The vívomove® in short

The figures that decide whether this watch suits you, pulled out of the full specification sheet further down.

  • Rated for 1 year of use per charge.
  • 12mm thick. Thinner than 65% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size.
  • polymer or stainless steel case, chemically strengthened glass glass.

Does the vívomove® fit your wrist?

Drag the slider to your wrist width and see the vívomove® overlaid at true scale. Lug-to-lug — not case diameter — decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist.

Watch Fit Tool

For sports watches, Lug-to-Lug (L2L) is what matters most. Bulky is fine — overhang is not.

vívomove® — Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Garmin vívomove® fit my wrist?

The Garmin vívomove® looks balanced on flat wrist widths of roughly 44–60mm (about 11.7–16.0cm circumference). Drag the slider above to check it against your own measurement.

How long does the Garmin vívomove® battery last?

Garmin rates it at 1 year per charge in everyday use.

Is the Garmin vívomove® thick for a 42mm watch?

At 12mm, thinner than 65% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

What other watches are the same size as the Garmin vívomove®?

Certina DS Action Chrono PVD / Carbon / Bracelet, Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 3861 Moonshine Gold / Black Lacquer, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer Stainless Steel / Silver, Huawei Watch 5 - 42mm all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin vívomove®'s 42mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
