Best for Fitness: A Review of Garmin Vivomove HR
Garmin, a US-based multinational technology company, has released their newest smartwatch unit, the Garmin Vivomove HR. The said smartwatch shies away from the usual smartwatch aesthetics and depicts a regular analog look but functions just like the usual digital smartwatch.
Garmin Vivomove HR is the company’s pledge to introducing normal-looking smartwatches that save a lot of attention unlike high-tech-looking and digitally designed smartwatches. More so, the Vivomove HR still showcases exceptional performance when it comes to fitness tracking and recording heart rates, steps, and sleep.
