Two new fitness bands were announced today by Garmin at Mobile World Congress, with the vivoactive HR and vivofit 3 adding to an already impressive range of wearables produced by the company.
Garmin’s Aussie General Manger Matt DeMoss says “The vívoactive HR builds on the incredible versatility and multi-functionality of its predecessor by adding wrist-based heart rate and a barometric altimeter – allowing it to track even more data essential to workouts and day-to-day activity. All your efforts to stay active are accounted for from taking the stairs at the office to going on a run or ride,”
Adding; “Our latest edition vivofit, the vívofit 3, has once again set itself apart from the pack as a leader in fitness tracking technology. Key features include a one-year battery life, water resistance and new developments like Move IQ to offer a full package to people wanting to take a step toward a healthier lifestyle.”
Lets take a quick look at them both:
Taking from the Garmin wearable heritage, the Vivoactive HR features sports apps for walking, running, biking, swimming, golfing, rowing, skiing, snowboarding and even paddle boarding!
As the name indicates there’s a wrist based Heart rate monitor on board so you’re getting the best possible data from your wearable.
Taking the heritage of the original vivofit, the third generation adds a new intelligent “Move IQ” which can automatically detect activity and intensity minutes, allowing it to differentiate walking, running, biking, swimming and other training.
These things aren’t just a simple fitness band either, designed to be worn all day they are water resistant to 50 meters and of course have that remarkable one-year battery life.
The vívofit 3 will begin shipping to Australia in the next month or two and will come with a black and white band for $159 in regular size, $169 for extra large.
Then there’s the designer The Jonathan Adler + Garmin for vívofit 3 Bali and Capri two pack designs which will set you back AU$59.
