Bluetooth 4.0; USB ANT+
Report #17000-140425-PWd
Product Description
The Garmin Vivofit is a wearable fitness device
that collects and records personal health data
during physical activities like walking or running
as well as while you’re resting or sleeping. It
tracks your progress 24/7 and can operate for
over a year on a single battery charge. All
collected data can be easily transferred via
Bluetooth 4.0 or USB ANT+ to a computer or
compatible mobile device via the Garmin
Connect Mobile app. With the touch of a button,
you can also sync the data with the Garmin
Connect online fitness community for tracking
your progress and getting support in meeting
personal fitness goals. The Vivofit features a
1.15-in. 5-segment LCD display. It runs on a
Nordic Semiconductor nRF51422 ANT/Bluetooth
SoC with ARM Cortex M0 CPU, 16 KB RAM, and
256 KB flash. It’s also water resistant to a
depth of 50 meters and features a real-time
clock
with
alarm
and
3-axis
MEMS
accelerometer. The Garmin Vivofit is powered
by two CR1632 3 V batteries that provide a
year of use time.
