Both the Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy Fit automatically detect and begin tracking a user's activity, with the former boasting a blood pressure monitoring feature courtesy of a UCSF research partnership.

The companies will be applying ActiGraph's CentrePoint data analytics platform to Garmin's sensor-carrying wearables.

The Finnish company now enjoys support from several tech founders, athletes, and celebrities. 

Smartwatch popularity continues to be on the rise, but traditional fitness trackers aren't going anywhere either, according to new market research from International Data Corporation (IDC).

The wearable space is evolving to the point where the difference between smartwatches and fitness trackers will be one of branding and aesthetics, rather than functionality, according to a new report from Juniper Research.

Garmin has been in the wearable business since at least 2003, but the company has only been in the highly competitive consumer fitness tracker market -- with its VivoSmart and VivoFit lines -- for a little under a year.

It's that time of year again when all the major activity tracking device makers are announcing their next generation devices.

Apple made its long-awaited wearable announcement today at a special event in Cupertino, as well as showing off the iPhone 6 and the new, larger iPhone 6 plus.

Adidas has announced its latest activity tracker, just two weeks after rumors surfaced that the device might be announced sometime this year.

Wellness & Prevention, a division of Johnson & Johnson that works with health plans on behavior change coaching, has released a mobile app, Track Your Health.
