LIVE Techno – Garmin is a premium smartwatch or smartwatch brand known for its global positioning system (Global Positioning System/GPS) capabilities through the Forerunner series.
However, initially Garmin was not a company that produced smartwatches and was given that name to make it easy to remember.
So, in 1989, Garmin was officially established as a company concerned with satellite positioning technology. The first company to popularize GPS.
So, it’s not surprising that their smartwatch lineup has an advantage in this technology. Until finally, in 2003 Garmin launched its first GPS smartwatch. So, what does Garmin mean?
According to Country Manager Garmin Indonesia Rian Krisna is the abbreviation of the names of its founders, Gary Burrell and Min H Kao – two electrical engineers.
Garmin started producing smartwatches when a team of Garmin technicians and runner Claudette Stevenson strapped a handheld GPS device commonly used for hiking to her wrist in 2003.
“They never planned a business plan on this one. The first Forerunner series happened because of an accident,” he said in Jakarta, Friday evening, April 14, 2023.
