Garmin continues to add to its wearable family with a new device that could redefine the brand's name—at least when it comes to style. Garmin announced the vivomove tracker today, an analog watch designed to be worn all day as it monitors activity and sleep.
The first and most important thing you'll notice about the vivomove is that it's Garmin's most traditional-looking tracker. It's an analog watch with a case finished in numerous colors including black, white, rose-gold, gold, and silver, with both silicone and leather band options. Yes, it follows the general formula of other fitness-tracker watches we've seen debut recently, but for Garmin, that is a departure from the norm. On the watch face are two small, curved bars: one that fills in black showing progress toward your daily activity goal, and one that fills up in red when you've been inactive for too long. These bars seem like a good way of making important stats glanceable without cluttering up the simplicity of an analog watch face.
It's clear that the design is the focus of the vivomove because its features are the same as many other Garmin devices. It monitors all-day activity, inactivity, and sleep, syncing to Garmin's Connect system to keep track of progress. It's also water resistant up to 50 meters and has a one-year battery life, which is welcome for a device you're supposed to treat as a regular watch.
