Garmin is introducing a new fitness tracker called, the Vivosmart. The Vivosmart is a thin, simple looking fitness tracker, that looks comfortable to wear for long periods. While it sounds like the Vivosmart is mostly a fitness tracker, you can pair it with your smartphone to get alerts for things like email, sms and others.
It sounds like the Vivosmart will work to keep you motivated. For every hour you stay inactive a bar will appear on the screen. I guess this is Garmin’s way of showing you that it’s time to get up and get moving. An interesting feature is the ability to pair the Vivosmart with other fitness devices, such as heart rate monitors or bike computers. This allows you to gain a fuller picture of your activities.
The Vivosmart is waterproof to 5 ATM (50 m) and will be available in multiple colors. You can already preorder the Vivosmart through BestBuy.com for $169.99. A Vivosmart bundle will be available which pairs the tracker with a heart rate monitor for $199.99. The Vivosmart will be in BestBuy stores sometime around mid September.
