Hands-on with the elegant Garmin Vivomove Premium (pictures)

The Garmin Vivomove is an analog watch with fitness tracking built-in.

This is the high-end Premium model, which features a stainless steel casing and leather strap.

It costs $250 (£240, AU$479), but there are two other models: Sport ($150,£140, AU$249) and Classic ($200, £180, AU$329) The Sport model has a silicone band, while the Classic comes with a leather one.

The Vivomove can track the basics: steps, distance, calories burned and sleep. That's it. There's no heart-rate sensor, no smartphone notifications, or any sort of vibration. It does, however, include two small secondary e-ink screens that help show fitness data.

The one on the left shows how close you are to reaching your daily step goal, while the one on the right is an inactivity bar that will slowly fill with red for every 15 minutes you aren't being active. (I've been running around all day which is the reason there is no red).

The watch can also be worn while doing the dishes or showering (sans the leather strap, of course)....

.... You can even go swimming with it. The Vivomove is waterproof down to 50 meters (about 165 feet).

It also supports 20mm watch straps, so you can customize it with a new band.

The Vivomove is a normal analog watch. It has a normal watch crown that is used to set the time.

And battery life? It's awesome. It uses a coin battery that will last up to a year.

As for tracking data, it can all be found in the Garmin Connect app on Android and iOS.

Here is some information on last night's sleep.

But it's not perfect for users with multiple Garmin devices.

You can have multiple Garmin devices synced to the Connect app, however only one can be active for fitness tracking at a time.
