Garmin Vivomove HR Premium

First let me say, I was hesitate on purchasing because I've never invested in Garmin products. Fortunately, I'm very pleased with this purchase. It does exactly what I need it to do. I wish there were other colors as I got the rose gold/white but it's cool.

I've gotten to use this for about 1000 miles snowmobiling. It does mostly everything I want and more. It does however take some getting used to a the controls are not exactly straight forward to figure out. The manual leaves quite a lot left to the imagination. I would say I know more about using a gps than most. I have had the trail tech gps for about 5 years and have been using marine navigation gps units for 20 years.

The Tread 2 Overland solved a problem for us that seemed to have no other solution. The cost made us a bit reluctant to get it, but it has been well worth it. We highly recommend it for overlanding and explorations of remote wilderness areas. We would have given this device 5 stars except for one issue which is described in the following write-up. We frequently take 4x4 tracks into remote areas of the Arizona Strip. We carry 3 different GPS units plus detailed paper topo maps and a compass. While our 3 GPS units have always agreed on the coordinates, their mapping software placed us at different locations. Even the paper map gave us a location that our eyeballs told us was incorrect. We had to fall back on triangulation off of mountains to find our true location on the paper map. The satellite imagery download allows us to see exactly where we are - no more second guessing the GPS units or the paper map. The satellite view also allows us to "see" what is over the next ridge, and in our first outing using it, we found 2 tracks that we had never seen before. There are some problems with the "Adventure Roads and Trails overlay". In two instances, it indicated 4x4 tracks that were in fact, hiking trails for non motorized vehicles. In another instance, it showed a 4x4 track that clearly did not exist. The satellite imagery does take a while to download, but this feature alone is worth the price. So...... While the Tread 2 Overland does what we wanted, the errors in the "Adventure Roads and Trails overlay" are enough of a problem to deduct 1 star. Using the downloaded satellite imagery makes remote backcountry navigation unbelievably simple and nearly fool proof. Even with this ease of navigation, if you are venturing out into the wilderness, ALWAYS take along the paper maps and compass just in case the Tread fails.

The device is awesome, the fact that I can't work my routes in BaseCamp and upload them to the device is a huge miss for Garmin. Why force me to use a competitor product to create my routes on the PC to upload them to your device? Anyway, easy to use, the mount is solid and it is really visible in daylight, which is a plus.

Love the watch however the silicone band is causing a major irritation on my wrist. I bought the Rose Gold with black silicone band with Rose Gold clasp. I'd love to get a black leather band with Rose Gold clasp. Any suggestions? I have been unable to find a replacement band. Thank you.

Good watch, I feel like it does a better job of counting steps than the Fitbit blaze did. I like the challenge you can do with your friends. The one thing I wish it did was light up the hour and minute arms when you lift up your arm. I know you can change the wake up screen to a digital clock but I got a analog clock for a reason. Other than that I do like it and recommend it.

I love this watch, I really do. The black face on it has the appearance of another smartwatch from a distance. I wish the numbers were larger and dials were more pronounced. Other than that, it is everything I've expected. However, I am finding myself having to calibrate it more often. That's a huge disappointment. Not only can you see the time clearly, but having to correct the time is a major pain. I cannot recommend this watch just quite yet. I still wear it, but may end up selling it. Things to improve upon are listed above. For their competition, I believe this is better than the Kronabys of the world.

I bought my watch a year ago and now have the problem with the timing not face timing (ie hr and min hands). This was the reason why I uninstall and reinstall my app but the problem still exists. Tried to go to retail store that carry your product but the response was I also don't know how to set. Downloaded the steps but still can't get it fix. Please help!!!

I ended up having to buy another one because the latch on these bands just slide over if something pushes them in slightly. Ridiculous!! My parents bought me another one only because I was so upset mine fell off my wrist which was clipped so tight I had imprints left on my wrist. I think that garmin needs to change these bands and replace people's lost watches whom this has happened. I read other reviews and I am not the first and I won't be the last if they don't change these bands!

i didn't like.the color combo, but others might!
