    Customers like the appearance of the wearable computer. They say the look of the watch is compelling, elegant, and light. They also appreciate the sharp design and simple style. The color screen looks great and is a really nice touch. The touch screen looks very good and the customizable colors and wigdet are really nice. The face and body are almost perfect for their tastes and being made of aluminum makes it.

    Customers are mixed about the sleep tracking of the wearable computer. Some mention that the fitness tracking is really good, it tells time and tracks steps, and allows them to monitor their exercise. However, others say that the sleep tracker isn't very detailed, can't accurately keep time, and the fitness tracker data has a large disparity with other fitness trackers.

    Customers are mixed about the notifications. Some mention it acts as a phone companion showing notifications, like texts and calendar reminders. However, others say that notifications are a mess and they can't get it to receive them. They also mention that message notifications often dissappear in less than a second.

    "...Also, message notifications often dissappear in less than a second (I don't even have time to lift my arm before they go away) and it's the same..." Read more

    The watch I've been waiting for?

    The watch I've been waiting for?
    I was a Fitbit user for years. Not a daily runner or athlete, so have been satisfied with the Fitbit app and tracking. Have not been happy with the quality or appearance of their devices. Add in the data slurping Google buy-out and the arrival of the next vivomove meant it was time to move on (well, and my ugly Ionic breaking, again). My review is based on my priorities for the device which are watch first, tracker second, and smart device last.As a watch I love it. I love the clean and simple style. I love that's it not a chunky/heavy slab on my wrist. It's surprisingly small actually. The face and body are almost perfect for my tastes, and being made of aluminum makes it half the weight of the stainless steel models. The minute hand silently ticks every 10 seconds. Now for the bad. The strap itself is ugly, stiff, and just all around crap. I expected that though, and planned to order some watch straps. I wasn't expecting just how bad it is though. It has zero give, so it either cuts in to your skin since it so thin and stiff, or it just dangles and slips. I have smaller wrists and only have 2 holes left in the strap, so it seems short. If buying this model (nylon strap) I would highly recommend buying some 20mm straps at the same time. The only real (unexpected) disappointment for me is the white tipped hands. I assumed they would be visible in the dark, but they are not. It's difficult to read in minimal darkness without activating the display. Since I'm not interested in wasting space by having a digital watch on top of an analog watch, I've set it so that my 2nd widget displayed when swiping is the clock/battery level. Not something I am happy about, but it seems a compromise for easiest way to check the time in the dark.As a tracker I am still getting used to it. I have only had it a few days. It definitely seems to be either less sensitive or more accurate than the Fitbit. It logs less steps in a day, but right now I'm assuming that is just because the Fitbit tended to log some hand movements. I like the app, but it will definitely take some getting used to coming from the Fitbit. I would like to see more customizable goal tracking included (weight management, calorie intake, distance, etc.), but I may just not have found those features yet. I love the calendar piece. I wish that could be exported/synced to a private xcal though. The HR monitor seems equivalent to the Fitbit. I have not yet used the website.As a smart watch it works fine. I don't want interactive features (such as replying to texts/emails or answering phone calls). For me, I mainly want to see notifications. Half the alerts I get I need to know about but don't need to respond to immediately so my phone can stay in my pocket or I don't have to exit media/game apps. My only current issue is that it won't let me setup Garmin Pay. The app says it is connected, but then when I try to setup Garmin Pay it says not connected. I'll have to contact support to see what's going on.Other than a few minor details, so far I am pleased with the device. Again, I haven't had it long so my opinion may change based on things like customer support or durability. The daily "please write a review" emails from Garmin are a bit annoying though.UPDATE:OK, after rebooting my phone the Garmin app setup Garmin Pay no problems.One of the things I was concerned about was the glass. The more expensive models have the Sapphire glass and I wasn't sure if I was going to regret not paying for it. So far I have bumped into enough things to think I'll be OK. My Fitbit Ionic was scratched on day 1, and seemed to acquire a new scratch weekly. So far my Garmin glass looks brand new.I have noticed that the auto activity detect is not nearly as accurate as the Ionic. I've had it start and stop anywhere from 30 seconds to 12 minutes after the schedule (detect after 10 minutes). Was testing this for a week on a treadmill, so it was very regular movement which should have increased it's detection accuracy. At this point I don't rely on auto activities at all. Minor annoyance, but probably should be starting/stopping manually anyway.The biggest complaint I've had so far is that it was VERY insensitive to double-taps on the watch face to wake it. I usually have to double-tap two or three times. SUPER annoying. I dealt with it for a month before finally contacting support (who were fantastic BTW). A reset seemed to resolve the insensitivity, and I was happy. Until after I customized the appearance and the issue returned. Anyway, got it narrowed down to the weather complication. I had that set on the top. When I switched to the day/date complication on the top the double-tap began to work on the first try again. Submitted the issue to support, so hopefully resolved in the future. At this point I'm just glad to have found the problem and gotten it working better using a different complication.I really liked the appearance when I first got the watch and it has only grown on me since. Definitely satisfied with the purchase. Upping from 4 to 5 stars. Now I just hope it lasts longer than the 1 to 2 year average of my previous Fitbit devices.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Non è uno sportwatch, non è uno smartwatch!
    Reviewed in Italy on May 18, 2020
    Con questa recensione voglio raccontarvi tutte le qualità e i compromessi di questo orologio, sarò sincero!

