Great review, Abby!! I have the Vivomove HR Premium. It's a beautiful watch, but nowadays, the display is barely viewable. I believe Garmin changed the technology of these hybrid watches (hopefully, they will last longer). By the way, it's always a joy to watch your detailed reviews in your sweet and friendly voice. Cheers from Buenos Aires!
@@jaswatchingstuff no!!! Don't get it! I took it for a short swim and couldn't get the condensation out. This was on day 3 of wearing it. I returned it and just got a Galaxy watch instead. I miss my Fossil Hybrid watch. :(
Thanks for the insightful review. You are the only reviewer I have found so far to show how the watch looks in darkness. I am thinking that you will have to wake the screen to glance at the time during the night or in a dark area?
I’m new to researching Garmin and determining between this and the Venu, possibly Liliy 2 since I’m smaller. I lean towards this watch for the sole reason of it being hybrid. I do a a lot of HIIT and Weightlifting, sounds like the heart rate monitor isn’t as good as the Venu or Lily2? I’m realizing quickly that Garmin has too many choices and it’s overwhelming
Hello, if you're planning to do a lot of HIIT i would go with the Venu personally, as it tracks HIIT, has onscreen animated workouts and auto rep counting thats helpful for weight training. If you fo t care about having an AMOLED colour display and animated workouts the Lily 2 can be a good option as well: I have a comparison of the Lily 2 vs Venu 2S here: th-cam.com/video/h_YbQpciCtQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nYu-tzxAV4FiEIVT if your looking for more info.
Great review! Thanks so much for incorporating the info on incoming 3rd party app notifications! Excellent. ... I have one more question on this topic if I may: When a brand new 3rd party app (i.e. WhatsApp) notification comes in and is displayed on the screen, do you see the sender and a short preview of the message as well - just by looking at your wrist and without having to go into the notification menu on the watch? Or is that only with SMS and would you have to dive into the notifications menu in order to see these details from messages from other apps?
Hi, you cannot use the timer while working out. And no but alternatively, if you hold down on the display from the homescreen you can open the clock option and use the timer as seen here 07:11 in the video. Ps. If you want a Garmin watch that can use timers at the same time as a workout or you want the ability to create custom interval workouts I'd recommended checking out the Garmin Venu 2S, Vivoactive 4S and/or Fenix series watches. And I've done full reviews on all those watches as well.
Hi Abby. You’ve mentioned before that you use a screen protector to protect your watch faces. Did you purchase one for the Trend? I didn’t see a link in the notes for that. Thank you.
Thank you, Abby, and also for the video where you show how you’ve received discounts on Garmin watches through the Optimity app. I just ordered my Garmin watch using the discount I earned from using that app. Thanks again.
Hi Rachelle, I'd recommend the Garmin Venu Sq 2 if you want to stick to a square watch. Otherwise the Garmin Vivoactive 4S or Garmin Venu 2S would offer a similar experience to the Sense but with more functionality ie. music downloads, womens health app, longer battery but, no voice assistant. If you want voice assistant check out the Garmin Venu 2 Plus! I've also done reviews on all of them :)
Hi Abby, really wanting to get this in a gold - do you think this Peach gold colour is more of a Rose gold (which I don’t like)? Or do you think the Cream Gold would be better? Appreciate your opinion 😊
Hello! I'd say the peach gold is more similar to rose gold than to a yellow gold for sure. Im a rose gold lover so i like it but as you dont, I'd chosoe another colour. Hope that helps :)
Hello! The display can scratch if you're not careful. I'd recommended using a screen protector if you're worried about that. I always use screen protectors myself.
Hi, it does not have a rotating bezel. And I don't have any watches with a rotating bezel currently. That is a not super common feature nowadays, and is usually found in larger smartwatches.
Not sure why the calendar wouldn't update, i haven'thad that issue. I'd try synching the Vivomove, and make sure it is up to date with the latest firmware. If that doesn't doesnt work I'd recah out to Garmin customer service for assistance.
@@AbbyBReviewing I used Techie watch face, and used Calendar as Complication 2. I updated my google calendar by adjusting the event time. Then I watched my watch if it will update automatically without swiping on the watch.
Hello! I am not sure I have not used WhatsApp for calls in a long time. It always vibrates for WhatsApp messages so I assume it would for calls to but I cant confirm that.
Wish they’d make a 44mm variant of this, and have the battery life be juust a bit better. For a “hybrid” smartwatch, a lot of them can get 10 days or more.
@@AbbyBReviewing thanks for replying! The trend on the website has numbers in the corners. Maybe it’s because that one is a different color. Is there any issues seeing the hands
I have a Vivo Style and WhatsApp notifications does not work. Also it would be nice if the clock glow in the dark. I cant the hour when its dark Beside this, i love my Garmin Vivo Style
Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE ❤. And drop any questions below, I love hearing from you guys :)
Wow this is the prettiest smartwatch I have seen!
Thanks for the review. I think this is the best review of this watch from all existing ones on TH-cam, since you showed the full functionality ❤
Great to hear you think so! And thank you 🥰
One of the best reviews I've seen!!! Thanks for showing us the display in the sun
Thank you!! And glad you enjoyed it 💜

Thank you nicozica! I appreciate you sharing your Vivomove HR Premium experience! And im glad to hear you enjoying my videos 🥰
Thank you for the in depth review! My Fossil Hybrid HR gave out and this review convinced me to switch over to Garmin. Keep up the great work!
Thank you 🥰
Going to be in a similar situation with my Fossil HR soon. Are you still liking the Trend? I feel I will miss having buttons.

