Daily fitness and stress tracking
With help from Elevate™ wrist-based heart rate technology, vívoactive 3 Music lets you monitor key aspects of your fitness and stress to show how your body responds under various circumstances. For example, it's able to estimate your VO2 max and fitness age, important indicators of your physical fitness that can often improve over time with regular exercise.
