The bracelet that monitors your achievements. This is how we could define this second version of the Vívofit model recently presented by Garmin, in a clear and solid commitment to the field of wearables. Among its new features included with respect to the predecessor version, you will find sound alerts in order to activate you, a stopwatch for your activities with the possibility of transferring them to the Garmin Connect website and a backlit display.
Garmin has decided to provide additional functions to this smart and quantifying bracelet with the firm purpose that its users find the necessary motivation to change certain life habits, so that these are healthier and can overcome every day.
The Garmin Vívofit 2 bracelet has been designed to monitor your activity level in detail and, in this way, to be able to assign you an achievable daily goal. This smartband will count the number of steps you take each day and, at the same time, will inform you through a countdown of the steps you have left to reach your goal. It also gives you an estimate of the number of calories burned and the distance traveled.
Audible alerts
The vívofit 2 activity tracker is able to remind you when you have been inactive for too long and does so with a series of audible alerts. This will happen when you have been still for more than an hour. The wristband will display a red movement bar on its rectangular screen and, at the same time, it will emit a slight sound. The red line will progressively increase every quarter of an hour and will only restart the instant the user walks for at least two minutes.
Another remarkable feature of the Garmin Vívofit 2 activity bracelet is the stopwatch function it includes so you can forget about the watch and focus on your training session. An added valor of this gadget is that all the timed data is automatically dumped on the Garmin Connect platform, so you can analyze it and check how you are progressing.
Sleep monitoring
Every night, by simply pressing a button and activating the sleep mode, the quantifier bracelet will monitor your sleep to inform you of the actual hours you sleep and periods of movement. In addition, thanks to its backlit LCD display, the user will be able to see it in full detail in the dark.
If you are interested in monitoring your heart rate and having more exhaustive information about the amount of calories consumed both inside and outside the gym, you always have the possibility of acquiring a compatible heart rate monitor. On the other hand and, thanks to the automatic synchronization function that incorporates this bracelet, you can download to your smartphone all the data stored in it every 100 steps.
The Garmin Vívofit 2 is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters, has a battery life of up to one year and has a new improved closure to prevent the bracelet from opening accidentally. It is sold with two interchangeable straps and different sizes (large and small) and in a wide range of colors.
