A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on pulse oximeter tracking decreases battery life. \n• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

Refer to the owner's manual for your phone for more information. \n• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your phone while connecting your headphones to your watch. \n• Pair your headphones with your watch (Connecting Bluetooth Headphones, page 9). \nMy music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected \nWhen using a Venu 2 series watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there is a \ndirect line of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones. \n• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected. \n• If you wear your Venu 2 series watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth antenna is on your left ear. \n• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist. \n• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal strength. \nMy watch is in the wrong language \nYou can change the language selection if you have accidently selected the wrong language on the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select . \n3 Scroll down to the last item in the list, and select it. \n4 Scroll down to the second item in the list, and select it. \n5 Select your language. \n\nTroubleshooting 57\n\nMy watch does not display the correct time \nThe watch updates the time and date when it syncs with your phone or when the watch acquires GPS signals. \nYou should sync your watch to receive the correct time when you change time zones, and to update for daylight \nsaving time. \n1 Hold , and select > System > Time. \n2 Verify the Auto option for Time Source is enabled. \n3 Select Time Sync. \nYour watch automatically starts syncing the time with your phone. \n4 To sync time using satellite signals, select Use GPS, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, \nand wait while the phone acquires satellite signals. \n\nMaximizing Battery Life You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.\n\n• Turn on Battery Saver (Battery Manager, page 49). \n• Stop using the Always On display timeout option, and select a shorter display timeout (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Reduce the display brightness (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Switch from a live watch face to a watch face with a static background (Changing the Watch Face, page 43). \n• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Turning Off the Bluetooth Phone Connection, page 4). \n• Turn off activity tracking (Activity Tracking Settings, page 20). \n• Limit the type of phone notifications (Managing Notifications, page 4). \n• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate, page 16). \n• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 16). \n• Turn off automatic pulse oximeter readings (Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). \nRestarting the Watch \nIf the watch stops responding, you may need to restart it. \nNOTE: Restarting the watch may erase your data or settings. \n1 Hold for 15 seconds. \nThe watch turns off. \n2 Hold for one second to turn on the watch. \nRestoring All Default Settings \nYou can reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values. You should sync your watch with the \nGarmin Connect app to upload your activity data before you reset the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > System > Reset. \n3 Select an option: \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values and delete all user-entered information and activity history, select Delete Data and Reset Settings. NOTE: If you have set up a Garmin Pay wallet, this option deletes the wallet from your watch. If you have music stored on your watch, this option deletes your stored music. \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values, including user profile data, but save activity history and downloaded apps and files, select Reset Default Settings. \n\n58 Troubleshooting\n\nAcquiring Satellite Signals \nThe watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. \n1 Go outdoors to an open area. \nThe front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky. \n2 Wait while the watch locates satellites. \nIt may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals. \n\nImproving GPS Satellite Reception\n\n• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account: \n◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application. \n◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone. \n◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network. While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals. \n• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees. \n• Remain stationary for a few minutes. \n\nActivity Tracking For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nMy step count does not seem accurate If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.\n\n• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only. NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your hands, as steps. \nThe floors climbed amount does not seem accurate \nYour watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is \nequal to 3 m (10 ft.). \n• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs. \n• In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings. \n\n##### Getting More Information\n\n• Go to support.garmin.com for additional manuals, articles, and software updates. \n• Go to buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer for information about optional accessories and replacement parts. \n• Go to www.garmin.com/ataccuracy. This is not a medical device. The pulse oximeter feature is not available in all countries. \n\nTroubleshooting 59\n\n#### Appendix\n\nData Fields \nSome data fields require ANT+ accessories to display data. \n24-Hour Max.: The maximum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \n24-Hour Min.: The minimum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \nAverage Cadence: Cycling.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on pulse oximeter tracking decreases battery life. \n• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

