We pick up VivoMove HR (Sport) from BestBuy couple days ago and the initial impression is, we love it.
Coming from VivoSmart HR, we are looking for a lightweight and easy to use activity tracker that has some extra features (time, alarm and notifications). GPS and golfing are not essential features for us. We like our VivoSmart HR, but it is not the most elegant activity tracker (ugly) in the market.
VivoMove HR looks like a modestly priced watch (sub hundred dollar Timex?), feel light, comfortable and much more attractive than VivoSmart HR. Set up is a breeze and all functionalities work as advertised. Coming from VivoSmart family, you will feel right at home. Love the "Do Not Disturb" feature especially if you use it as sleep tracker. Compare to VivoSmart HR, vibration (alarm and notifications) is much lighter but you can set it to high.
One major concern that we have is the screen readability, especially under the bright sunlight. Compare to VivoSmart HR, the texts are less legible, mainly due to the reflection from the glass (hint to Garmin, anti-reflection coating). The auto brightness will kick-in in couple of seconds and make the texts brighter. That does help a little. Overall, screen readability is a lot better than what we expected. The OLED works wonderfully in low light, again, the auto brightness works wonder (takes couple of seconds).
We are not sure about battery life yet but will update that information after a week of use.
Overall, if you need an activity tracker that easy to use, lightweight and comfortable, most of all, you are not "ashamed" to wear it everyday, GPS, golfing and Garmin Pay are not essential features for you, give VivoMove HR a try.
