Garmin Vivosport | Slate (S/M)
There’s a lot of get-up-and-move packed into this fitness tracker¹. Though it’s compact enough to suit any occasion, vívosport features built-in GPS, which lets you accurately track your activities outside while also including a variety of indoor activities. It brings you fitness monitoring tools and all-day stress tracking plus handy connected features, including automatic uploads to our Garmin Connect™ online fitness community. It’s the complete fitness tracking package.
Sports on the Go or at Home
Built-in GPS gives you the freedom to take your activities outside. During a run, walk or ride, vívosport is able to track distance, time and speed or pace and even map it out for you on Garmin Connect. It’s also preloaded with additional timed activities, including strength training and cardio, so you can work out the way you like.
Daily Fitness Monitoring and Stress Tracking
Monitor key aspects of your fitness and wellness with help from Elevate™ 24/7 wrist-based heart rate monitoring¹. With the heart rate data it collects, vívosport is able to estimate your VO2 max and fitness age, 2 indicators of physical fitness that can improve over time with regular exercise. It also tracks your HRV (heart rate variability), which is used to calculate and display your stress level. The goal is to make you aware when physical or emotional sources cause your stress level to rise so you can find a way to relieve the pressure.
Slim Design, Vibrant Style
With all the features and sports it packs inside, you’re going to be surprised by just how thin this fitness tracker is. Not only does it complement every outfit and every occasion, it’s perfect for all-day wear, especially since it’s safe for swimming and showering. The always-on Garmin Chroma Display color touchscreen is responsive and bright enough to see — even in direct sunlight. The vívosport fitness tracker is available in 3 trendy 2-tone styles, so choose the color combination that speaks to you.
Get Connected
Once paired with your compatible smartphone, you’ll have access to a full suite of smart features that bring convenience and handy features to your wrist. Get text messages, social media updates, emails and more, find your phone, access music controls and use the LiveTrack feature to let friends follow your activities. With auto sync, your finished activities will even automatically upload to Garmin Connect.
Share and Compete
Syncing your activities to Garmin Connect is for more than just storing your data. Garmin Connect is a thriving online community where people on the go can connect and compete by joining challenges, encourage each other’s successes and even share their triumphs via social media.
