Garmin is going head-to-head with 'Fitbit' especially with the launch of its latest offering "the vivosmart 4 activity tracker". This smooth and sleek new wristband does not only track steps, activities and show weather but it also comes with a blood oxygen sensor and will show you the energy you have saved.
This new body battery energy calculator makes estimation of the body’s energy reserves so to help you discover when do you feel more rundown of energy and why. You simply need to swipe through the menu to get to your energy levels or other data offerings such as steps, heart rate, stress levels and how many stairs climbed. As for the blood oxygen sensor, it will let you know how well oxygen is being pumped from your heart to the farthest areas of your body and can tell whether you are getting enough sleep or not.
The new vivosmart 4 is a nice looking piece of jewelry: It is slim, fashionably designed to fit neatly on the wrist and comes in berry with gold bezel, powder grey with rose gold bezel, azure blue with silver bezel, and black with slate bezel. It also feels good to wear. The material is sleek, soft and lightweight, and slips on easily.
The new model comes equipped with a newly redesigned wrist-based heart rate sensor; VO2 max, and tracker for various activities like running, yoga and strength training.
One other interesting feature is the stress level measurement tool that will remind you to relax and take a breath throughout your long busy work day.
As for the battery, it is also strong enough to stay charged for up to a week. Compared to that of the Fitbit HR and Charge 2, which lasts up to 5 days.