Refer to the owner's manual for your phone for more information. \n• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your phone while connecting your headphones to your watch. \n• Pair your headphones with your watch (Connecting Bluetooth Headphones, page 9). \nMy music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected \nWhen using a Venu 2 series watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there is a \ndirect line of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones. \n• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected. \n• If you wear your Venu 2 series watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth antenna is on your left ear. \n• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist. \n• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal strength. \nMy watch is in the wrong language \nYou can change the language selection if you have accidently selected the wrong language on the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select . \n3 Scroll down to the last item in the list, and select it. \n4 Scroll down to the second item in the list, and select it. \n5 Select your language. \n\nTroubleshooting 57\n\nMy watch does not display the correct time \nThe watch updates the time and date when it syncs with your phone or when the watch acquires GPS signals. \nYou should sync your watch to receive the correct time when you change time zones, and to update for daylight \nsaving time. \n1 Hold , and select > System > Time. \n2 Verify the Auto option for Time Source is enabled. \n3 Select Time Sync. \nYour watch automatically starts syncing the time with your phone. \n4 To sync time using satellite signals, select Use GPS, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, \nand wait while the phone acquires satellite signals. \n\nMaximizing Battery Life You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.\n\n• Turn on Battery Saver (Battery Manager, page 49). \n• Stop using the Always On display timeout option, and select a shorter display timeout (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Reduce the display brightness (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Switch from a live watch face to a watch face with a static background (Changing the Watch Face, page 43). \n• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Turning Off the Bluetooth Phone Connection, page 4). \n• Turn off activity tracking (Activity Tracking Settings, page 20). \n• Limit the type of phone notifications (Managing Notifications, page 4). \n• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate, page 16). \n• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 16). \n• Turn off automatic pulse oximeter readings (Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). \nRestarting the Watch \nIf the watch stops responding, you may need to restart it. \nNOTE: Restarting the watch may erase your data or settings. \n1 Hold for 15 seconds. \nThe watch turns off. \n2 Hold for one second to turn on the watch. \nRestoring All Default Settings \nYou can reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values. You should sync your watch with the \nGarmin Connect app to upload your activity data before you reset the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > System > Reset. \n3 Select an option: \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values and delete all user-entered information and activity history, select Delete Data and Reset Settings. NOTE: If you have set up a Garmin Pay wallet, this option deletes the wallet from your watch. If you have music stored on your watch, this option deletes your stored music. \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values, including user profile data, but save activity history and downloaded apps and files, select Reset Default Settings. \n\n58 Troubleshooting\n\nAcquiring Satellite Signals \nThe watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. \n1 Go outdoors to an open area. \nThe front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky. \n2 Wait while the watch locates satellites. \nIt may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals. \n\nImproving GPS Satellite Reception\n\n• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account: \n◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application. \n◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone. \n◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network. While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals. \n• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees. \n• Remain stationary for a few minutes. \n\nActivity Tracking For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nMy step count does not seem accurate If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.\n\n• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only. NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your hands, as steps. \nThe floors climbed amount does not seem accurate \nYour watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is \nequal to 3 m (10 ft.). \n• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs. \n• In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings. \n\n##### Getting More Information\n\n• Go to support.garmin.com for additional manuals, articles, and software updates. \n• Go to buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer for information about optional accessories and replacement parts. \n• Go to www.garmin.com/ataccuracy. This is not a medical device. The pulse oximeter feature is not available in all countries. \n\nTroubleshooting 59\n\n#### Appendix\n\nData Fields \nSome data fields require ANT+ accessories to display data. \n24-Hour Max.: The maximum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \n24-Hour Min.: The minimum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \nAverage Cadence: Cycling.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on pulse oximeter tracking decreases battery life. \n• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

