As for health and fitness tracking, the smart band supports around 80 activities including running, walking, swimming, and more. There’s also a side button available on the module that can be assigned to an activity.
The fitness band can also track sleep, VO2 max, HRV Status, Pulse Oxygen, stress, skin temperature, and more. There’s also Body Battery energy monitoring available and all the data can be accessed via the Garmin Connect app.
