Garmin
Natural Cycles uses body temperature and other signals to estimate daily fertility status. The app is cleared by the FDA for use as birth control, meaning it can be used to help plan or prevent pregnancy based on those predictions. With Garmin in the mix, users who already wear a compatible watch to bed can see their overnight skin temperature automatically sync to the Natural Cycles app. Supported devices include models across the fēnix 8 series, Enduro 3, tactix 8, Forerunner 570 and 970, and Venu 3, 3S, 4, and X1.
Garmin isn’t the first to tap into Natural Cycles, but it is joining a relatively short list. The app already works with devices from Apple and Oura, both of which offer models with overnight temperature tracking. Garmin’s addition shows the brand’s watches can meet the same clinical bar.It also lands as women’s health becomes a bigger focus across wearables.
Garmin’s Natural Cycles integration is rolling out now across supported regions, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK, and the US.
