. It works great. But subtle and stylish. I think the battery runs down a little quicker than I like, but I really think a tweak of features that I may not use will give better battery life. Garmin is my go to for fitness smart watches.

Stylish watch with many features.

I needed to replace my Casio waveceptor and I found the Vivomove Sport. I had a little trouble connecting it to my phone but once I did I was able to use the many features. I’m discovering things all the time! I’m very pleased with the device.

Poor battery life
on May 4, 2022
Posted by: Dallas Alice
I've had mine for about two weeks and paid rush delivery to get it before vacation. It seems to me to have very poor battery life. It usually is completely out of battery in 36 hours. Also, sometimes the double tap feature to stop my exercise does not work. Will probably return.
