Join the Movement with vívosmart, the New Activity Tracker with Smart Notifications
Today we are excited to announce vívosmart (veevo-smart) – a stylish activity tracker with smart notifications. Stay on track with health and wellness goals while staying connected with vívosmart’s vibration alerts for calls, texts, calendar reminders, emails and more from a smartphone. Like vívofit® and Forerunner® 15, vívosmart gets to know users’ current activity levels and nudges them toward a more active lifestyle with personalized daily goals, and reminds them when it’s time to move. Its easy-to-operate touchscreen displays time of day, steps, distance, calories, move bar, goal countdown and more. Vívosmart can be pre-ordered now at BestBuy.com and will be available exclusively at Best Buy stores and at BestBuy.com in mid-September.
“With its activity tracking features, additional workout support including timed activities, and smart notifications vívosmart is like having a personal coach and assistant right on your wrist,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “It challenges and motivates users to stay active and create lifelong healthy habits, while keeping them connected to family, friends, work, and more.”
Stay Active
Sleek and comfortable, vívosmart features a lightweight curved band with a 5 ATM water rating1 and battery life of up to seven days so you rarely have to take it off. The band’s seamless surface remains discreet on users’ wrists with a hidden OLED display that comes to life to show incoming notifications. Users can also activate the display by double tapping the screen and swiping through the display pages to see the time and date, steps taken, distance, calories, step countdown to a personalized daily goal, move bar, messages received and more.
The move bar features five segments that begin to fill in after one hour of inactivity, and a timer that lets users know exactly how long they have been inactive even if it hasn’t been an hour yet. As the segments fill in, vívosmart vibrates and displays the move bar alert, encouraging users to stay consistently active throughout the day. Walking around for a few minutes will reset the move bar.
Users can capture more of their active lifestyles by using the timed activity feature to track a workout, pairing vívosmart with a heart rate monitor2 or bike speedsensor, or using vívosmart as a remote for a Garmin VIRB® or VIRB Elite action camera3.
Stay Connected
Move more and miss less with vívosmart’s vibration alerts displaying notifications of incoming text, email, call, calendar reminders and more when in range of a paired Bluetooth®-smart device4. With a gentle vibration vívosmart will display an icon indicating the type of notification and a preview of the message. To read more, simply touch and swipe the screen. Users can also set the built-in alarm clock to have vívosmart vibrate and silently alert them it’s time to start their day – without disturbing others.
Vívosmart automatically syncs with the Garmin Connect
Mobile app when in range of a compatible Bluetooth device, so users can check in throughout the day to view reports on activity progress, total sleep hours, periods of movement and restful sleep, and more. Users can also earn virtual badges for extra motivation, and join online challenges.
While in the app users can link their account with a MyFitnessPal® account to easily view an accurate count of calories burned and consumed, and see their net count for the remainder of the day based on calorie goals set in MyFitnessPal – giving thema complete picture of their daily activity and nutrition.
Vívosmart is available for preorder exclusively at BestBuy.com, and will be available in Best Buy stores and at BestBuy.com mid-September in berry, blue and black. Purple and slate will be available only at BestBuy.com. All devices are available in a small or large band size5. Vívosmart will have a suggested retail price of $169.99 and $199.99 (black or slate heart rate monitor bundle). Additional store and online availability will begin in November 2014.
