Garmin have announced menstrual cycle tracking , helping women make the connection between their current cycle phase, physical and emotional symptoms, and overall wellbeing.

Through Garmin Connect, users can log their cycle and symptoms and in turn receive predictions for their period and fertile windows.

Throughout the month, users will get educational content on subjects like nutrition and training specific to the current phase of their cycle.

“Cycle tracking was developed for women, by Garmin women – from the engineers to the project managers, to the marketing team. In this way we could ensure that we were authentically addressing a woman’s actual wants and needs.”

Cycle tracking can be customized based on whether a cycle is regular, irregular, or transitioning into menopause. Users can track daily physical and emotional symptoms and even add their own notes.

Cycle tracking brings awareness to fluctuations in things like sleep, mood, appetite, athletic performance and more.

With regular symptom logging, women can begin to predict how they will feel at a given point in their cycle in case they want to adjust their diet or activities.

Those with a Connect IQ compatible device1 also have the option of getting cycle tracking information and discreet period reminders right on the wrist.

Garmin Health is currently sponsoring a research study at The University of Kansas Medical Center to examine how wearables, and the array of biometric data they produce, could potentially assist with menstrual cycle tracking and ovulation prediction.

Garmin Connect is a free online fitness community that allows users to analyze training progress, set and track goals, and share activities with other Garmin Connect users or on social media sites2.

Relive a run, evaluate heart rate, compete on segments and join online challenges for extra motivation to reach fitness goals.

For decades, Garmin has pioneered new GPS navigation and wireless devices and applications that are designed for people who live an active lifestyle.

Garmin serves five primary markets, including automotive, aviation, fitness, marine, and outdoor recreation.