Refer to the owner's manual for your phone for more information. \n• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your phone while connecting your headphones to your watch. \n• Pair your headphones with your watch (Connecting Bluetooth Headphones, page 9). \nMy music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected \nWhen using a Venu 2 series watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there is a \ndirect line of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones. \n• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected. \n• If you wear your Venu 2 series watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth antenna is on your left ear. \n• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist. \n• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal strength. \nMy watch is in the wrong language \nYou can change the language selection if you have accidently selected the wrong language on the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select . \n3 Scroll down to the last item in the list, and select it. \n4 Scroll down to the second item in the list, and select it. \n5 Select your language. \n\nTroubleshooting 57\n\nMy watch does not display the correct time \nThe watch updates the time and date when it syncs with your phone or when the watch acquires GPS signals. \nYou should sync your watch to receive the correct time when you change time zones, and to update for daylight \nsaving time. \n1 Hold , and select > System > Time. \n2 Verify the Auto option for Time Source is enabled. \n3 Select Time Sync. \nYour watch automatically starts syncing the time with your phone. \n4 To sync time using satellite signals, select Use GPS, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, \nand wait while the phone acquires satellite signals. \n\nMaximizing Battery Life You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.\n\n• Turn on Battery Saver (Battery Manager, page 49). \n• Stop using the Always On display timeout option, and select a shorter display timeout (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Reduce the display brightness (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Switch from a live watch face to a watch face with a static background (Changing the Watch Face, page 43). \n• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Turning Off the Bluetooth Phone Connection, page 4). \n• Turn off activity tracking (Activity Tracking Settings, page 20). \n• Limit the type of phone notifications (Managing Notifications, page 4). \n• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate, page 16). \n• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 16). \n• Turn off automatic pulse oximeter readings (Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). \nRestarting the Watch \nIf the watch stops responding, you may need to restart it. \nNOTE: Restarting the watch may erase your data or settings. \n1 Hold for 15 seconds. \nThe watch turns off. \n2 Hold for one second to turn on the watch. \nRestoring All Default Settings \nYou can reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values. You should sync your watch with the \nGarmin Connect app to upload your activity data before you reset the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > System > Reset. \n3 Select an option: \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values and delete all user-entered information and activity history, select Delete Data and Reset Settings. NOTE: If you have set up a Garmin Pay wallet, this option deletes the wallet from your watch. If you have music stored on your watch, this option deletes your stored music. \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values, including user profile data, but save activity history and downloaded apps and files, select Reset Default Settings. \n\n58 Troubleshooting\n\nAcquiring Satellite Signals \nThe watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. \n1 Go outdoors to an open area. \nThe front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky. \n2 Wait while the watch locates satellites. \nIt may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals. \n\nImproving GPS Satellite Reception\n\n• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account: \n◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application. \n◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone. \n◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network. While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals. \n• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees. \n• Remain stationary for a few minutes. \n\nActivity Tracking For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nMy step count does not seem accurate If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.\n\n• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only. NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your hands, as steps. \nThe floors climbed amount does not seem accurate \nYour watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is \nequal to 3 m (10 ft.). \n• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs. \n• In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings. \n\n##### Getting More Information\n\n• Go to support.garmin.com for additional manuals, articles, and software updates. \n• Go to buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer for information about optional accessories and replacement parts. \n• Go to www.garmin.com/ataccuracy. This is not a medical device. The pulse oximeter feature is not available in all countries. \n\nTroubleshooting 59\n\n#### Appendix\n\nData Fields \nSome data fields require ANT+ accessories to display data. \n24-Hour Max.: The maximum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \n24-Hour Min.: The minimum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \nAverage Cadence: Cycling.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on pulse oximeter tracking decreases battery life. \n• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

Refer to the owner's manual for your phone for more information. \n• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your phone while connecting your headphones to your watch. \n• Pair your headphones with your watch (Connecting Bluetooth Headphones, page 9). \nMy music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected \nWhen using a Venu 2 series watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there is a \ndirect line of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones. \n• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected. \n• If you wear your Venu 2 series watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth antenna is on your left ear. \n• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist. \n• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal strength. \nMy watch is in the wrong language \nYou can change the language selection if you have accidently selected the wrong language on the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select . \n3 Scroll down to the last item in the list, and select it. \n4 Scroll down to the second item in the list, and select it. \n5 Select your language. \n\nTroubleshooting 57\n\nMy watch does not display the correct time \nThe watch updates the time and date when it syncs with your phone or when the watch acquires GPS signals. \nYou should sync your watch to receive the correct time when you change time zones, and to update for daylight \nsaving time. \n1 Hold , and select > System > Time. \n2 Verify the Auto option for Time Source is enabled. \n3 Select Time Sync. \nYour watch automatically starts syncing the time with your phone. \n4 To sync time using satellite signals, select Use GPS, go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, \nand wait while the phone acquires satellite signals. \n\nMaximizing Battery Life You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.