Garmin introduces a new Vivosmart wearable and more
Garmin has had a busy fall. The company just announced an upgrade to its Vivosmart wearable along with the company’s first ever smart scale.
The new Vivosmart HR fitness band has a touchscreen and offers extended battery life while maintaining all of your fitness records throughout the day. It includes a built-in heart rate monitor for checking your heart rate during exercise and can also receive notifications from your connected smartphone. It can be paired with either your Android or iOS enabled device via Bluetooth and must be connected to the Garmin Connect application in order for various functions to work properly. Some include receiving calls, text messages and emails right on your wrist. The band can also be used as a playback controller for music. And to top it all off, the wearable is water-resistant and can be submerged up to 50 meters. It’ll be available this November in black, blue and purple.
Garmin’s new Index Smart Scale can do all sorts of things. It can calculate your weight, body fat percentage, body mass index, water percentage and even one’s muscle and bone mass. It can store information for up to 16 different people at a time and link with your compatible smartphone through your home’s Wi-Fi connection. It will hit shelves this November in black and white color options. Pricing has not been specified.
