Goodbye Fitbit!

I have been the proud owner of 4 different Fitbit trackers, before I discovered and fell in love with all things Garmin!

Now, I can’t believe I ever waisted money on a Fitbit.

The vívosmart 3 is a far superior product to the newest Fitbit model. From design, to comfort, to durability, features and especially quality, it is no wonder that Garmin is the most favoured fitness tracker for professional athletes and artist alike!

It's tracking capabilities include steps, floors climbed, calories burned, intensity minutes, distance, heart rate as well as stress level, sleep patterns, and more. As well, Move IQ™ automatically detects exercises such as walking, swimming, cycling and elliptical training. It can also automatically start a timed walk or run activity. So you’re free to get up, get moving, and let vívosmart 3 capture your active life.

The vívosmart 3 tracks heart rate variability (HRV), which is used to calculate and display your stress level. You can look at this graph right on your device anytime you’re sitting or at rest. When the level starts to move up, it indicates that your stress is getting higher and come equipped with a customisable relaxation-based breathing timer. When you start a strength training activity on vívosmart 3, the device will capture your exercises, reps and sets along with your work and rest times so you can leave the notebook at home! Yay!

To help keep up with your busy lifestyle, you can view emails, text messages and social network notifications right on your wrist, and it even lets you synchronize multiple activity trackers. The ability to find your phone, answer and hang up phone calls and wirelessly start and stop and select music on your phone or other device is available right there on your wrist.
As a life guard, I can assure you that it is safe for swimming both in the lake or in a pool as well as in the shower or bath. As a professional dancer, I know how difficult it is not to ruin the watch faces with scratches and scuffs, however the vívosmart 3 has a thin but extremely durable layer of silicone protecting the watch face from exactly that!

In other words- next time your Fitbit craps out do yourself a favour and switch to Garmin!
