At CardioCritic.com we liked the original Garmin Vivomove. It was innovative, stylish and functional. However, it was a little lacking in Fitness Tracking features and smartphone connectivity. This new Garmin Vivomove answers all those criticisms.


The Vivomove features a clever HYBRID display with traditional analog hands and a discrete OLED display. When not illuminated the OLED display is invisible, leaving a simple, clean and stylish watch.

Not only have Garmin added this clever digital display but they've also given the Vivomove HR the Garmin Elevate wrist based heart rate monitor.

The digital display features step tracking, calories burnt, distance walked and floors climbed. All your daily activity tracking data is uploaded to the Garmin Connect App giving access to all your fitness tracking data.

Stress Monitoring

The wrist based heart rate monitor is also used throughout the day to measure levels of stress. The heart rates HRV - heart rate variability - is measured to provide an insight in to your current level of stress. A stress score between 1 and 100 gives an insight to levels of stress and can even help identify stress triggers throughout the day.

All Day Heart Rate Monitoring

Accurate calorie burn data is calculated whether or not you're exercising as the Vivomove HR samples heart rate 24/7.

Move IQ

If your Vivomove HR detects an extended period of movement and elevated heart rate it logs the activity as an exercise - automatically. Move IQ can be configured to recognise an exercise after a pre-determined time. For example, I set me unit for 2 minutes RUNNING and 10 minutes walking. A run UNDER 2 mins did not auto qualify for an exercise session.
A walk under 10 minutes does not qualify as a walking exercise. What this means is that your Garmin Vivomove HR will automatically detect your exercises - whether or not you put it in exercise mode. All your moves and sessions are monitored.
