Garmin has been known for making GPS devices so it's not that surprising that they'd also go into the health and fitness market with the Vivofit smartband. We've been using one for about a week along with other smartbands to see how it fares against the earlier ones. Before the Vivofit, we’ve used the Jawbone UP, UP24, LG G Watch and Sony Smartband. The Garmin Vivofit fits somewhere in between. The smartband tracks basic information such as number of steps, activities and sleep pattern. The Vivofit connects to your Android or iOS smartphone via Bluetooth and logs the activities with the Garmin Connect app. The package also comes with a Bluetooth receiver so you can also plug it to your laptop or PC and sync the band to the Garmin software and plot your activity and performance. The Garmin Vivofit is available in retail and sports stores (R.O.X., Runnr, Toby's, Chris Sports, Anson's, Automatic Center) with a suggested retail price of Php8,450.
