Garmin launches new smart bracelet and scale

Wearables are those devices that are now on everyone's lips, although they are not always in our body. We all know, above all, the smart bracelets, but there are other types of devices that are less well known, such as scales. It is well known that Garmin makes all kinds of devices to control our physical activity, but now it has wanted to go a step further and also manufacture its weighing machine smart, the first in its history.

The new scale does not arrive alone, if it does not arrive accompanied by a new improved version of your bracelet to measure our physical activity vivosmart, which this time has an optical heart rate monitor that will allow us to monitor our pulse throughout the day without affecting the autonomy of the device.

Garmin has wanted to jump on the train of adding heart rate monitors to mid-range devices, in the same way that Sony or Polar have already done in the SmartBand 2 and the A360 respectively. The Vivosmart HR will be measuring our pulse 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and, even so, Garmin promises us a autonomy of more than 5 days. In addition, the new Vivosmart also you will receive notifications, just like the Apple Watch and other smartwatches do. On the other hand, it will allow us to control the music and will warn us when we are not doing sports for a certain time.

As for the scale, the Smart Scale will be able to measure our weight, our Body Mass Index, fat and percentage of water, and you can do it with up to 16 people different, which should far exceed the number of relatives in almost any family.

The Vivosmart HR will be available since November (maybe mid in Europe) in black, purple and blue and will have a price that will be around € 130. As for the scale, it is expected to arrive in Europe in mid-November for a approximate price of € 180.
