Growing interest in health and fitness

More people in Asia have been increasingly paying greater attention to their health and fitness, and this grew even more during the pandemic. The worldwide shipments of wearables last year grew 28.4% from the previous year to hit 444.7 million units, based on IDC’s 2020 Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker reports. 

There has also been a steady rise in indoor aerobic activities, such as yoga, strength training, and indoor cardio compared to the same period last year, according to Garmin Connect data in Asia. In comparison, the proportion of outdoor walking activities has dropped significantly by 17.7% in the same period, likely due to the varying lockdown restrictions brought about by the pandemic. 

Overall wellness with Venu 2 series

The latest Venu 2 series GPS smartwatches add a new fitness age and sleep score to its robust portfolio of all-day health monitoring features that provide users with deeper and more meaningful insights into their overall wellness. A new Health Snapshot helps users log, record, and share important health stats with a healthcare provider. 

The improved interface design allows users to effortlessly track their health and wellness with a comprehensive suite of health monitoring features right on their wrist. Users can find more ways to move with over 25 built-in sports apps with enhanced strength training profile and added muscle map graphics come to life on the bright AMOLED display.
