Garmin vívomove® Sport Hybrid Smartwatch
The vívomove Sport is Garmin's entry-level hybrid smartwatch — the same analog-hands-plus-hidden-touchscreen concept as the vívomove Trend, but in a lightweight polymer case at a significantly lower price. It delivers Garmin's core health tracking: Body Battery, sleep staging, stress, and Pulse Ox, with smart notifications and connected GPS via phone. At under $180, it's the most affordable way to get a Garmin hybrid smartwatch that looks like a traditional watch.
Our Take: The vívomove Sport is the budget pick in the vívomove lineup. You get the signature hybrid design — real analog hands, hidden touchscreen, classical watch aesthetic — without paying for the stainless steel case, wireless charging, or Garmin Pay of the Trend. If those premium features aren't must-haves and you just want a Garmin that looks like a regular watch, the Sport delivers the experience at a much lower price point. The polymer case does feel noticeably less premium, but the health tracking is identical.
Why you'd choose this model
- Analog + hidden touchscreen — hybrid at entry price The same hidden touchscreen beneath real analog watch hands concept as the premium vívomove Trend — at a significantly lower price.
- Lightest vívomove — 24g with band The polymer case keeps weight to just 24g — lighter than most sport smartwatches and barely noticeable during sleep.
- Full Garmin health tracking — Body Battery, sleep, stress Body Battery, sleep staging and score, all-day stress, Pulse Ox — Garmin's core health stack at the lowest price in the hybrid lineup.

vívomove® Sport — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the vívomove Sport and vívomove Trend?
The vívomove Trend is the premium version: stainless steel case, wireless Qi charging, Garmin Pay, and premium band options (leather and metal mesh). The vívomove Sport is the budget version: polymer case, proprietary cable charging only, no Garmin Pay, and silicone bands only. Both share the same analog-plus-hidden-touchscreen design and identical health tracking features. The Sport is the pick if price matters and premium materials don't.
Does the vívomove Sport have Garmin Pay?
No. Garmin Pay is not available on the vívomove Sport. If contactless payments are important, consider the vívomove Trend, or any watch in the vívoactive or Venu series.
Does the vívomove Sport have built-in GPS?
No. The vívomove Sport uses connected GPS — your smartphone's GPS is borrowed when you're on a walk or run with your phone. For standalone GPS, the Lily 2 Active, vívoactive 6, or Venu series are the options.
How does the hidden touchscreen work on the vívomove Sport?
The vívomove Sport has a hidden LCD display beneath the watch face. Tapping the watch face or raising your wrist activates the display. The analog hands sweep to the sides when the full screen needs to be revealed. The mechanism is the same as the premium vívomove Trend — the key difference is case materials, not display functionality.
How long does the vívomove Sport battery last?
Up to 5 days in smartwatch mode. Charging is via the proprietary clip cable — no wireless charging option on the Sport variant.
