Introducing the Garmin® vívoactive® 3 Music: Take Songs and Payments On-The-Go

SINGAPORE – June 28, 2018 — Garmin Singapore today announced vívoactive 3 Music, a GPS smartwatch with integrated music that lets users bring along their favourite tunes to every workout or activity. Featuring Garmin Pay^TM contactless payments and thousands of ways to customise with free watch faces, widgets, data fields and apps through the Garmin Connect IQ^TM store, the vívoactive 3 Music is the perfect accessory for running errands, running a 10K, and everything in between.

“Music can be a huge motivating component of any workout or activity, and we’re excited to give our customers the ability to ditch their phones and listen to their favorite songs right from their wrist,” said Engelhard Al Sundoro, managing director, South East Asia, Garmin. “And with Garmin Pay, you can leave your wallet back at home, too, making it easier than ever to just get up and go.”

Featuring the same fitness, wellness and smart connectivity features first introduced on the vívoactive 3, the vívoactive 3 Music gives users an extra pep in their step with on-device music storage of up to 500 songs, enabling them to transfer music from a computer directly to the watch. Once the music is loaded, simply pair the vívoactive 3 Music with a set of compatible Bluetooth^® headphones (sold separately) and go.

Garmin Pay, a contactless payment solution, means vívoactive 3 Music wearers can leave their cash and credit cards at home and still stop for a coffee, pop in a store, or grab a bite to eat throughout their day. Utilising their Garmin Pay wallet, users have the same rewards and benefits of the physical cards, with the convenience of having them right on the wrist for contactless payment.

With Elevate^TM wrist-based heart rate and over 15 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps including yoga, running, strength training and more, the vívoactive 3 Music is packed with features to keep up with a varied active lifestyle. The always-on Garmin Chroma Display™ is easy to read — even in direct sunlight. Like all of Garmin’s wearables, it is safe for swimming and showering and has a battery life of up to 7 days in smartwatch mode and 5 hours in GPS with music mode.

Customisation has never been easier with thousands of watch faces, widgets, data fields and apps available to download from the Garmin Connect IQ store. Another useful feature is the AccuWeather MinuteCast app, which lets you find out when the rain is going to start.

The redesigned Garmin Connect makes it easier than ever to beat yesterday with colourful activity cards that give users immediate, at-a-glance information to the most important stats. Simply scroll down to compare today’s totals to past results or tap in for more detailed information. Activities and other stats captured by the device are presented in vivid detail with data customised and filtered so that the user is only seeing what is most relevant to his or her goals. Users can connect with friends and family to motivate one another, join challenges, engage in friendly competitions and score colorful new Garmin Connect badges when goals are crushed.

The vívoactive 3 Music comes with a black silicone 20mm quick release industry standard band and has a suggested retail price of S$459. It will be available on retail from 1 July, at Advance Lap, Best Denki, Challenger, Courts, Gain City, Harvey Norman and all Garmin authorised retailers. Accessory bands in different sizes are available for purchase separately.
