Fitness partners: These trackers can detect activities like running, biking and swimming.

Garmin has released new details on its latest fitness trackers, the vivofit 3 which features new auto activity detection and the vivoactive HR with built-in heart rate technology.

In the third iteration of vivofit, the popular activity tracker takes on Move IQ, a feature that can automatically detect different activities such as running, biking and swimming and continuously monitor users throughout the day.

The tracker is water resistant to 50m, and can be personalized with interchangeable pink, white and blue accessory bands designed by Jonathan Adler.

THe vivoactive HR, meanwhile, is designed to monitor users' heart rates, particularly useful for measuring progress during high intensity workouts such as running and aerobics.

The newest editions of Garmin's activity trackers are to be officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week.

Prices range between US$99 (RM415) and US$249 (RM1,045) and will begin shipping in spring, early summer. —  AFP Relaxnews
