Continuous heart rate monitoring
ASUS VivoWatch features exclusive VivoPulse technology, which uses the built-in optical sensor to continuously, accurately, and safely monitor the wearer’s heart rate without an uncomfortable chest strap. With its precise heart rate measurements together with additional data such as the wearer’s gender and age, ASUS VivoWatch helps the wearer exercise at the right intensity for building cardiovascular health.
During exercise, ASUS VivoWatch provides instant and continuous feedback about the effectiveness of the wearer’s workout via an easy-to-read LED indicator. When the wearer reaches their aerobic heart rate zone — the beneficial level of cardiovascular exercise that effectively burns calories, strengthens the heart, and increases stamina — the LED indicator turns green to let them know they are working out at the right intensity. If the level of intensity is too high, causing the wearer’s heart rate to rise to the limit, the LED indicator turns red to warn them of over-exertion.
Activity and sleep tracking
VivoPulse technology also enables ASUS VivoWatch to precisely measure the number of calories the wearer burns each day by continuously measuring the wearer’s heart rate. While the wearer is asleep at night, ASUS VivoWatch measures their total sleep time, heart rate, and amount of motion. In the morning, the wearer can see how long they slept the previous night and how much of it was Comfort Sleep — a measurement of the most restful and rejuvenating sleep that is exclusive to ASUS VivoWatch. Wearers can use this sleep quality information as a guide to adjust their habits and get the rest they need to feel their best.
