Moov Now Review 2.0 wearable
A tiny 9-axis sensor that coaches form across five activities and tracks sleep when the workout's done — all for under $60.
Few of the other wearables can match the Moov Now, especially at the under $100 price range.
Our reviewerA Big Step Up From the Original Moov
The Moov Now is the second generation of the Moov, and it addresses the original device's biggest complaint head-on: size. Moov shrank the sensor considerably while keeping all of the original tech, including a 9-axis Omni-motion sensor that captures an impressively wide range of motion.
The device itself is a tiny plastic sensor, available in multiple colors, that comes with two soft leather straps — one for the wrist, one for the ankle — comfortable enough that they never felt harsh on the skin during testing.
Where it earns its coaching reputation is breadth: it actively coaches running, swimming, boxing, walking and strength training, sending data back to a companion app that studies your form and gives feedback. Swimming is the one exception — Moov gathers stroke count, duration and calorie data but doesn't coach in real time underwater.
Beyond workouts, the Moov Now also tracks general daily activity and sleep, so it's useful even on days without a dedicated training session. At $59.95, with a 10% off promo and free shipping available, it's hard to find another coached wearable at this price.
Why We Love It
- Real-time coaching across five different activities
- 9-axis sensor captures a wide range of motion data
- Smaller and more comfortable than the original Moov
- Tracks sleep and daily activity, not just workouts
- Under $60 — among the cheaper coached wearables available
Considerations
- Doesn't actively coach during swims — only gathers stats afterward
- Requires a companion smartphone app to see any coaching feedback
Coaching Across Five Activities
Running gets built-in exercises for an optimal stride, with post-run data on cadence, range of motion and how much pressure is landing on your joints.
Boxing was the most fun of the five in testing, delivering an intensive workout while still tracking form. Walking and strength training round things out with in-depth guidance for those who'd rather skip running altogether.
Built From Customer Feedback
The original Moov was well received but generally considered too large. Moov Now responds directly to that with a smaller sensor that keeps all of the original's tracking tech.
