Review on ๐ŸŒŸ Renewed Garmin Vivomove Style: Hybrid Smartwatch with Real Watch Hands, Gold & Pink Woven Nylon Band by Kichiro Norimatsu แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

Since this is my first smart wearable device, there is nothing much to compare with, but I can say that I am completely satisfied with it. Although it is worth recognizing that the official price in 2022 is too big, the watch simply does not have direct competitors. I have been thinking about smart watches for a long time, but their toy appearance did not give me peace of mind. Even the most advanced watches did not look like an accessory, while these watches, although they do not look like some kind of casio or orient, already create the impression of a classic accessory mixed with functionality. I would like to see more of these hybrid watches on the market, but so far this is the only decent hybrid watch option that combines the classic look and modern features of a wearable device.

Pros
  • 1. Appearance. Looks fresh and effective. For those who love the classic look of a wristwatch but want to have a smart device on their wrist, this is just the perfect option. At the same time, their appearance allows you to wear them with a fairly large range of clothes, except that with a jacket itโ€™s not a fact that it will look good, but for this you should already consider the luxury version. 2. Battery. Since I am not a supporter of the principle "there is enough charge for a day," then the full 4 days with all the functions turned on suit me perfectly. Charging is fast enough, even from a computer it took 30-40 minutes to charge, so autonomy is on the level here. 3. Functions of the bracelet. The pulse is measured quite clearly, as well as everything connected with it does not raise strong questions. Wildly like the Body battery feature that indicates the level of charge in your body. She ignores bursts of vivacity and adrenaline rushes, so for those who cannot calculate their strength, itโ€™s just a godsend. It helps a lot when driving for a long time. The level of stress also determines well, when there is a strong load, it offers to breathe and relax. In general, watches quite often offer to take a break and move around. Listening to them, I began to take breaks from the computer more often. Maybe, it seems, but he became tired a little less in a day. The clock incorrectly determined sleep only once, considering that I went to bed three hours earlier than it was in reality. I do not rule out that the clock was uneven and distorted the calculation of the pulse, which caused the incorrect reading of sleep. 4. Love the phone notification alerts. The phone itself has been in silent mode for 10 days, but I am always aware of when and what they write to me. There is a quick answer only when the incoming call is reset, but honestly I canโ€™t imagine how this can be implemented for messages. 5. Watches motivate you to play sports. Just because they allow you to track running performance, I began to run in the evenings. 6. Payment by the clock. Not always convenient, but you can show off
Cons
  • 1. The analog dial is extremely dark. Black backing, black hand, black numbers - in low light it is impossible to see the time. It remains only to enable the widget, but then the functions are duplicated. 2. Sometimes a clumsy translation. Often word wrapping or abbreviations are incomprehensible the first time, and all sorts of โ€œno eventsโ€ or โ€œno messagesโ€ are an eyesore. I hope that over time the jambs will be corrected. 3. The player widget works strangely. Either it does not work at all, then it works as it should, then halfway, switching tracks, but not changing the name on the screen. I worked more or less correctly with the built-in player, but I use music, there are often glitches there. 4. Waking up by double clicking is implemented very strangely. You have to not just double-tap, but directly hit the screen. 5. I canโ€™t call it a full-fledged minus, but the gorilla glass glass does not inspire as much confidence as the glass in ordinary wristwatches for 10 thousand. Despite the fact that the gorilla is on my smartphone, which has not collected a single scratch on the screen without a film in a year However, watches are more prone to damage. Let's see what happens to them
