Classic watch looks, modern watch features: the vívoactive 3 fits tons of tech into stylish, ultra-light package. Thanks to Garmin’s Elevate optical heart-rate monitor, pulse information comes straight off your wrist. GPS provides speed and distance information while outdoors. Outside or in, an accelerometer turns your movement into data, giving you credit for workouts in the gym and on the trails. Pairing it with the free Garmin Connect app on your smartphone opens up a whole new set of features: review activities, receive notifications, control phone apps like music players or VIRB cameras. Follow daily highs and lows by tracking stressors (monitoring your heart-rate variability). When stress levels are high, a relaxation timer will walk you through steps to reduce it. Monitoring your activity and heart rate 24/7, Garmin’s tech learns your activity level and guides you towards a healthier lifestyle.
