Fitness trackers are all the rage it seems, Nike Fuelband, Fitbit, Jawbone Up and countless others are all trying to score a corner of this growing market in activity and lifestyle monitoring products.
Garmin, who already have the vivofit, are about to launch another, the vivosmart which it hopes will combine the best features of a fitness tracker and a smartwatch into one device.
Garmin's vivosmart can do all the standard fitness tracking such as steps and calories burned and adds alerts for calls and texts, calendar alarms and emails when paired to a smartphone on it's built-in OLED display.
Waterproof to 50m with a battery that Garmin claim will run 7 days on a single charge, it's an interesting device which may fill a niche that others haven't quite covered.
Garmin vivofit will be available (in five different colours) in Q4 of 2014 at £139.99.
