Malaysia, 16 March 2026 – Garmin Malaysia today introduced new Pokémon Sleep watch faces to power better sleep insights. The watch faces are available now for free in the Connect IQ Store for select smartwatches, including fēnix, Forerunner, Venu and vívoactive range.

Track energy levels throughout the day

• Choose between two watch faces – the “Pokémon Sleep: Snorlax & Friends” features multiple Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu and Snorlax) on Greengrass Isle while the “Pokémon Sleep: I Choose You” allows customers to choose one Pokémon from 48 options.
• The Pokémon poses on both watch faces will change throughout the day – from happy and smiling to tired and sleepy – based on the user’s Body Battery energy levels.
• To help better prepare for bedtime, the watch face’s night mode will switch on an hour and half before the customer’s scheduled sleep time setting in the Garmin Connect app.

Garmin customers can download the Pokémon Sleep watch faces now in the Connect IQ Store. In addition, select Garmin devices are also now compatible with Pokémon Sleep¹ for syncing sleep data with the Pokémon Sleep mobile app.

Pokémon Sleep is intended for entertainment purposes only and is not intended for use in detection, diagnosis, or treatment of any medical condition or disease.

Malaysia, 4 February 2026 – Garmin Malaysia today announced Varia RearVue 820, its most innovative radar tail light that can help cyclists be more aware and visible while riding on the road. This new advanced vehicle tracking detects a vehicle’s size, side-to-side movement and categorizes threat levels as the vehicle approaches from behind with alerts displayed on compatible Garmin cycling computers or the Varia smartphone app.

Powered by more precise radar technology, the Varia RearVue 820 is Garmin’s brightest radar tail light and serves as a brake light when riders slow or stop, improving visibility to motorists and other cyclists. With superior battery life of up to 24 hours in day flash mode and up to 30 hours in radar only mode, cyclists can ride even longer with greater awareness and peace of mind.

“We’re excited to expand our trusted cycling radar technology with Varia RearVue 820. Whether cyclists are commuting by bike to work or training along busy streets, this radar can help them stay more conscious of nearby traffic, especially with new, innovative advanced vehicle tracking alerts, all while the brilliant tail light and brake light can help them be more visible.”

– Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.

Advanced vehicle tracking

When riding with a compatible Edge cycling computer or when paired to the Varia smartphone app, cyclists will receive visual and audible alerts as vehicles are approaching or changing lanes behind them, along with their threat level indicating if the approaching vehicle is a higher threat to the cyclist based on its speed or path of travel. New vehicle size detection also provides visual alerts identifying the size of approaching vehicles as small, medium or large, displayed directly on the Edge cycling computer or in the Varia app.

Greater peace of mind on every ride

• Boasting a wider field of view, the radar can detect vehicle movement several lanes away and alert riders on their compatible Garmin smartwatch, Edge cycling computer or the Varia app.
• Powerful radar technology allows the device to detect vehicles from over 170 metres away.
• With same speed tracking¹, riders are notified about vehicles that are following behind them at the same speed or waiting to pass.
• In addition to vibrating alerts on the wrist, select Garmin smartwatches can also deliver voice alerts for approaching vehicles. This feature is currently available in the Garmin Public Beta program on select smartwatches².

Greater visibility on the road

Ride with greater confidence day and night with Varia RearVue 820’s bright tail light, visible from over 2 kilometres away and offers multiple light mode options, including day flash, night flash, solid mode and peloton mode. Cyclists can also create their own custom light patterns in the Varia app based on the needs of their ride, including brightness level and duration of flash. Adding to that superior visibility, the device detects when the rider is slowing down or stopping, then alerts others on the road with a unique, flashing brake light pattern.

Compact design

Featuring a sleek, modern design, Varia RearVue 820 includes a USB-C port for convenient charging and a new seat post mount that fits securely and cleanly onto almost road or gravel bikes.

Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced a major collaboration with King’s College London during the Garmin Health Summit at the New York Stock Exchange. The agreement identifies Garmin as the exclusive smartwatch provider for the Enhanced Maternal and Baby Results with AI-supported Care and Empowerment (EMBRACE) programme of research, which will collect smartwatch and fitness tracker data from up to 40,000 adult participants – comprised of women and their partners – worldwide¹. This is the largest collaboration to-date between Garmin and a research institution.

“King’s College London – a preeminent university in life sciences and medicine – is at the forefront of integrating wearable technology into its world-class research studies, and the Garmin Health team is proud to have a strategic collaboration with King’s College London and be a part of the EMBRACE programme of research and its other initiatives advancing the role of smartwatches in health monitoring. This is an important milestone for Garmin, underscoring our rigorous standards for data quality, integration and privacy.”

– Jörn Watzke, Senior Director of Garmin Health

To enable personalized and continuous monitoring, each EMBRACE adult participant will be equipped with a Garmin smartwatch or fitness tracker capable of recording key physiological metrics like heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep patterns, physical activity, energy expenditure, Body Battery™ and beat-to-beat intervals. With user consent, data collected through Garmin smartwatches will be utilized by AI in a programme of clinical studies to help address health conditions like gestational diabetes, pregnancy hypertension and perinatal depression, as well as provide ongoing post-natal care recommendations. Using data from Garmin devices, smartphones and self-reporting, an AI-based prediction algorithm will be developed. And with machine learning, it is hoped that the model will identify key digital biomarkers to support personalized interventions and improve health outcomes for mother, her partner and the baby – the ultimate goal of the EMBRACE.

“King’s is committed to utilizing new and evolving technologies – like AI and wearables – to not only further academic research, but also provide critical insights needed to address policy and healthcare challenges around the world. In the case of the EMBRACE programme of research, this means developing data-backed solutions for care during and after pregnancy. We are excited to be collaborating with Garmin on this important research to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies.”

– Josip Car, King’s College London Professor of Population and Digital Health Sciences

The EMBRACE programme of research is made possible by support from philanthropic research organization, Inkfish. Earlier this year, Inkfish made the largest donation by a single donor to date in the University’s history to transform maternal, child and lifelong health through a personalized human and artificial intelligence (AI) intervention.
