Stepping up in Garmin's range

The vívomove Trend sits in an interesting position within Garmin's hybrid range: launched in 2023, it takes the clean analog premise of the older vívomove 3 and builds in Qi wireless charging compatibility — meaning any standard charging pad will do, rather than a proprietary cable. That is a quietly significant convenience for a watch worn daily. At 43.3 grams on the wrist, the polymer construction keeps things genuinely light, and the cream gold PVD bezel against the French grey case gives it a warmer, more considered look than the Sport below it. The hidden LCD is the neat trick of the whole Trend line: the dial reads as a conventional analog face until you raise your wrist, at which point the hands step aside to reveal the health and notification data underneath, then return to position. Five days on a charge in full smartwatch mode, with a sixth available if you strip it back to hands-only timekeeping.

Learn more about Garmin

Gary Burrell and Min Kao founded Garmin in 1989 — the name is a contraction of their first names — to build GPS receivers for aviation and marine use. Consumer navigation came later, and wearables later still.

Unlike most names in this directory that arrived from outside watchmaking, Garmin is not a licence. It designs and builds its own devices, writes its own software and runs its own satellite-positioning stack, which is why its watches do things Swiss houses do not attempt.

The fenix line established the template in 2012: a rugged multi-sport GPS watch with mapping, altimeter and week-long battery life. Forerunner covers running, Instinct the hard-wearing end, Venu the smartwatch end, and the MARQ line puts the same electronics in titanium and sapphire at Swiss prices.

Battery life is the differentiator. Where most smartwatches are measured in days, Garmin measures in weeks, and in solar-charging models sometimes in months.

These are instruments rather than heirlooms, and they date the way electronics date — but for anyone who actually trains, they are among the few watches on the market that earn their place.

1989: Founded by Gary Burrell and Min Kao.
2003: The Forerunner brings GPS to running watches.
2012: The fenix line defines the multi-sport GPS watch.
2019: MARQ places the electronics in titanium and sapphire.
2020: Solar charging extends battery life to months.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

What size strap does it take?

20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
