Vivoactive 3, Vivomove HR and Vivosport are the new Garmin wearable
The American company presents 3 new wearables, characterized by the optical heartbeat sensor.
There are 3 products that Garmin today announces, all of which belong to the category of wearables. The former takes the name of VivoSport, a fitness bracelet that incorporates an optical heart rate sensor along with GPS.
Thanks to these features, VivoSport can be used by sports enthusiasts as an alternative to a more structured sportwatch, giving up the flexibility of multi-sport use of the latter product category but without compromising on data accuracy distance and heart rate.
For VivoSport, Garmin declares autonomy to work as a fitness bracelet for up to 1 week, while enabling the GPS the duration of the activity can reach 8 hours. Availability on the market is expected from September, at a retail price of $150.

Third, but no less interesting, Garmin’s new proposal is VivoMove HR. This is a smartwatch that comes with the design of a traditional analog clock, including hands, whose case becomes a display with which are provided various information related to their business. Integrates in the back the optical heartbeat sensor, allowing you to easily calculate the user’s level of stress.
This product is offered by Garmin for those looking for a sportwatch that can be identified as a traditional wristwatch, without losing any of the advanced features typically available with a smartwatch.
