Garmin to launch a heart rate monitor for women that attaches to sports bras،
In addition to the stunning Lily 2 smartwatch revealed earlier today, Garmin announcement another product aimed at women, the HRM-Fit. This is a heart rate monitor that attaches directly to medium and high support sports bras to more accurately track heart rate and real-time workout data.
Garmin's new heart rate monitor can be used during various activities like running, indoor and outdoor cycling, strength training, HIIT and much more. HRM-Fit transmits all the data it tracks to compatible Garmin smartwatches and Edge cycling computers, compatible fitness equipment, the Tacx Training app and more.
“Designed with comfort in mind, the HRM-Fit is a training tool specifically designed for our female customers. Whether you're going for a run or taking a HIIT class, it easily attaches to the bottom band of a sports bra and provides accurate heart rate and workout data to help you know your body better by tracking your movements.” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of global consumer marketing.
Basically, you don't have to wear your smartwatch while doing your exercises. The HRM-Fit easily captures steps, calories burned, intensity minutes and heart rate all day long, then transmits all the data to your smartwatch when it's in range. It can even update all compatible Garmin devices via the Garmin Connect smartphone app.
According to Garmin, its new HRM-Fit heart rate monitor offers up to a year of battery life. Additionally, the wearable device will sell for $150.
