The problem with describing this product is that it spans a few categories, so I think I’ll define a whole new category – Hybrid Wearables. This is any device that does more than one of the key functions of a primary wearable category – in this case – a connected device for your smartphone and a top-notch fitness band – the Garmin Vivofitsmart.
A more advanced sibling of the successful Garmin Vivofit the vivofitsmart also challenges you to better fitness by giving you a new daily step goal based on your previous usage.
Unlike the Vivofit (original) there are no year-long claims of battery life here, the Vivofitsmart will last around 7 days before requiring a charge – on par with its Jawbone/Fitbit counterparts.
The Garmin Vivosmart will be in stores in October in a range of colours and two sizes, and will set you back $199.
