Garmin’s stylish new smartwatch comes with an analog design and a ‘hidden’ touchscreen
As a proud new representative of the “hybrid” smartwatch breed, the Garmin Vivomove Trend aims to primarily attract attention with its “classic” analog design and “real” ticking watch hands, looking like a (jumbo-sized) traditional timepiece at first glance while also rocking a “full-dial” display that only appears “when needed” to show notifications, various in-depth health stats, and even help you make wrist payments.
Unfortunately, the Vivomove Trend needs to connect to an Android handset or iPhone to accurately monitor your outdoor walks, rides, and runs, which is definitely a little disappointing given the $270 or $300 price tag (depending on what colorway you end up choosing).
On the bright side, you do get a decent battery life of “up to 5 days in smartwatch mode”, as well as wireless charging support, not to mention Garmin Pay functionality and top-shelf water resistance. Is that enough to offset the lack of standalone GPS connectivity? You tell us.
