Garmin launches the affordable Vivofit 4 fitness tracker in India

The Garmin Vivofit 4 fitness band has now been launched in India. The low-cost fitness tracker is designed to track steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep. It can be purchased on Amazon India in black, white, or black speckle at a price of INR 4,999 (US$ 77).

The highlight of the Garmin Vivofit 4 is its battery life. The activity tracker promises to last a year on a single charge because of its replaceable coin cell battery. It also features a sunlight-visible, transflective 11×11mm display with an 88×88-pixel resolution. The display panel offers access to basic features such as time, date, timer, stopwatch, and a step counter. Also, there is a widget to view the weather.

The activity tracking unit has an accelerometer to help users track activities, including walking, running, biking, and swimming. Similarly, there is an option to find a misplaced phone with the press of a button. The Vivofit 4 also tracks the periods of the users’ inactivity, with a colored move bar filling up to alert the user that they have been stationary for too long.

The tracker is compatible with both iOS and Android. You can sync it with the Garmin Connect app where you can save, plan, and share your activities. With the app, users can customize the tracker with various watch faces, custom faces, and personalized texts. The Garmin Move IQ allows the app to automatically detect the activity and classify activate type on Garmin Connect. It can also start an activity timer automatically.

The Vivofit 4, apart from a long-lasting battery life, has water resistance and is lightweight at a mere 25g. The new design also looks sportier and better built than the Vivofit 3.

“We are sure that Vivofit 4 would revolutionize the fitness industry in India. Although there are several activity trackers in the market, what makes this particular product unique is that under typical use, its battery can last up to a year,” Ali Rizvi, National Sales Manager of Garmin India, said in a statement.
