“Garmin has leveraged our unparalleled fitness expertise into a
feature that lets active women track their cycle in the same place
they tracked their last run,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice
president of global consumer marketing. “Cycle tracking was
developed for women, by Garmin women – from the engineers, to the
project managers, to the marketing team. In this way we could
ensure that we were authentically addressing a woman’s actual wants
and needs.”
Cycle tracking can be customized based on whether a cycle is
regular, irregular, or transitioning into menopause. Users can
track daily physical and emotional symptoms and even add their own
notes. Cycle tracking brings awareness to fluctuations in things
like sleep, mood, appetite, athletic performance and more. With
regular symptom logging, women can begin to predict how they will
feel at a given point in their cycle in case they want to adjust
their diet or activities. Those with a Connect IQ compatible
device1 also have the option of getting cycle tracking information
and discreet period reminders right on the wrist.
Garmin Health is currently sponsoring a research study at The
University of Kansas Medical Center to examine how wearables, and
the array of biometric data they produce, could potentially assist
with menstrual cycle tracking and ovulation prediction.
Garmin Connect is a free online fitness community that allows
users to analyze training progress, set and track goals, and share
activities with other Garmin Connect users or on social media
sites2. Relive a run, evaluate heart rate, compete on segments and
join online challenges for extra motivation to reach fitness
goals.
