It also has a barometric altimeter, accelerometer, and other basic health-related features. Annoyingly, you have to have the app open to connect to GPS, which is another step that I always forget when I’m trying to put on my hat, gloves, and jacket and head out the door.

After years of testing fitness trackers, I have been secretly (or not so secretly) yearning for a simple, analog, mechanical watch. The Vivomove Trend isn’t quite that—I still found myself tapping and checking my notifications—but it comes close. While I do still occasionally find myself pecking away with my ham fingers trying to click through and set a timer, it’s easy to check the time and date and forget about it.

The long-ish battery life and wireless charging go a long way toward helping you forget. Battery life lasts for about Garmin’s stated five days. Although the proprietary Garmin clip-on charger does seem to be a little faster with charging, it’s just way more convenient to put the watch on the wireless charging pad on my desk without digging through a rat’s nest of cables and examining the connectors to find the right one. The only charger that’s more convenient is the Apple Watch, and that’s only because I’ve strategically placed little pucks all over my house.

And of course, it has features that Garmin has included for years, like incident detection during activity tracking (a must if you’re a woman who frequently runs or hikes alone), contactless payments, and sleep and continuous heart rate monitoring. I have found Garmin’s Body Battery to be one of the most accurate algorithms for measuring how ready you are to take on the day. It’s reassuring to check my Body Battery and realize it’s not just my imagination that I’m feeling a little low. I often discover that it’s because I’m PMSing (you can also track your periods with Connect!) or because I’m just about to get sick.

Garmin updates its models pretty consistently. There are several models in its entry-level Vivomove line now, and if all you want is a decent-looking analog hybrid watch that uses Garmin Connect, I feel obligated to tell you that last year’s Vivomove Sport is over $100 cheaper, and I didn’t find its OLED display to be notably worse than the Trend’s liquid crystal.

However, if you’re anything like one particular relative who continuously calls me asking if I happen to have any replacements for this charger or that, soon enough you’ll probably recoup those $100 by not replacing proprietary chargers.
