The main design goal of the Garmin Vivomove HR was to make it look like an analog watch. And it would do it if the Garmin name wasn’t on the front. Everyone knows that Garmin doesn’t just make regular watches, right? Its face is a flat disk with a surface that reacts to light. When it catches light, beams come out of its center. There are “minute” dots around the edge of the face, and the minutes and hours hands look like they should.
This watch doesn’t look like a smartwatch until you look a little closer. Garmin makes a Premium version, but this one, the Standard Vivomove HR, is less expensive and has a sporty-looking yellow minutes hand. You can also get it with a white strap and a pink and gold face. Both of these basic ones look nice, but they aren’t too expensive. The edge of the covering glass is not done perfectly. We should really only be able to see the brass bezel and the face of the watch.But you can switch to the Vivomove HR Premium models, which look much more stylish. The bright parts on the face are gone, and the silicone strap has been replaced with a leather one.

Where to get Garmin vivomove HR smartwatch?
Their build seems to be a little bit different as well. The edge of the basic Vivomove HR we have here is made of steel, but the bottom and strap mount are made of hard plastic. Premium ones use more metal. It doesn’t feel like cheap, weak plastic, but like the kind of hard plastic you might find on one of Garmin’s higher-end runner’s watches. Steel, on the other hand, feels more expensive and classy. Plastic does make things lighter. This watch is very light, and the rubber band is pretty flexible. It can be done up pretty tight without being uncomfortable. You can wear it all the time.
