Garmin

Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) is a publicly traded Smartwatches & Fitness company founded in 1989 and based in Olathe, United States.

Founded in 1989 by Gary Burrell and Min Kao (its name a portmanteau of their first names), Garmin grew from automotive and aviation GPS into one of the largest makers of GPS multisport and outdoor smartwatches. Its fitness and outdoor segment is anchored by the rugged Fenix series and the running-focused Forerunner line, prized for long battery life, training analytics, and navigation. Garmin is incorporated in Schaffhausen, Switzerland with operational headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, and trades on the NYSE under GRMN. The company has shipped hundreds of millions of devices worldwide across its outdoor, fitness, marine, aviation, and auto segments.

Garmin is the dominant serious-athlete and outdoor smartwatch brand, the primary alternative to Apple Watch for endurance and adventure users.
