New to the vívofit activity tracker range, this model recognizes the activities performed: walking, running, cycling, swimming, elliptical training and follows the user's pace throughout the day. With a record battery life of over a year and water resistance of up to 50 meters, the bracelet can be worn every day.

With a backlit screen, the vívofit 3 displays the time, the number of steps taken, the calories burned, the distance traveled. Its inactivity bar alerts its user to any prolonged period without activity thanks to audible alerts. It only takes a few minutes of physical activity to reset the bar, motivating users to stay active throughout the day.

Andrew Silver, Fitness Product Manager at Garmin, is delighted: “We are proud to present the vívofit 3 which contributes to the well-being of users. Key features such as autonomy for more than a year, waterproofing or even a detailed sleep analysis, are accompanied by new innovations, including Move IQ which automatically detects activities. "

To stay connected

Throughout the day, the vívofit 3 automatically synchronizes with the Garmin Connect Mobile application to allow users to find data on their daily activities directly on their smartphone. They can also follow the progress of their sleep cycles, participate in online challenges with friends and earn virtual badges.

Prices and availabilities

The vívofit 3 will be available from April 2016 at the recommended retail price of € 119,99 in a choice of black or white colors.
