\u201cThis is the first activity tracker from Garmin with Elevate wrist heart rate technology that monitors your heart rate, offering more feedback on your daily activity, calories burned, workouts and sleep,\u201d said Walter Mech, MD at Garmin Sub Saharan Africa. \u201cThanks to the v\u00edvosmart HR\u2019s high-resolution display which remains on throughout the day, you can review your progress against your fitness and stay connected with smart notifications while you are on the go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The v\u00edvosmart HR\u2019s sleek band is lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear and with up to five days battery life, a 5 ATM (50 meter) water rating, users rarely have to remove the device.<\/p>\n

The v\u00edvosmart HR tracks steps, calories, approximate distance, heart rate and displaying the time of day, but more than that, it gives users credit for going the extra mile, thanks to an integrated barometric altimeter. The v\u00edvosmart HR measures activity intensity through Intensity Minutes so users can monitor their progress against weekly aerobic activity goals recommended by leading health organisations like the World Health Organisation.<\/p>\n

Like its predecessors, the v\u00edvosmart HR reminds users when they have been sitting too long, learns their current activity level and creates a customised daily step goal, motivating them to develop healthy habits and stay active throughout the day. Users can also manually set floors climbed and activity intensity goals. The v\u00edvosmart HR is available in black, purple and grey and is sold at the suggested retail price of R 3 899.00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
