A Hybrid Smartwatch That Blends Seamlessly with Fashion
The vívomove® HR is a stylish hybrid watch that features the convenient functions of a smartwatch while incorporating an analog watch face with a touch panel display. Its key features are the everyday-friendly analog watch face design and various monitoring functions.
An OLED display is integrated beneath the analog watch face, allowing for smartphone connectivity and the display of heart rate, steps, and stress levels via the optical heart rate sensor. Additionally, activity tracking functions capture fitness data such as calories burned and sleep patterns.
The vívomove® HR, released in December 2017, has already garnered significant popularity. The 2018 new models focus on new colors that are easy for women to wear. The stylish Sport Silver Seafoam, with its skin-friendly silicone band suitable for exercise, and the RoseGold GraySuede, which combines a high-fashion, textured soft suede strap perfect for business settings. The latter also includes an interchangeable silicone strap, allowing for customization to suit different moods and occasions.
Like conventional watches, hybrid smartwatches display the time with their hands even when idle, preventing the watch face from blacking out and maintaining a sophisticated, rather than overly techy, aesthetic. Their long battery life also means they are less dependent on charging environments.
