MagyarGarmin’s new heart rate tracking wearable leaks
The Garmin HRM-Fit Heart Rate Monitor has leaked via several retailers. Rumors about the device began last year, with a US patent application showing a chest-based wearable gadget with a different attachment style. The model is named after its design, allowing it to be worn on a sports bra for a more comfortable fit.
The HRM-Fit clips onto your clothing at three anchor points, with Garmin recommending you use it with a medium or high support sports bra and avoiding longline, zip front and light support options. The new model has similar functionality to the older HRM-Dual heart rate strap. For example, the HRM-Fit passes highly accurate real-time heart rate data to compatible devices via ANT+ and Bluetooth. Plus, you can use the gadget to track other workout metrics such as vertical oscillations, ground contact time and stride length.
A CR3032 battery powers the HRM-Fit for up to one year. The gadget is 33.5 cm (~13.2-in) long, weighs 1.9 oz (~53 g) and is water resistant up to 50 ft (~15 m). Customers can now buy the fitness tracking wearable at Running Warehouse in the US for $149.99. The gadget is expected to be officially revealed at CES alongside the recently leaked Lily 2 smartwatch.