    Premessa 1: Sono già un possessore dell'orologio Garmin Vivomove HR, ho ad oggi quasi due anni di utilizzo alle spalle.
    Premessa 2: Ho utilizzato il vecchio orologio e utilizzerò questo modello associato al telefono Huawei MATE 10 PRO.
    Premessa 3: L'ho comprato venduto e spedito da Amazon a €316.

    Cosa deve avere un orologio Smart secondo me? Deve essere comodo, la batteria deve durare almeno 4 giorni, deve essere impermeabile e l'ora deve essere sempre visibile. Inoltre non deve essere complicato sennò se devo perderci troppo tempo per usarlo mi conviene tirare fuori il telefono.
    Non sono un malato di notifiche e non sono nemmeno uno sportivo agonistico, faccio sport esclusivamente per il mio benessere che sia una corsa o una pedalata.

    Il primo consiglio che vi voglio dare va al di là di questa recensione: se dovete scegliere un prodotto che andrete ad indossare tutti i giorni per molto tempo vi consiglio di sceglierne uno che vi trasmetti qualcosa, deve essere un oggetto che vi faccia piacere metterlo. Questo non è uno strumento di lavoro, è uno strumento di piacere, non siamo obbligati ad indossarlo.
    Il mercato oggi offre una vasta scelta e diverse categorie di orologi 2.0, gli smartwatch e gli sportwatch (escludendo tutto il mondo band).
    Questo Garmin Vivomove Style si posiziona esattamente nel mezzo, offre entrambe le caratteristiche in un semplice ed elegante orologio analogico.
    Le funzionalità 2.0 sono celate, a prima vista non si notano, dentro il quadrante sono nascosti due piccoli schermi AMOLED a colori che solo se attivati (con la rotazione del polso o col tocco dello schermo) mostrano un sacco di funzioni.

    Adesso proverò ad elencarvi tutte le funzionalità che offre e cosa monitora, poi proveremo a tirare due somme e capire i pro e i contro.
    Offre la lettura delle notifiche e risposta con messaggi preimpostati*, risposte alle chiamate, sensore cardio, conta passi, piani saliti, minuti di intensità, calorie bruciate, rilevamento dello stress, distanza percorsa, controllo della musica sul cellulare, meteo, sveglie, qualità del sonno, monitoraggio attività fisica e sport specifici. Inoltre offre funzioni come il calendario (si può visualizzare quello Google), monitoraggio dell'idratazione, si può monitorare il ciclo mestruale, GPS**, Garmin Pay...

    *ad oggi si può rispondere solo a chiamate ed SMS, non ancora a Whatsapp, Telegram, Messanger..
    **sfrutta il GPS dello smartphone, non ha un GPS proprietario. Tradotto: per sfruttare il GPS devi avere sempre il telefono con te durante le varie attività fisiche.

    Rispetto al vecchio modello Vivomove HR ci sono un'infinità di funzionalità in più.

    Alcune funzionalità possono sembrare limitanti, non ha un microfono integrato, non ha un altoparlante, alle si chiamate si può quindi solo rispondere o mettere giù.
    Vi faccio un esempio in merito: sono in bici con le cuffie bluetooth, ricevo una chiamata, rispondo dall'orologio e posso parlare al telefono direttamente dalle cuffie. Questo è un esempio per farvi capire quali possono essere le sue possibilità.

    Per chi invece pratica sport ed è indeciso su quale Garmin acquistare vi posso dire che NON si possono caricare allenamenti sull'orologio e ovviamente NON si possono visualizzare le mappe. Lo schermino LED si accende alla rotazione del polso, le informazioni che vengono trasmesse sono solo 4 (cronometro, km percorsi, andatura media e calorie briuiate, oltre all'ora, il giorno e lo stato della batteria.
    Tutte queste informazioni sono riportate nello schermo inferiore, sullo schermo superiore invece si può visualizzare sempre lo in quale zona cardiaca ci troviamo + frequenza cardiaca in tempo reale, indicata dalle lancette fisiche dell'orologio come un tachimetro (vedi foto).

    Cerchiamo di tirare due somme, quali sono i pro e i contro?
    Per chi vuole uno smartwatch ci sono tantissimi contro, per chi vuole uno sportwatch pure.
    Per chi ha pretese ma non troppe e vuole comunque al polso un prodotto elegante allora va benissimo! Ma bisogna sposare la via di mezzo! Il pensiero è legittimo..con 300 euro di spesa uno deve pretendere il meglio! Ma secondo me lui è il meglio della sua categoria, la categoria degli orologi ibridi! Sicuramente posso dirvi che avrei pagato volentieri un 50 euro in meno..

    Note importanti per chi possiede uno Smartphone Huawei:
    fateci un pensiero prima dell'acquisto, sappiate che per farlo funzionare dovrete navigare un po' nelle impostazioni del vostro telefono, dovrete lasciare sempre aperta l'applicazione Garmin Connect e dare tutte le autorizzazioni per fare girare l'applicazione sempre in background.
    Se avete dubbi e volete contattarmi scrivetemi pure!

    Se volete proteggerlo un po' di più nonostante il vetro in Gorilla Glass vi consiglio di acquistare una PELLICOLA e non il vetro temperato. Quest'ultimo infatti non riesce ad adattarsi bene al quadrante essendo un po' curvo lungo la circonferenza. Andate a vedere le altre recensioni sul mio canale, ho parlato di entrambi i prodotti.
