What reviewers say

Reviewers like the discreet analogue styling and wireless charging. DC Rainmaker found the display easy to read outdoors but encountered charger compatibility issues and higher battery drain during workouts. WIRED found the touchscreen controls awkward and battery life close to five days, while questioning the premium over vívomove Sport.
