Design
The Move looks more or less like a standard sporty
wristwatch. The slim body comes with a rubber-y
wrist strap, and is lightweight and unobtrusive enough
that you’ll almost forget it’s there. There’s a single
button on the right side, and that’s about it.
It’s available off the shelf in five colour
combinations: a black body with black strap
(pictured), black body with a mint strap, and a white
body with mint, blue, or coral straps. Head into the
customization and you get a lot more options: nine
different strap colours, ten activity tracker dial colours,
five case colours, and 13 different faces ranging from
plain colours to interesting Venetian speck designs.
Build quality is mostly solid, and the strap is
comfortable, but whatever plastic the face is made of
is definitely a bit too soft. After only a week or two of
day-to-day wear it’s already picked up a few scuffs
and scratches, and it’s only going to get worse. It’s
not too bad – nothing that gets in the way of using
the thing – but if you worry about keeping your tech
pristine then this might get on your nerves.
The face has two dials: the standard watch face
and a smaller central dial that goes up to 100. This is
your step count for the day, measured not in steps
(100 would be manageable even for the laziest
among us) but in percentage. That means you can
use the accompanying app to set any step goal
you’d like, and get real-time updates on your
progress from your wrist.
Once you hit 100 percent the dial resets to zero
and begins to climb again, so it will still track your
