Garmin Vivomove Style Hybrid Smartwatch – Good looking and functional

Long time garmin user here but unfortunately i had to return this onethis is because i have tattoos on both my wrists and the optical hr sensor couldn’t read my heart rate on this model (which has the sensory in a line rather than the usual triangle configuration). For reference my fenix 5 which i have used for a few years has no problem reading my heart rate. So i thought, i know, i’ll wear the watch on the on-site of my wrist instead so it has naked skin. Problem then is you can’t activate the sketch watch (which is activated by the motion of lifting and turning the watch towards you). This has been designed with the watch worn on top of the wrist and doesn’t work if you wear the watch on the inside of the wrist instead. A real shame as i wanted a smart watch that was more like a watch for everyday use but after an afternoon of trying to make it work for me, i’ve gone back to my fenix 5 (which is huge on my tiny wrists.

Really love this watch, i’ve got the 3s and it is great for reasonably small wrists. The garmin connect app is good and i’ve had no issues syncing this with my lg10 phone.

I like this sleek fashionable smart hybrid watch as it looks good and feels good. I find that i have to charge it though every 4/5 days and find it can be slow to connect to phone gps. One other negative is that is does not allow me to pause recording a training session. Instead you need to save and restart (unless there is an option in the settings that i have not found yet) so not as as garmin forerunner but better looking .

I like the looks of my watch and the way it works. Unfortunately after buying even a glass protector i slightly bumped it and glass cracked. One or more customers complained about the same issue in reviews. The glass stands out and that is the reason why it happens. So so disappointed as i love my watch. I contacted seller on amazon. No idea how i will get it fixed now.

I thought about this watch for some time, now i’m so glad i purchased it. Love the fact you can read the time with out tapping anything & in bright light. Choose your priority of what you want to keep track of. Definitely a good investment. Battery life is reasonable last about 4/5 days but charges quickly.

The watch is really good does exactly what i wanted, but has to swap wrist every now and then as it gets sore, i’ve put a pic up to show.

  • If you have tattoos, sensor won’t work (despite other garmin models working fine!)

  • Great fitness tracker/smart watch that actually looks like a watch. Great functionality

  • Good but sore

Looks amazing and works perfectly. (bought for my g/f) cannot see any downside to the watch/fitness tracker. It was a gift and is absolutely loved by my g/f. Looks classy and way better than the apple. Fits a very small wrist also and is very light, have been told she hardly notices it, so another plus. Tracking seems pretty spot on, including things like heart beat and stress levels is cool, can see texts from the phone also.

Bought this as a xmas present for my wife as i was a convert through the vivoactove 3. It is a good looking watch that doesn’t look too ‘sportswatch’ whilst still tracking the usual fitness metrics. The functional display is very discreet too. The feedback to date from my wife is that it’s a cracking everyday watch that is a much better option than her previous fitbit.

Brand: Jaybest Kids Smart Watch Phone : My son finds it super easy to use!!!

Smooth operation and well set out display. You will need micro sd card,to access many of the apps. The watch also can work on it’s own sim card. No designer label,but does the same job and has same features. Above all a great smart watch for your child. Very nice my daughter very happy . It’s a great gift for my son and gives him a little independence without spending a lot of money on an expensive phone. This watch does everything it’s supposed to do and very well built as well. Bought this kid smart watch for my daughter. She absolutely love it very much. After order, it’s arrived very quickly and well packaged. Such a lovely gifts for the kid. Buying this smart watch is a 10-year-old birthday present for my daughter. She loved it and set up her watch herself the first time she received it. Once you have the sim card installed, you can make a phone call. There are also a variety of different games. My daughter says this smart watch is more convenient than a mobile phone. This sm...

TOPsic Compatible Garmin Fenix 5 Straps : Great

I couldn’t stand the silicon band that came with my 935. Softer and fits better for my smaller wrist. Soak them in vinegar water for overnight to take out the smell. Fits perfect and the price is right. Don’t know why people are saying poor quality. Feels and looks like the original. Great straps to switch in — almost identical to the actual straps that come with the watch, though perhaps a very very slight bit more flexible/softer. Great straps and will be buying other colors as well. No reason to buy from garmin and spend >2x as much, these are great. Close to a garmin original but half the price. Catches work well on my fenix5 – look like the original which fell apart after 2 years. No issues with the 40-50 activities i’ve done since buying (cross bike/running). Will look to buy again if i need any more. Good fit and looks good now have yellow and blue :). Like that it arrived with tools required – easy to fit. Fits great, and very secure. I got the neon green one for biki...

Samsung Mobile UK Qi Quick Charging Station – If bought for a note 7 ensure you have a compatible quick charge wire for the dock

Do need to buy compatible wire separately which i was expecting and brought in advance. Can place fingers around charger to use phone and charge at same time. Ok but doesn’t come with a cable or plug. Great samsung galaxy qi wireless charging stand. Works perfectly after using it for a couple of months. Easy and straightforward charges my samsung s6 phone just over 2 hours from 0 battery life. Blue led indicator lights up whilst on charge and when fully charged led light turns green. Purchased from amazon directly. I love being able to see the time without picking up my phone or who’s calling or the date. I love not having to plug it in or out every time i want to use it/charge it. It’s white matching my desk and my other wireless charger and stops the cable always falling down the back. The blue light is a little bright for the bedroom but sort of acts as a night light. It takes a little longer to charge than the cable, even as a fast charger, but it’s an acceptable level. Buying...
