garmin vivoFit 3 & vivoaCtive Hr


Garmin has released more wearables for us to strap on and get going with the fitness plan.
The Vivofit 3 caught our eyes with it’s year long battery life. That’s right a year’s worth
of battery life from a single charge, making it even easier for you to track your
fitness 24/7. It’s more of a casual fitness wearable, able to recognise the activity
you’re doing automatically. Walking, running, cycling and swimming are all
recorded and synced to the Garmin app, with no need for you to do anything.
For aspiring Olympic athletes and marathon trainers there is the smartwatchesque
Vivoactive HR. It’s a departure in design from the Garmin Vivoactive,
sporting a more quality band and a premium feel. A colour touchscreen is slapped
on, showing a prettier display with customisable watch faces. It can track the
usual running, biking, swimming with golfing, rowing and snowboarding onboard
too. Battery will last you up to 7 days with use or 13 hours with GPS enabled for
marathon runners. Prices for the Vivofit 3 start at $100 and Vivoactive
HR, $249.