\n\n• Turn on Battery Saver (Battery Manager, page 49). \n• Stop using the Always On display timeout option, and select a shorter display timeout (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Reduce the display brightness (Customizing the Display Settings, page 50). \n• Switch from a live watch face to a watch face with a static background (Changing the Watch Face, page 43). \n• Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Turning Off the Bluetooth Phone Connection, page 4). \n• Turn off activity tracking (Activity Tracking Settings, page 20). \n• Limit the type of phone notifications (Managing Notifications, page 4). \n• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate, page 16). \n• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page 16). \n• Turn off automatic pulse oximeter readings (Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). \nRestarting the Watch \nIf the watch stops responding, you may need to restart it. \nNOTE: Restarting the watch may erase your data or settings. \n1 Hold for 15 seconds. \nThe watch turns off. \n2 Hold for one second to turn on the watch. \nRestoring All Default Settings \nYou can reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values. You should sync your watch with the \nGarmin Connect app to upload your activity data before you reset the watch. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > System > Reset. \n3 Select an option: \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values and delete all user-entered information and activity history, select Delete Data and Reset Settings. NOTE: If you have set up a Garmin Pay wallet, this option deletes the wallet from your watch. If you have music stored on your watch, this option deletes your stored music. \n• To reset all of the watch settings to the factory default values, including user profile data, but save activity history and downloaded apps and files, select Reset Default Settings. \n\n58 Troubleshooting\n\nAcquiring Satellite Signals \nThe watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. \n1 Go outdoors to an open area. \nThe front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky. \n2 Wait while the watch locates satellites. \nIt may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals. \n\nImproving GPS Satellite Reception\n\n• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account: \n◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application. \n◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone. \n◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network. While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals. \n• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees. \n• Remain stationary for a few minutes. \n\nActivity Tracking For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nMy step count does not seem accurate If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.\n\n• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower. \n• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only. NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your hands, as steps. \nThe floors climbed amount does not seem accurate \nYour watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is \nequal to 3 m (10 ft.). \n• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs. \n• In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings. \n\n##### Getting More Information\n\n• Go to support.garmin.com for additional manuals, articles, and software updates. \n• Go to buy.garmin.com, or contact your Garmin dealer for information about optional accessories and replacement parts. \n• Go to www.garmin.com/ataccuracy. This is not a medical device. The pulse oximeter feature is not available in all countries. \n\nTroubleshooting 59\n\n#### Appendix\n\nData Fields \nSome data fields require ANT+ accessories to display data. \n24-Hour Max.: The maximum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \n24-Hour Min.: The minimum temperature recorded in the last 24 hours from a compatible temperature sensor. \nAverage Cadence: Cycling.

NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop and hook connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nwhile running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 23). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time\n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | | | <6.1% | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | | | >10.1% | | >308 ms | | |\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nColor Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red \nSymmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor \nPercent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5% \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require wrist-based heart rate or a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score requires a chest heart rate monitor. Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can pair your device with a compatible power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This\n\n4 Heart Rate Features\n\nprojection also presumes you have completed the proper \ntraining for the race. \nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device \nrequires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. \nYour projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, \nand marathon distances. \nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate.\n\n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. \n3 Select an outdoor running profile. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 21), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nActivities Your device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities. When you start an activity, the device displays and records sensor data. You can save activities and share them with the Garmin Connect community. Activities 5\n\nYou can also add Connect IQ ™ activity apps to your device using your Garmin Connect account (Connect IQ Features, page 16).\n\nStarting an Activity \nWhen you start an activity, GPS turns on automatically (if \nrequired).

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device has separate heart rate zones for running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.

