My Garmin smartwatch review contains affiliate links. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Did you hear? This year I’m a Garmin Ambassador! That would usually mean I’d be out and about traveling and using Garmin’s products, but in the Corona Virus age, it just means I’m having fun with my new vivomove® Luxe Hybrid Smartwatch. I love the sleek rose gold frame and wristband.
The watch comes in 10 different colors and styles and is waterproof up to 50 meters. I love this watch compared to an Apple watch because Garmin has more functionality and tracking capabilities. Garmin samples your pulse every second! Garmin models are also cheaper than an Apple Watch.
The other thing I love is the battery charge. I charge my watch once every 5 days and it only takes 30 minutes to charge. You can receive texts and phone calls and also find your phone from your watch! I’m sharing more of the amazing features below.