Hi Mortimer Livan, yes you have to wake the screen to view it in dark lightning or at night.
@@AbbyBReviewing Thanks for the relatively quick response.
Nice review! Loved the detail & that you talked about the cons👏
Thanks so much!

@@AbbyBReviewing , brilliant, thanks!
best review.. you answered my number one question.. does it answer calls.. thankkkksss
Thank you 🥰
My wife is looking for a smart watch, which will you recommend ?
Garmin Vivomove Sport or Garmin Vivomove Trend ?
Hello, I think both are nice smartwatches so I'd recommend both but, I do prefer the Sport for the design though.
Thx for the review! Can you tell me if you can set alarms on the watch? Or does this work thrue the app like the Lily watch? Ty!
Hi, yes you can 07:24
Thanks for letting me know it can use other messenger apps apart from typical messenger
Hey, please answer, a few of my concerns.
1. Can I use the timer in the workout mode?
2. can I customize the timer function as a swipe shortcut?
Hi, you cannot use the timer while working out. And no but alternatively, if you hold down on the display from the homescreen you can open the clock option and use the timer as seen here 07:11 in the video.

@@AbbyBReviewing thanks alot Abby. I will go for venu 2S. It is more sports oriented.
Awesome review. Good job. Thx
Hi Abby. You’ve mentioned before that you use a screen protector to protect your watch faces. Did you purchase one for the Trend? I didn’t see a link in the notes for that. Thank you.
Hello, thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to add that link earlier. It's now added :)

Being a current fitbit sense user. Which garmin would you recommend?

@@ZPHINEST496 thank you! 💜
I'm exactly this...came from a Fitbit Sense, and very happy with Garmin Venu 2S.
@@franciebacon465 thanks for sharing!
Hey Abby, How's the vibration intensity on this watch compared to the Vivomove Sport?
Hello scarab09, I don't notice a difference in vibration instensity between these 2 smartwatches. Both have a light vibration.
hey Abby ! Great video ! I was wondering, while walking, were you able to track the miles/km ?
Hello! Yes, you can accurately track the walks distance in km or miles, as long as you're connected to your smartwatch, during the walk.
Hi Abby, really wanting to get this in a gold - do you think this Peach gold colour is more of a Rose gold (which I don’t like)? Or do you think the Cream Gold would be better? Appreciate your opinion 😊
Hello! I'd say the peach gold is more similar to rose gold than to a yellow gold for sure. Im a rose gold lover so i like it but as you dont, I'd chosoe another colour. Hope that helps :)
@@AbbyBReviewing thanks for reply, so hard to choose! 😩👍🏻
Hello again Abby, someone said that the vivomove trend screen scratches easily. is that true?
Hello! The display can scratch if you're not careful. I'd recommended using a screen protector if you're worried about that. I always use screen protectors myself.
does this watch have a rotating bezel? if not would love a video on best bezel watches.
Hi, it does not have a rotating bezel. And I don't have any watches with a rotating bezel currently. That is a not super common feature nowadays, and is usually found in larger smartwatches.
Hello, can vivomove trend smartwatch track my steps when it isn't connected to my phone’s gps?
Hello! Yes it can.
Can you see the time during the workout mode?
Hello, no, you can not.
Any idea why calendar not updating on watch face?
Not sure why the calendar wouldn't update, i haven'thad that issue. I'd try synching the Vivomove, and make sure it is up to date with the latest firmware. If that doesn't doesnt work I'd recah out to Garmin customer service for assistance.

How many days the the battery is alive?
Hi, I mentioned battery life at 09:07 in the video
Hmm between this and the sport, its a hard choice, but would you say the sport js better value? The lower price point is definitely calling me lol
If you don't need the wireless charging and other features on the Trend the Sport is definitely a nice option at a great price point.
hi Abby, is this watch vibrate when someone calling me in whatsapp?
Hello! I am not sure I have not used WhatsApp for calls in a long time. It always vibrates for WhatsApp messages so I assume it would for calls to but I cant confirm that.
@@AbbyBReviewing thanks for your answer abby. Whats your favorite watch in early 2024?
Doesn't it measure body battery?
Hi, yes it does.
Wish they’d make a 44mm variant of this, and have the battery life be juust a bit better. For a “hybrid” smartwatch, a lot of them can get 10 days or more.
Those watch hands not moving out of the way is a major con. That's a big bug that needs to be addressed.
Yes it was definitely annoying at times but thankfully after updating & resetting the watch, the hands move fine now!
Are you sure this is the Trend? It looks really different than the Trend instores.
Yes, I am 100% SURE (that would be a pretty big mistake 😂). My unboxing is here if you want to see that too: th-cam.com/video/Lyeh-WIa4_o/w-d-xo.html
@@AbbyBReviewing thanks for replying! The trend on the website has numbers in the corners. Maybe it’s because that one is a different color. Is there any issues seeing the hands
Every colour option Trend has a different design. And I have not had issues viewing the watch hands.
I have a Vivo Style and WhatsApp notifications does not work.
Also it would be nice if the clock glow in the dark. I cant the hour when its dark
Beside this, i love my Garmin Vivo Style
Hi Flávio, thanks for sharing! And I agree that would be a good feature to have.