NOTIFICATIONS\n|![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/connect.png)\nCONNECT IQ™\n|\n# True Performance Meets True Style\n* Omni-directional EXO™ antenna, with GPS/GLONASS satellite reception, has the ability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone\n* 1.2-inch sunlight-readable Garmin Chroma Display™ with high-strength domed sapphire lens\n* Fitness training features like advanced running dynamics with vertical oscillation and vertical ratio, VO2 max, recovery advisor and more¹\n* Outdoor navigation features like 3-axis compass, altimeter and barometer and TracBack™ feature\n* Connect IQ™ platform compatibility for customized apps, widgets, watch faces and data fields\nfēnix 3 multisport training GPS watch is rugged, capable and smart. With feature sets for fitness training plus feature sets for outdoor navigation, fēnix 3 is ready for any training activity and competition. Access to the[Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) platform allows customization of watch faces and data fields and provides downloadable widgets and apps.\n[![Embedded YouTube video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tHqBdfvfU4E/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqBdfvfU4E)\n \n## Serious Style That Stands Up to the Roughest Conditions\nfēnix 3 Sapphire watches are available in 5 different styles: rose gold-tone with white band, silver with leather band, gray with leather strap, titanium and the classic metal. Each watch features a protective bezel and reinforced housing for extra durability. A sunlight-visible, high-resolution color Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlight lets you access your data in any light. fēnix 3 is [water-rated to 100 meters](http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating) and has a battery life of up to 50 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode, up to 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode (all depending on settings)\n \n## Advanced Fitness Metrics\nfēnix 3 watch is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, fēnix 3 crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a race predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.\n \n## Advanced Running Dynamics and Physiological Metrics\nGo further with your running data and tap into extended physiological metrics and advanced running dynamics¹. When used with a heart rate monitor, fēnix 3 reports the following data:\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_Black_1.jpg)\n* Vertical oscillation and ratio — the degree of 'bounce' in your running motion and the benefit ratio to stride length\n* Ground contact and balance — shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry\n* Cadence — number of steps per minute\n* Stride length — determines a responsive current pace\n* Physiological metrics measure your heart to provide:\n* Stress score: fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levels.\n* Performance condition: After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels.\n* Lactate threshold: Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_swim-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_row-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_par-2.jpg)\n \n## Swim Profile, Ski/Board Mode, Rowing and Golf\nfēnix 3 HR watch isn’t just for running; special feature sets help swim training, skiing, golfing and paddle sports, including stand up paddle boarding and rowing. Borrowing from the Garmin Swim™ device, fēnix 3 tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. You just tell fēnix 3 the size of the pool you’re swimming in and begin your workout. Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. The feature set for paddle sports includes stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke. Golf mode gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any single course you’ve downloaded from Garmin Connect™. You can even use your fēnix 3 as a glove-friendly remote, via ANT+® wireless connectivity, for VIRB® action cameras.\n \n## Navigate Your Way\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_alt.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten path using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass). TracBack feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.\nIt records a GPS track log, creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With fēnix 3, you can create and follow courses as well.\nfēnix 3 is equipped with both ANT+ connectivity and Bluetooth®³ smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.\n \n## Altimeter, Barometer and Compass\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_nav.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant, real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.\nfēnix 3 auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an accurate temperature reading, pair it with our [tempe](https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod107335.html)™ external temperature sensor.\n \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_accuweather.jpg)\n## Custom Apps and Watch Faces\nPersonalize fēnix 3 watch with free downloads from our [Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) store. You can customize your watch face, add data fields and get apps and widgets that provide information at a glance.\n \n## Stay Connected\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_notifications-1.jpg)\nSmart notifications³ let you receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch, even if you're on the trail. fēnix 3 receives the wireless signal from a compatible smartphone³ and lets you know you have a message by displaying the text on its own screen whenever you’re ready to read it.\nOther connected features include automatic upload to Garmin Connect online fitness community, live tracking and social media sharing through our free Garmin Connect and Garmin Connect Mobile™ applications.\n¹Heart rate monitors and HRM-Run, sold separately.\n²When paired with HRM-Run monitor; included in some bundles, also sold separately.\n³Phone must be Bluetooth Smart.

You must have a heart rate monitor to use the features described in this section. fēnix 3: This device is compatible with ANT+\n\n®\n\nheart rate\n\nmonitors. fēnix 3 HR: This device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is also compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitors. You\n\nIntroduction 1\n\ncan view wrist-based heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and ANT+ heart rate data are available, your device uses the ANT+ heart rate data.\n\nWrist-based Heart Rate Wearing the Device and Heart Rate\n\n• Wear the fēnix 3 device above your wrist bone. NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable, and it should not move while running or exercising. \n\nNOTE: The heart rate sensor is located on the back of the device.\n\n• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 2 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. \nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the device. \n• Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the device. \n• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should be snug but comfortable. \n• Wait until the icon is solid before starting your activity. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading before starting your activity. NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors. \n• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout. \nViewing the Heart Rate Widget \nThe widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute \n(bpm), your resting heart rate for today, and a graph of your \nheart rate. \n1 From the clock, select DOWN. \n\n2 Select START to view your average resting heart rate values for the last 7 days.\n\nBroadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices You can broadcast your heart rate data from your fēnix 3 device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge\n\n®\n\ndevice while cycling, or to a VIRB\n\n®\n\naction camera during an activity. \nNOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Broadcast \nHR. \n\n3 Select an option:\n\n• Select In App to broadcast heart rate during timed activities (Starting an Activity, page 6). \n• Select Now to start broadcasting heart rate data now. \n\nThe fēnix 3 device starts broadcasting your heart rate data, and appears. NOTE: You can view only the heart rate widget while broadcasting heart rate data. 4 Pair your fēnix 3 device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device. NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop and hook connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nwhile running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 23). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time\n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | | | <6.1% | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | | | >10.1% | | >308 ms | | |\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nColor Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red \nSymmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor \nPercent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5% \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require wrist-based heart rate or a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score requires a chest heart rate monitor. Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can pair your device with a compatible power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This\n\n4 Heart Rate Features\n\nprojection also presumes you have completed the proper \ntraining for the race. \nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device \nrequires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. \nYour projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, \nand marathon distances. \nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate.\n\n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. \n3 Select an outdoor running profile. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 21), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nActivities Your device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device has separate heart rate zones for running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.

