One reason for a rather slow adoption of smartwatches globally is the tendency for some smartwatches to go all geeky with bells & whistles for notifications and potentially lose the basic watch functions. But why though? It’s a Watch in the first place
Well, Garmin, notable for its Mapping technology, has announced a semi smart watch that keeps the traditional looks of a classic analog watch but infuses some level of smart tech to its features.
The Garmin Vivomove is sleek, stylish and indeed beautiful. Cutting the traditional watch build but brings two bars on the left and right sides of the clock arms that monitor data such as steps taken, sleep hours & quality as well as calories burned.
It offers some level of customisation by allowing you swap straps to suit your style. Other key features include its One-year battery life as well as its resistance to water for up to 50metres.
The Vivomove is said to cost $150, with a more premium model sporting steel straps costing $300
It pairs with Android phones and iPhones
