Wearable brands

Garmin brand profile in the U.S.

Garmin is recognized by a significant number of consumers in the wearables audience, but this awareness doesn't fully convert into usage or popularity.

In terms of lifestyle priorities, Garmin users prioritize having a good time and career advancement more than non-users.

Garmin grabs attention, yet grapples with goodwill

The data reflects that Garmin enjoys a substantial awareness rate in the wearables audience. However, this familiarity doesn't entirely translate into popularity or usage. This suggests that, while the brand's visibility is high, it has not been able to fully capitalize on it to secure a substantial market share or convert awareness into actual sales. Loyalty towards the brand stands at a modest 7 percent among wearables users, indicating room for improvement in customer retention strategies. Finally, the buzz around the brand is relatively low, suggesting a need for more engaging marketing efforts to stir consumer interest and chatter.

Life values

Garmin users are more about having a good time

Garmin users in the U.S. show a slightly stronger inclination towards the importance of having a good time, advancing their career, and making their own decisions compared to the general population and non-users of the brand. This suggests that Garmin users might be more career-oriented and value independence. On the other hand, traditional values like – tadaa – traditions or a happy relationship seem to be less important to Garmin users.