advanced running dynamics with vertical oscillation and vertical ratio, VO2 max, recovery advisor and more¹\n* Outdoor navigation features like 3-axis compass, altimeter and barometer and TracBack™ feature\n* Connect IQ™ platform compatibility for customized apps, widgets, watch faces and data fields\nfēnix 3 multisport training GPS watch is rugged, capable and smart. With feature sets for fitness training plus feature sets for outdoor navigation, fēnix 3 is ready for any training activity and competition. Access to the[Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) platform allows customization of watch faces and data fields and provides downloadable widgets and apps.\n[![Embedded YouTube video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tHqBdfvfU4E/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqBdfvfU4E)\n \n## Serious Style That Stands Up to the Roughest Conditions\nfēnix 3 Sapphire watches are available in 5 different styles: rose gold-tone with white band, silver with leather band, gray with leather strap, titanium and the classic metal. Each watch features a protective bezel and reinforced housing for extra durability. A sunlight-visible, high-resolution color Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlight lets you access your data in any light. fēnix 3 is [water-rated to 100 meters](http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating) and has a battery life of up to 50 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode, up to 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode (all depending on settings)\n \n## Advanced Fitness Metrics\nfēnix 3 watch is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, fēnix 3 crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a race predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.\n \n## Advanced Running Dynamics and Physiological Metrics\nGo further with your running data and tap into extended physiological metrics and advanced running dynamics¹. When used with a heart rate monitor, fēnix 3 reports the following data:\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_Black_1.jpg)\n* Vertical oscillation and ratio — the degree of 'bounce' in your running motion and the benefit ratio to stride length\n* Ground contact and balance — shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry\n* Cadence — number of steps per minute\n* Stride length — determines a responsive current pace\n* Physiological metrics measure your heart to provide:\n* Stress score: fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levels.\n* Performance condition: After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels.\n* Lactate threshold: Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_swim-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_row-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_par-2.jpg)\n \n## Swim Profile, Ski/Board Mode, Rowing and Golf\nfēnix 3 HR watch isn’t just for running; special feature sets help swim training, skiing, golfing and paddle sports, including stand up paddle boarding and rowing. Borrowing from the Garmin Swim™ device, fēnix 3 tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. You just tell fēnix 3 the size of the pool you’re swimming in and begin your workout. Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. The feature set for paddle sports includes stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke. Golf mode gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any single course you’ve downloaded from Garmin Connect™. You can even use your fēnix 3 as a glove-friendly remote, via ANT+® wireless connectivity, for VIRB® action cameras.\n \n## Navigate Your Way\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_alt.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten path using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass). TracBack feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.\nIt records a GPS track log, creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With fēnix 3, you can create and follow courses as well.\nfēnix 3 is equipped with both ANT+ connectivity and Bluetooth®³ smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.\n \n## Altimeter, Barometer and Compass\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_nav.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant, real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.\nfēnix 3 auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an accurate temperature reading, pair it with our [tempe](https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod107335.html)™ external temperature sensor.\n \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_accuweather.jpg)\n## Custom Apps and Watch Faces\nPersonalize fēnix 3 watch with free downloads from our [Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) store.

