Body Battery, sleep coach, training readiness and VO2 max — the metrics Garmin watch owners rely on — in a screen-free band with no mandatory membership.
Swap between a wrist band and an upper-arm band, which many users find more comfortable during sleep and more accurate during workouts.
Up to 10 days between charges, longer than the Fitbit Air's 7 days. A full charge takes up to 90 minutes on Garmin's proprietary charger.
Body Battery energy monitoring — the feature Garmin is known for — in a wristband that's thinner than most fitness trackers.
Continuous heart rate variability monitoring and all-day stress tracking give a more complete picture of recovery and readiness than step counts alone.
All data syncs to Garmin Connect, compatible with thousands of third-party apps, coaches, and integrations across the Garmin platform.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$359 vs $409 over 3 years.
10 days vs 7 days battery.
5 sensors each.
21g.
People who want WHOOP-style 24/7 recovery and sleep tracking without a monthly fee, especially existing Garmin users or anyone who wants Garmin's Body Battery and training readiness metrics without wearing a watch.
Full details →Garmin users and health-focused individuals who want Body Battery, HRV, and advanced sleep analytics in a slim, discreet wristband rather than a sports watch. Compatible with both iPhone and Android via Garmin Connect.
