Thank you for the review. I just wanted to ask how accurate are the analog hands as to the current time? I have heard reviews saying that it becomes rather inaccurate after awhile.
nice review! I am truly considering this watch as next replacement for my Apple Watch. From your experience, which smart fitness watch has the most accurate heart rate readings? I am interested only in ones that monitor heart rate 24/7 with insights for resting heart rate too. Thanks!
Yes, if you want analog style watch with advanced activity tracking. No, if you want a technical sports watch, get a Forerunner 645 or Fenix 5 - or even the Vivoactive 3 :-)
The wrist gesture stopped working. I set it to “always on” but when I lift my wrist to check my step count, it doesn’t do anything. I have to double tap to turn on the screen. What to do?
so im looking at 2 watchs the vivoactive 3 music and the Vivomove hr, withing steel hr i mainly use my old samsung galaxy gear s3 for time, heart rate and sleep. the back has cracked so i want a new watch and though the hybrid watchs but still cant decide. i heard the sleep tracking on garmin are better now please advice thanks
Is that wavy / flickery disturbance in the display text (mildly present in your video, but more in other people's) just because of the camera? Also would love an update
Rohin T That's because of the camera. But the display is a tad bit blurry and shows some rainbow flickering at odd angles as it in underneath the glass.
Old video I know, but just got this (thanks to BlackFriday) but my Oled screen looks awful, very blurred. I have spent 10 minutes making sure I haven't left a second screen protector on. I think it's possibly to do with being slightly long sighted and very poor pixel density! Pity, but it will be going back
supposedly has the functions of running and swimming etc ... how does it work if there is no gps and on the advertisement from the manufacturer is a map with a track visible?
So sick of the dead screen displays of the smart watches. This is nice and the best of both worlds. Now hate the blank dead screen watches. I prefer physical hands.
Was teetering as to whether or not to buy this. Your video tipped me over, and I ordered it. Excellent job explaining the details. Thx!

If it does loose rime, it's very easy to re calibrate the analog hands

Nice review, great to see the full functionality of the watch. Thanks!
Can this watch monitor the distance/miles:/kilometers?
What is the app you use to show us during the video?
Mine doesn't register floors climbed when using the stair stepper. What gives?
Does it vibrate if it is loosing a connection with the phone? As a reminder that you forgot your phone.
It vibrates if you go out of range. Quite handy!
Yes it does
Nice review. But can you tell garmin to include HR at a glanceable widget!
Do you recommend this phenomenal device?
Yes, if you want analog style watch with advanced activity tracking. No, if you want a technical sports watch, get a Forerunner 645 or Fenix 5 - or even the Vivoactive 3 :-)

Hi mate, 9 Months on im thinking the same as you, What did you end up going for ?
Can you use the heart rate zones for the workouts ?
Do you get phone call alerts when receiving a call?
Josh Ritter yes
Please tell me how to set the time and the date, please
When you received 2 messages from the same person if you click in the X from the first message you can see the second one ?
Does it track sleep? And when you start a workout in the gym can you press it to start recording, or does it have to auto recognise it
Yes - it tracks sleep in a very nice way. And yes, when you start an activity, just press the button and you're good to go!
Thanks! This video was very helpful!
How you get the display to stop flashing?

When I work out ,I want to check my HR whenever I want, and the screen seems to always turn off . Does it stay on if I'm working out ?
Ismail Belefqih yes
That’s the best how to I’ve seen so far

Cant decide between this or vivoactive 3, my main sport is cycling, but i record activity with strava, i like how this one looks
Garmin Edge 820 explore. I saw you have a garmin edge. What model is that? I would like to know if it’s compatible with my bike computer.
Chris Andrews it's compatible with all Garmin Edge except edge 200 and edge 20 😊
Cardio Critic me has edge 25 lucky me
Hello I have a question. Does it have a dual time features? I mean can it shows two different time zone
No, it can't.
supposedly has the functions of running and swimming etc ... how does it work if there is no gps and on the advertisement from the manufacturer is a map with a track visible?
It does not do swimming :(
how accurate the pedometer is compared to the model with gps?
I can't get msg to appear on watch, is there something I'm doing wrong
This Watch I want off staying working on what can I do off this parrying
Are you able to time periods of time, because if you can't that might be a deal-breaker
Dommobrien hi. Yes, it has an independent stopwatch 😊
Cardio Critic that's great, planning on getting it soon, great review
I can't get my iphone notifcations to appear!
steel one yes!
I will just get an Apple watch series 3 and my life is completed!
So sick of the dead screen displays of the smart watches. This is nice and the best of both worlds. Now hate the blank dead screen watches. I prefer physical hands.
I totally agree. I have own 3 of those and it's no longer appealing to me. I love watches and I miss wearing real watch. This is my best shot.
Can I install Russian language in it ?
No sorry, you cannot. Not that I am aware of anyway.
Hello ! No, Garmin support said that I can do it with Garmin Express app
EnWi MiRe - excellent 👍
You've got lots of time....
