Said Mr. Ivan Ong, General Manager, Aeco Technologies (Garmin Distributor). He continued, “ For example, if you damage your Garmin smartwatch on a hike, your repair or replacement is insured up to RM 2,000.00. You can go right back to doing what you love after”.
Andy Ann, the Co-Founder of YAS added, “We are very excited to launch this partnership with Garmin Malaysia. At its core, Garmin and YAS technology align in our objectives to be an essential part of our users’ daily lives.
