Garmin steps up its smartwatch range at CES

The Garmin Epix is due to arrive in February 2015 and will be priced at £420. The smartwatch down from the Epix is the Fenix 3. An update to its line of multi-sport GPS watches, the Fenix 3 comes with a touchscreen (though minus the colour screen and maps of the Epix) and is aimed at triathletes.
It is also possible to hook it up to heart rate sensors, as well as use VO2 max calculations and stroke counts. It is due to launch this month and will be priced from £370.

Pretty much a replacement for the older Forerunner 15, the Vivoactive is an entry-level GPS watch. In addition to the GPS tracking, it brings a range statistics such as step- and calorie-counting. It also has a 50 meter water resistance and the ability to download golf course maps. In addition to the Vivoactive smartwatch, Garmin also unveiled an update to its Vivofit fitness band.

The Vivofit 2 is largely identical to his predecessor. However, it does bring some new audible words as well as a range of new colourful bands. The Vivoactive will be availble in the UK from March and will cost from £200. The Vivofit 2 will also launch in March and will start at £100, with additional colour bands being priced at £20 each.
