Garmin vívomove Trend

Android; iPhone with limitsPaid tier: Garmin Connect+

Real watch hands sit over a hidden touchscreen that appears when needed, so it reads as a dress watch first. Garmin added Qi wireless charging support alongside its clip charger, Garmin Pay and Pulse Ox. It relies on the phone for GPS and lasts five days, the shortest runtime of any Garmin here.

  • Headline: Garmin: 'Smartwatch mode: up to 5 days'.
  • Garmin: 'Watch mode: up to 1 additional day'; no built-in GPS (uses the phone's GPS); charges by clip or Qi wireless pad

The ring’s outer track is the headline claim; the inner two are the always-on and GPS figures as a share of it. An empty track means Garmin does not publish that figure. Why the figures differ

Cleared health features

Garmin cites no regulator clearance for a health feature on this model. Its heart-rate, sleep and blood-oxygen readings are wellness features.

A clearance says what a feature is allowed to claim, not that it replaces a doctor. Cleared versus wellness features
