Garmin today announced a partnership with YAS Digital Malaysia, a blockchain-based insurtech company and licenced insurance agency of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad, to provide free ACTYVE 3 sports insurance to new and existing Garmin users across Malaysia.
The ACTYVE 3 includes three times the use-on-demand coverage, which protects users and their belongings for up to 24 hours per use. Furthermore, the ACTYVE 3 plan covers medical expenses and personal effects up to RM 2,000.00, as well as accidental death or partial disability caused by a specific activity up to RM 10,000.00. Essentially, the YAS ACTYVE plan includes a wide range of sports such as running, cycling, gym, yoga, water activities, and much more.
Kindly visit YAS’s website for more in-depth information on the types of activities insured.
How to redeem and activate your ACTYVE 3 passes:
Step 1: Download the ‘YAS Malaysia’ app on your smartphone
Step 2: Utilise the promotional code: ‘GARMIN’
Step 3: Tap ‘GO’ to kickstart your protection (before the activity begins) and ‘END’ once it is completed.
Step 4: Enjoy your activity knowing that we’ve got your back.
Users can access third party apps such as Spotify, WhatsApp and more once the protection has been activated within the YAS Malaysia app. Should their smartphone run out of battery in the midst of working out, the protection carries on.

This redemption is only available until the 31st of December 2022 and the plans will last up to 3 months in total from the date of redemption.
“We are committed in helping our customers get the best out of their activities and this initiative with YAS Digital Malaysia is part and parcel of ensuring that our users can focus on their training and having the most fun without worrying about injuries and personal items. 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. Garmin users can now try our coverage plans and have the ability to Track, Analyse and Protect themselves on the go.”
Together, Garmin and Yas Digital Malaysia is looking forward to exploring a technological integration whereby users can opt to automatically have their sports activities insured with just a click on their Garmin device. This would set a new standard and innovate how digital insurances can strengthen the value of global IOT devices.
