Know before you buy
The watch features a hidden touchscreen display that sits behind the analog hands. When you receive a notification, the hands dynamically move out of the way so you can read your messages or alerts on the digital screen.
Yes, the Vivomove HR Sport is water-rated to 5 ATM, meaning it can withstand pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. It is safe for showering and swimming, though it is not designed for high-speed water sports or scuba diving.
No, the Vivomove HR Sport does not have integrated GPS. To track your pace and distance accurately during outdoor activities, you will need to keep your paired smartphone with you to utilize its GPS connection.
Yes, the watch uses standard quick-release pins, allowing you to easily swap the silicone strap for other compatible bands. This makes it simple to transition from a sporty look to something more formal.
In smartwatch mode, you can expect up to 5 days of battery life. If you use it primarily as a traditional watch, it can last an additional week in watch-only mode.
The Vivomove HR Sport syncs with the Garmin Connect app, which is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. You can also configure Garmin Connect to share your activity data with third-party platforms like Apple Health or Strava.
