The vívomove® HR in short
The figures that decide whether this watch suits you, pulled out of the full specification sheet further down.
- 11.6mm thick. Thinner than 86% of 43mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size.
- 0.38" x 0.76" (9.6 mm x 19.2 mm) display.
- Sport: fiber-reinforced polymer Premium: stainless steelSelect Premium: stainless steel with 24K gold or 18K rose gold over titanium-based PVD coating case, chemically strengthened glass glass.
Does the Vivomove HR fit your wrist?
Drag the slider to your wrist width and see the Vivomove HR 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 — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Balanced Fit
43mm on a 55mm wrist
Comfortably inside the edges of your wrist, and it seats and sits low enough to wear without thinking about it.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 43mm, so you could go bigger.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.

vívomove® HR — Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Garmin Vivomove HR fit my wrist?
The Garmin Vivomove HR looks balanced on flat wrist widths of roughly 45–61mm (about 12.0–16.3cm circumference). Drag the slider above to check it against your own measurement.
How does the Garmin Vivomove HR battery compare with other Garmin watches?
At 5 days in everyday use it ranks #264 of the 285 Garmin watches in our database — below the middle of the range. The full ranking, including GPS and power-saving figures, is on our Garmin battery life comparison.
Is the Garmin Vivomove HR thick for a 43mm watch?
At 11.6mm, thinner than 86% of 43mm 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 Vivomove HR?
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm, Oppo Watch X2 Mini, Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Stainless Steel / Black Meteorite / Bracelet, Zenith Defy Extreme Diver Shadow / Bracelet all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin Vivomove HR's 43mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
