Thanks to the rounded edges and soft finish, I could wear it through long days without getting irritated. All told, the hardware doesn't call attention to itself, and that's a good thing. I'll admit I find those details a little unsightly, but most of the time they're hidden on the underside of your wrist.

The band does have some conspicuous size-holes, along with a metal stamp bearing the Garmin logo.

(There are four other color choices besides black.) In fact, the device is so minimalist that there isn't even a charging port just a set of charging pins on the band's underbelly, which works with a proprietary cradle. The black model I tried isn't what I would call stylish, but it's plain enough that it blends in with most outfits.

No, this looks like a run-of-the-mill fitness tracker - just a plain rubber bracelet with a hidden display that only lights up when you double-tap it. The Vivosmart might be a mash-up between a fitness band and a smartwatch, but it definitely doesn't look like one.
