Garmin Vivomove HR Premium

The vivo move is a solid watch with some great features, this was my first smart watch and I wholeheartedly recommend it, the only downside is the screens visibility in direct sunlight is non existent but I'm mostly indoors or in the dark so this con wasn't one that affects me very often.

This is my second of the exact same watch (I lost my first after 15 months). It's easy to customize to livable settings (do not disturb times, notifications). I especially like the notifications from my phone at a glance. I'm not a heavy workout timer, so I can't comment on some of that, but I do ride my bike (I put the watch on my leg under my bike shorts), i like that it sets my step goals based on past days, and I like the sleep tracker. Best if all, it's very classy and people are always surprised that it's a sport watch!

First point, I was unable to view in the flesh, so to speak, could only take a card to the check out. I would not have bought it if I had been able to try it on. Second point, the hands are not the same colour, ie hour hand is silver and minute hand is yellow. the hour hand gets lost in most light conditions, both yellow would be much easier to see, this point is my major concern.

I ended up having to buy another one because the latch on these bands just slide over if something pushes them in slightly. Ridiculous!! My parents bought me another one only because I was so upset mine fell off my wrist which was clipped so tight I had imprints left on my wrist. I think that garmin needs to change these bands and replace people's lost watches whom this has happened. I read other reviews and I am not the first and I won't be the last if they don't change these bands!

I have has this for a few days now. Still trying to figure out activity calories - why I have to tell the watch I'm working out and for how long/what type. Shouldn't it just automatically calculate the calories burned? Great battery life and Garmin app is user friendly.
