NEW: Monitor your pregnancy with your Garmin smartwatch

Posted 19 November 2020 by Miriam

Of all smartwatches that Watch.co.uk sells, Garmin has the most functionalities especially for women. Already at the forefront of menstrual cycle monitoring, the brand has now released a unique update with technology specifically for pregnant women to monitor their own health and that of the baby. Through the Garmin Connect ™ app and your Garmin smartwatch, you cannow  record pregnancy-related symptoms, track baby's movements, set customizable reminders, receive exercise and feeding tips, and much more.

What can you do with this new pregnancy function?

When you are pregnant, everything changes in your body. You also often have a lot of questions: "Can I still exercise?" “Do I eat and drink enough?”, Etc. The Pregnancy Tracking Connect IQ ™ app from Garmin can help with this.

Enter your due date and monitor the progress of the pregnancy. Learn how your fitness and performance fluctuate during pregnancy, adjust heart rate alerts, check if you are drinking enough, and pause your training status if necessary. Receive nutritional tips, such as weekly weight gain recommendations. Set your own reminders to drink water, do pelvic floor exercises, etc. Manually track more than 30 symptoms, three types of baby movements, blood glucose levels and more. 

A summary of these data is available for easy sharing during check-ups by your doctor or midwife. Use the Pregnancy Tracking Connect IQ ™ app to easily and discreetly store and keep the information.

With the Contraction Timer Connect IQ app, mothers and their partners can keep track of the duration and frequency of contractions.

 

Why is Garmin so good at making smartwatches?

If you said ten years ago, that you owned a Garmin, you didn't mean a smartwatch, but the navigation system in your car. Because that is the origin of the Garmin company. Garmin was one of the first companies in the world to produce navigation equipment based on GPS. Not only the well-known cases for the car, but especially equipment for professionals such as in maritime shipping. Garmin was also one of the first companies to develop (waterproof) handheld devices. A direct precursor to what we now refer to as wearables. All this experience and continuous innovation come together in our extensive collection of Garmin smartwatches with specialist functions for fitness, water sports and outdoor recreation.

 

Which Garmin smartwatch has access to the Pregnancy Tracking Connect IQ ™ app?

Pregnancy monitoring can be activated in the Garmin Connect app on a compatible smartphone in the menstrual cycle function, so you can easily transition from cycle tracking to pregnancy tracking. The feature is available for many of Garmin's best-selling wearables, including the Venu®, Vívoactive® and Fēnix® through the Connect IQ store.

 Pregnancy monitoring is also available on the Vívomove® series through the Women's Health Tracking widget.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! And keep moving with the help of your Garmin smartwatch.
