Garmin Vivomove HR vs. Vivomove Style: Should you go for the bare essentials…

Garmin Vivomove Luxe – The Only Smart Watch You Need

Hi Girls. I am currently in Seattle, working on a fun project launching in less than two weeks! So far the weather has been great and I am not looking forward to getting back to the NY cold! Anybody else ready for Spring? Speaking of cold, two weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to visit Kansas City. It was such a great city and I had the best time (even though it was 4 degrees outside the day we were leaving). I went to Kansas City to visit the Garmin headquarters and the amazing people behind the brand. You girls know I am obsessed with my new Garmin Vivomove Luxe watch. You can read about my favorite features in THIS post. I have been been a Garmin watch loyalist for years. My go to running watch is the Forerunner which has so many new amazing features. My first Garmin fashion watch was the Vivomove HR, which is still available at great price point, read about my favorite features HERE. Reese wears the Vivomove JR, John loves his Fénix. Long story short, we are a Garmin family!

To say I was excited to visit with the brand, would be an understatement. The trip was about learning more about Garmin, learning the new watch features and collaborating with other Garmin obsessed gals on a fun photoshoot. Let me tell you, I fell even more in love with brand because of the people who make it so great! Seriously, if they’re hiring – I may need to apply! Did you know the meaning of the name Garmin – so fun to learn that it was created by combining the names of the founders – Gary and Min. All product support is based in the US. Mission – engineered on the inside, for the life on the outside, so you can make the most of the time you spend pursuing your passions.

Vivomove Luxe Vs Other Smart Watches

If you’re thinking about getting a Smart watch or replacing an old one, I highly recommend getting Vivomove Luxe. And if you’re a mom, get the VivoFit Jr! OMG Reese is obsessed with hers. We do daily step challenges and she will run in circles trying to beat me! You can set up chores, rewards and so much more! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for visiting Blushing Rose Style. And very special thanks to the Garmin team for partnering with me on this post! As always, all views and opinions are mine.

Garmin Vivomove HR vs. Vivomove Style: Should you go for the bare essentials or prioritize style?

often than not, we’re left to choose between Smart features and a stylish appearance. Fortunately, you get the best of both worlds with the Garmin Vivomove Style. In addition to heart-rate monitoring and activity/sleep tracking, you’ll have connected GPS and NFC payments.

Garmin Vivomove HR

Whether you’re investing in your first hybrid smartwatch or simply want an attractive accessory that offers only the essentials, the Garmin Vivomove HR will treat you well. It offers smartphone notifications, heart-rate monitoring, activity/sleep tracking, and music controls.

Garmin Vivomove HR

It has been a while since Garmin rolled out these two additions to the Vivomove Series, and now it’s becoming more and more clear that these amazing hybrid smartwatches are capable of more than looking pretty. The Vivomove Style is one of the best options for those who want to upgrade but don’t want to break the bank in the process. While the original Vivomove HR is still an impressive watch and now more affordable than ever, the Vivomove Style has done a great job of filling in some of its gaps.

As you may have gathered from the name, one of the main goals with the Vivomove Style is to, well, be stylish. It succeeds in that area without a problem but there’s more to it than looks. You get some helpful upgrades over the Vivomove HR, including a dual AMOLED display, connected GPS, and Garmin Pay. These were all missing on the Vivomove HR, which is indeed a fashionable hybrid but lacking some key features. If you want to enjoy these improvements, upgrading to the Vivomove Style will definitely be worth it. If you’re content with the bare essentials, you might prefer the Vivomove HR.

Style plus features

First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room when it comes to the Garmin Vivomove HR vs. Style. The Vivomove Style is one stylish watch. However, without its most important improvements, it might not be worth it to buy now that the for both watches have dropped to a similar figure.

Considering that these watches are for different audiences, they have quite a few similarities, especially in regards to battery life. The Vivomove Style will get you up to five days in smartwatch mode and one additional week in watch mode. The Vivomove HR is able to squeeze out two weeks in watch mode rather than just one. Other than that, you can expect battery life to be identical when it comes to typical usage. They also share some features, including 5 ATM water resistance and heart-rate monitoring.

Beyond that is where things start to differ. The Vivomove HR has a standard OLED display for showing users their notifications, stats, and other information on the hidden display. With the Vivomove Style, it’s now a color AMOLED, so you’ll enjoy a bit more vibrancy with your display. It also has a slightly larger display, though it can be argued that this isn’t always a good thing, especially when it comes to smartwatches for women.

As for the design of the watch itself, the Garmin Vivomove Style is available in a 42mm aluminum casing that comes in multiple metal finishes, including Light Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and Graphite. You’ll also have your pick of a 20mm silicone or nylon quick-release Band. The watch face is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which is also found on the Vivomove HR. The only difference is the case is 43mm, made of stainless steel, and comes in Rose Gold, Slate, and Silver. It also offers 20mm, quick-release bands.

If you’re someone who cares more about having a fashionable accessory on your wrist than a functional hybrid, you may not be too discouraged by the lack of features on the Vivomove HR. After all, you’ll still have the bare essentials. You can track your heart rate, activity, sleep, and stress levels. You’ll have access to smartphone notifications, music controls, and 5 ATM water resistance. This is more than enough for some users, especially given the very low price tag.
