Garmin Vivosmart 4

concept development & early DFM

A direct competitor with Fitbit, the Vivosmart line is intended to be a long-lasting, daily wear item. Given that, it was crucial for us to develop an aesthetic that was at home both in the gym and on the streets.

Our design consists of a sharp, refined metal bezel, encasing a glossy black jewel of a screen, supported by a traditionally rugged TPU band. We made sure the buckle wasn’t overlooked and matched its design to the aesthetic of the rest of the device.

Vivosmart 4 hit the shelves in 2018 and is still sold as of 2021.
