The Garmin vivomove Trend is a smartwatch that successfully combines fitness tracking capabilities with a traditional watch design. It meets the criteria of tracking core health and fitness metrics such as steps, stairs, calories, heart rate, respiration, sleep tracking, stress levels, while also providing communication features like reading texts, calendar reminders, notifications, and emails. The watch has a minimalist and attractive design, with a silver face and grey band that receives many compliments. The readability of the screen is great in any light, although it tends to glare easily. The only drawback is the finicky touch interface that sometimes requires multiple swipes to register.
For users who want a dressier option, the vivomove Trend serves as a second watch. The functionality is seamless once you get used to the alternate UI necessitated by the physical watch hands. It offers wireless charging as an option, although the corded charger is still preferred by some. The only minor complaints mentioned are that timers and alarms don't sync between watches and don't automatically shut off when the watch is not being worn, and the lack of preferred digital watch faces and custom faces on Connect IQ.
Overall, customers are happy with the vivomove Trend, appreciating its quality, elegant design, and functionality. It is highly regarded for its appearance, lighter weight compared to other Garmin watches, and the addition of Google Pay. The battery life lasts around 5 days, although some users wish for a different style of charger instead of the clip charger.
In terms of accuracy, the vivomove Trend is Considered on par with other Garmin models such as the Fēnix and EPIX. However, some customers opted not to keep the watch due to the absence of features like airplane mode, shutdown, Health Snapshot, and morning reports.
