Garmin Vivomove Trend Review: First Garmin Wireless Charging Watch!
Description
Garmin has just announced their first watch with wireless charging, the new Vivomove Trend. This analog-hand capable watch is the latest in the Vivomove series of watches that aim to avoid the smartwatch look, yet have all the smartwatch features hidden inside. It'll track your activity, heart rate, workouts, and just about every other health/wellness feature that Garmin watches normally track.
In the case of the Vivomove Trend though, aside from the new Qi wireless charging, it also adds Garmin Pay and a barometric altimeter (compared to the Vivomove Sport from last year), further, they've swapped out the display type to increase both clarity and brightness, while making it bigger too.
I've been giving the Vivomove Trend a whirl both in day-to-day usage as well as workouts to see how it handles. Plus, I've taken out a slate of wireless chargers to see which ones work, and which ones to avoid. As always, wireless charging - even when done via standards and with big name companies, seems to be the Wild West still. That's no different here.
