Garmin vivossmart 4

In addition to being a reliable fitness tracker, Garmin’s vivossmart 4 features advanced sleep monitoring – it measures light in addition to deep and REM sleep cycles. Users can look at their sleep stats in Garmin Connect.  It also features a pulse ox sensor to monitor blood oxygen saturation levels during sleep to help users gauge their sleep quality. Users can review the data the next morning in Garmin Connect and let their doctors know if they notice any unusual patterns or drop in SPO2 happening at night. These drops could be affecting their quality of sleep. The Body Battery feature on vívosmart 4 measures the user’s energy levels. Taking into account things like stress, sleep, heart rate, and the prior day’s activities, a low body battery means it is time to rest. A high body battery means you’re primed to be active and work out.  The long 7-day battery life permits users to wear it to sleep rather than having to charge it every night.  Its slim design makes it comfortable to wear all day and while you’re in bed.

PRICE: $129.99
