CES: Garmin Announces Vivofit Fitness Band

January 7, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

vivofit_group_shot_smallYou probably think of Garmin as a GPS company with some high-end wristware. They’re making a move down-market with the Vivofit fitness band.

It looks a lot like a Fitbit Force, but the Vivifit has a larger display (not unlike a Fuelband). Unique in the category, the Vivofit claims to learn your activity patterns and set goals based on that, upping them as your fitness improves. There are two versions: with and without a heart monitor.

Like Fitbit, the Vivofit syncs with an app and with Garmin’s online fitness community, Garmin Connect.

The Vivofit ships this quarter, for $130 and $170.
