Review on 🌟 Renewed Garmin Vivomove Style: Hybrid Smartwatch with Real Watch Hands, Gold & Pink Woven Nylon Band by Anastazja Kulka ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Product is not reliable, not worth buying.

== Do not recommend to buy The watch is not repairable. Garmin, as it turned out, completely lacks the practice of non-warranty repairs. If you buy a watch for outdoor activities (and such watches, it seems to me, are bought for it), you will definitely get scratches on the glass (although it is relatively resistant) and on the case. The case is not under warranty, so do not count on warranty repairs. BUT: and for non-warranty repairs too. In fact, this watch is a disposable toy. == First impression Acquaintance with the watch began with an error message (orange triangle) when selecting the occupation menu item, after which the hands went astray (the hands are electronically controlled) and they had to be set manually again. In the end, only a hard reset helped. I have never encountered such a situation again. Although often when setting the clock for charging, the arrows are completely lost and they have to be set manually (via the application). == Battery The battery lasts 5 days on average. Night pulse oximeter eats up another day, autostart training - another day. Many useful features (such as Garmin Pay) are disabled at 50% charge. Two weeks of work after turning off smart functions is also a lie. Specially put the clock on the nightstand. They quit after 5 days. == Sensors The watch can detect many movement patterns. Step count accuracy is difficult to assess. But different devices show approximately the same result in a large number of steps. So, the error seems typical for such devices. The error of more specific sensors is more noticeable. Floors always add 1 or 2 to the actual amount. Push-ups too (yes, the watch can tell you're doing push-ups). == Application Constantly loses contact with the phone, despite the fact that the watch is on the wrist and the phone is in the pocket.

Pros
  • - Look nice - Lungs - There is contactless payment - Break resistant glass - Fast charging
Cons
  • - Software often buggy - Screen sensitivity for an amateur - Some sensors require greenhouse conditions to measure - The battery could hold more - As the charge is consumed, some functions are disabled - The hull is only scratched superficially. Light grouts appear on the black body
