The Vivomove Luxe in short

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

  • Rated for 5 days of use per charge.
  • Water rated to 50 m.
  • 11.9mm thick. Thinner than 66% of 42mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size.
  • 0.95 inches OLED/AMOLED display.
  • Takes 20mm bands, so third-party straps fit without an adapter.

Does the Vivomove Luxe fit your wrist?

Drag the slider to your wrist width and see the Vivomove Luxe 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.

Is the Garmin Vivomove Luxe thick for a 42mm watch?

At 11.9mm, thinner than 66% 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 Vivomove Luxe?

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 Vivomove Luxe's 42mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
