So let me start by saying I love watches. The last activity watch I had was the Fossil Q54Pilot. It got me kind of spoiled. The Vívoactive is missing the two most important things on a watch to me (activity tracker or regular). There is no date on the face of the watch, and the hands do not glow in the dark. Other than that it's pretty good. It is much more lightweight than most regular analog watches. The band is super comfortable. You don't have to charge it once a week like most. Probably my favorite feature is the little band holder. It holds the extra band so that it's not flapping all over the place. Overall 4stars. Would be 5 if it wasn't missing the simplist of features.

I do not normally write reviews but I felt obligated on this one. I almost did not get this watch due to the syncing issue, but I am glad I didn't listen. Maybe Garmin came out with an update but I have not experienced anything other than exactly what I expected. That is an analog watch that doubles as a pedometer. It is resistant enough to workout in and slick enough to wear with a suit. I also have never experienced the syncing issue, it has always worked for me on my iPhone 6. In fact, it syncs faster than my vivofit used to. There is no vibration when you reach your goal, but there is nothing wrong with going over a goal right? And if the full bar is not an indication enough, then you can just sync it to see your numbers. In the end, I could not be happier with this product especially at its price point and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pedometer they can wear with a suit or casual wear and is more than just a bracelet.

The Garmin Vivomove is simple but elegant. I can wear it with a tshirt and jeans or a suit. It is also comfortable on the wrist, which is hard for me to find. The watch is as simple as can be. No date, just time. The face is big and easy to read, but bulky or heavy. The steps functions are also easy to interpret and see.

I am extremely pleased with my Garmin watch with its step tracking and reminders, and once I got through the setup process with my smart phone, it was very easy to get excited about meeting the daily and weekly goals. I also love the "classic" styling of the watch. Only thing missing is being able to see it in the dark.

Overall, the watch works great! Would recommend. But I wouldn't recommend without telling others about a couple of annoyances. The watch tracks my steps and alerts me when to be active, without being intrusive or obvious. I've also received many compliments! It's a sleek modern watch that just happens to be a step counter. One problem I've had (and others have had) is syncing the watch to the app. I have to restart Bluetooth on my phone for it to work. I've also accidentally pulled the pin on the watch with my clothing, which stops the watch's hands.
