You’d Never Guess This Was A Smartwatch: Garmin Vivomove Luxe Review

  • 2019 wasn’t a banner year for the traditional smartwatch. The Apple Watch Series 5 is only a slight improvement over the Series 4; the same mostly goes for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active 2; and Google’s WearOS is still very inconsistent ... to say the least. But 2019 was the year that hybrid watches finally got interesting.
    For me, that started with the Fossil Hybrid HR and its innovative e-ink display … and with the Vivomove series, Garmin has taken it to the next level with better looks, better displays … and, higher prices. So how much would you pay to keep your smartwatch's brains hidden? Find out in the MrMobile Garmin Vivomove Luxe / Vivomove Style Review!

    I got the rose gold style- perfect for a teacher and anyone who shouldn't have a smart device on them the majority of their time working. I mostly wanted a fitness tracker with a traditional clock face so this fits the bill. Absolutely love it and not having to charge every other day. I find the tracking is excellent though my time reading before bed is often counted with my sleep. I've found the sweet spot for waking up the screen via tap is above or below the hands, not too close to the center. Thanks for your in depth review

    Welcome back Michael and thanks for the review. I've been very happy with the previous gen Vivomove and was thinking of getting the exact Luxe model you reviewed (silver background screen). I'm worried though about the screen legibility in bright light conditions (indoors on a sunny morning or outside shade - i suppose in direct sunlight it will be kind of useless like it's predecessor). If you could share your opinion on this i'd be grateful. Cheers!
