Do you want the excellent, free Garmin health and fitness platform wrapped up in a cool, fashionable smartwatch? The VivomoveTrend is for you.

Garmin Vivomove Trend MSRP $270.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Garmin Vivomove Trend hybrid smartwatch's fashionable design looks superb, and Garmin's free health and activity platform challenges the best. But the price puts it right up against some serious competition.” Pros Cons The Garmin Vivomove Trend is not a typically sporty Garmin smartwatch. Instead, it’s a lifestyle hybrid smartwatch.

The LCD screen takes up the entire dial, unlike the small OLED screen on last year’s Vivomove Sport. When it’s off, it takes on a partial sunburst-like look, giving the face a very watch-like design. From a distance, it could easily be mistaken for a traditional fashion watch from a brand such as Swatch. I like the way the Garmin logo and six indices give the dial depth, without taking away from its minimalist design.

The Vivomove Trend has an automatic brightness level, which I’ve used during my review period, and although it’s accurate, it does take a moment to adjust. The screen is very reflective, and the screen needs a boost to see any information in bright conditions, meaning that beat before the screen increases in brightness can be frustrating. You can manually set the brightness to a permanently higher level, but this will drain the battery faster.

Best of all, Garmin’s entire platform is all yours, forever, without suddenly needing to pay a monthly subscription. Garmin Vivomove Trend: workout and sleep tracking Previous Next 1 of 4 The Garmin Vivomove Trend may not look the same as a Garmin Forerunner 955 or have quite the same technical ability, but the app provides all the same features, so there’s room for growth over time. I’ve found the tracking system to provide similar results to the Apple Watch Ultra during exercise.

Garmin Vivomove Trend: battery and charging You can use a Qi wireless charger to charge the battery in the Vivomove Trend, in addition to the bundled proprietary connector. How useful you find this will depend on how you charge your phone or other devices. If you already use wireless chargers, it’s convenient, provided you have more than one. If you don’t or don’t use wireless charging much, then it won’t change your life.

Garmin Vivomove Trend: price and availability The Garmin Vivomove Trend starts at $270 for the black or Mist Grey version, while the Peach Gold and Cream Gold versions cost $300. Oddly, in the U.K., all the Vivomove Trend models cost 280 British pounds.
