WhenInManila.com was fortunate to strap on their Garmin watch, connect to the satellite, and walk the 2.4 kilometers to the new Garmin Concept store’s launch. I didn’t need a Garmin navigator as the new Garmin Concept store is easily located on level 3 at Glorietta 5.
Garmin is for people who love and live life. Garmin is for people on the move: travelling the world, having more fun in the Philippines, trail walking, mountain climbing, running, swimming, biking, doing triathlons and simply living their lives to the fullest. Garmin takes you places and is one of the first items which seasoned travelers and athletes pack in their bags. I know coz I pack my Garmin for wherever I go, whether it be Davao or Tuscany.
What adventures will your Garmin take you?
Garmin Philippines celebrated life in motion, together with people from the media and Garmin ambassadors, Team Gotta Tri, as it launched its first ever Garmin Concept Store in the Philippines yesterday.

Garmin brings families together. If you are into running, you Gotta Tri a Garmin watch so you know how well you did and how you can improve. Just ask Kuya Kim Atienza who recently used his Garmin watch with his son Jose.
Congratulations Jose for running your 10km in 1:11. His proud Papa also ran a personal best 2:09 for 25km. All tracked and recorded on their Garmin watches.
If you are a little bit vain and a little proud you’ll even see triathletes like Jonah and Frank sharing their Garmin watch results on facebook!

Garmin also brings teams together with Sante Barley Tri Team also all using Garmin products.
