To recap

Even when compared with other simplistic analogue activity trackers such as the Withings Steel HR or Misfit Phase, the Vivomove is in a league of its own when it comes to design. It’s a stunning looking piece of kit. If only there was a vibration motor and a more robust app to back it up, this would be the ultimate offering of its type.
