Garmin

Wrist fitness tracker

Garmin is an American technology company best known for GPS navigation devices and smartwatches.

The brand name often stands in for the product itself: I forgot my Garmin typically means a GPS unit or fitness watch.

Runners and cyclists use Garmin devices to track distance, pace, and heart rate.

My Garmin says I ran six miles.
