Garmin

Garmin has branched out into various new directions this year, not least the Index Sleep Monitor . Not only that, but the company expanded its high-end smartwatch series with the Fenix 8 Pro . Now, it seems that Garmin is preparing to return to the Vivosmart series after an extended break.

By the time January 1 rolls around, you'll need to roll right into your New Year's resolutions with a clear game plan and the tech necessary to keep you on track. That includes smartwatches, smart rings, smart glasses, and fitness accessories, but also the tech needed for your lifestyle goals related to reading, nutrition, work, and more.

In December 2025, Garmin announced that its G5000H integrated flight deck was selected by the Brazilian Air Force, via Ace Aeronautics, to modernize 24 UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter cockpits, while also unveiling the inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicator with voice, text and photo capabilities for off-grid adventurers.

Early adopters will notice the update focuses heavily on stability. Garmin has fixed a series of unexpected shutdown issues that could occur when launching activities, selecting watch faces or attempting to update software. Messaging reliability has also been tightened, with improved handling of notifications to reduce the chance of missed or misrouted messages.

Quick Read Wear OS fitness trackers remain largely inaccessible for wheelchair users due to sensor and algorithm limitations. Garmin, Apple, Samsung, and Google have made attempts to improve accessibility, but results are still inconsistent. The market for dedicated wheelchair-friendly wearables is small, limiting research and development.

New information has been circulating online that points to an upcoming release of Garmin’s Vivosmart 6, a follow-up to the Vivosmart 5 wearable. Gadgets and Wearables first reported multiple clues from international sites suggesting a new Vivosmart is on the way.

[Translated] The First Garmin Official Store in Aichi Prefecture The first Garmin official store in Aichi Prefecture, "Garmin Store Okazaki," opened on November 4, 2025, at Mitsui Outlet Park Okazaki. It is a specialty store where you can actually experience and choose products from Garmin, a globally known GPS and wearable brand from the United States.

I'm not the first to say it, nor will I be the last, but that has never stopped me before, so here goes: wearable options for people in a wheelchair suck. Some, like Garmin smartwatches, are better than others, but they still don't compare to using one for people without mobility issues.

Garmin will allegedly reenter the budget fitness tracker market after a nearly four-year wait, as the Garmin Vivosmart 6 seems likely to get a Las Vegas reveal in less than a month.

What you need to know Placeholder information about the Garmin Vivosmart 6 has appeared on two regional Garmin websites. An unknown Garmin "Fitness Product" has also appeared in a Korea regulatory filing. The Vivosmart 6 will allegedly feature built-in GPS, whereas the 2022 Vivosmart 5 relied on your phone's GPS.
