A classic analog-look watch with a hidden touchscreen display, designed for all-day wellness tracking, smart notifications, and phone-connected GPS for outdoor walks and runs.
Personal Shopper Take: Best for customers who want a traditional watch look with modern health tracking.
Why this model is a strong recommendation
The vívomove Sport is the right pick when the customer wants a watch that looks “normal” at a glance but still delivers meaningful daily health insight. The analog hands and clean design keep it wearable for work and everyday life, while the hidden display shows up only when they need it. It is especially compelling for customers who want wellness tracking and notifications without committing to a larger, always-on smartwatch screen.
- Analog style + hidden touchscreen
- Connected GPS via phone
- Up to 5 days smartwatch mode
- 5 ATM water rating

Who should buy it
- Customers who want wellness tracking and smart alerts but prefer a classic analog look.
- Customers who walk/run with a phone and are fine using the phone for GPS route tracking.
- Gift buyers who want something stylish and practical, not overly “techy.”
Who should not buy it

- Customers who want a slim band-only tracker (consider vívosmart 5).
- Customers who want maximum on-wrist training tools and longer smartwatch battery (consider Venu 4).