During rest intervals when out of the water, the heart rate monitor sends your heart rate data to your fēnix device. Your fēnix device automatically downloads stored heart rate data when you save your timed swim activity. Your heart rate monitor must be out of the water, active, and within range of the device (3 m) while data is downloaded. You can review your heart rate data in the device history and on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nData Storage The heart rate monitor can store up to 20 hours of data in a single activity. When the heart rate monitor memory is full, your oldest data is overwritten. You can start a timed activity on your paired fēnix device, and the heart rate monitor records your heart rate data even if you move away from your device. For example, you can record heart rate data during fitness activities or team sports where watches cannot be worn. Your heart rate monitor automatically sends your stored heart rate data to your fēnix device when you save your activity. Your heart rate monitor must be active and within range (3 m) of the device while data is uploaded.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 10). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power \n\nlines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.\n\nCaring for the Heart Rate Monitor\n\nGround contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\nNOTICE A buildup of sweat and salt on the strap can decrease the ability of the heart rate monitor to report accurate data.\n\n• Rinse the heart rate monitor after every use. \n• Hand wash the heart rate monitor after every seven uses or one pool swim, using a tiny amount of mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid. NOTE: Using too much detergent may damage the heart rate monitor. \n• Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or dryer. \n• When drying the heart rate monitor, hang it up or lay it flat. \n\nTraining with Running Dynamics Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Tri accessory, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If your fēnix 5/5S was packaged with the accessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 5/5S is set to display running dynamics data screens. 1 Select an option:\n\n• If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix 5/5S device are already paired, skip to step 7. \n• If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix 5/5S device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold MENU. 3 Select Settings > Activities & Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select the activity settings. 6 Select Data Screens > Add New. 7 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n8 Go for a run (Starting an Activity, page 2). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix device paired with the HRM-Tri accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix device was packaged with the HRM-Tri accessory, the devices are already paired. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking.\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nGo to www.garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics.

For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. \nMost running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. \nYou can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. \nAs with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your \nrunning form. \nVertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data \nThe data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether it is positioned at \nthe chest (HRM-Tri or HRM-Run ™ accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory). \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Vertical Oscillation Range at \nChest \n\nVertical Oscillation Range at Waist\n\nVertical Ratio at Chest Vertical Ratio at Waist Purple >95 <6.4 cm <6.8 cm <6.1% <6.5% Blue 70–95 6.4–8.1 cm 6.8–8.9 cm 6.1–7.4% 6.5–8.3% Green 30–69 8.2–9.7 cm 9.0–10.9 cm 7.5–8.6% 8.4–10.0% Orange 5–29 9.8–11.5 cm 11.0–13.0 cm 8.7–10.1% 10.1–11.9% Red <5 >11.5 cm >13.0 cm >10.1% >11.9%\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Tri accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the running dynamics accessory with your fēnix device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the accessory is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPerformance Measurements These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/physio.\n\nNOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days.\n\nEPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your body to recover after exercise. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Functional threshold power (FTP): The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data and pace.\n\nTurning Off Performance Notifications \nPerformance notifications are turned on by default. Some \nperformance notifications are alerts that appear upon completion \nof your activity. Some performance notifications appear during \nan activity or when you achieve a new performance \nmeasurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Performance \nNotifications. \n3 Select an option. \nDetecting Performance Measurements Automatically \nThe Auto Detection feature is turned on by default. The device \ncan automatically detect your maximum heart rate, and lactate \nthreshold during an activity. When paired with a compatible \npower meter, the device can automatically detect your functional \nthreshold power (FTP) during an activity. \nNOTE: The device detects a maximum heart rate only when \nyour heart rate is higher than the value set in your user profile. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Auto Detection. \n3 Select an option. \n\nSyncing Activities and Performance Measurements \nYou can sync activities and performance measurements from \nother Garmin devices to your fēnix 5/5S device using your \nGarmin Connect account. This allows your device to more \naccurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, \nyou can record a ride with an Edge device, and view your \nactivity details and overall training load on your fēnix 5/5S \ndevice. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > TrueUp. \nWhen you sync your device with your smartphone, recent \nactivities and performance measurements from your other \nGarmin devices appear on your fēnix 5/5S device. \n\nTraining Status Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. You can use your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level. Peaking: Peaking means that you are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained for a short time. Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level. Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume. Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready. Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest. Detraining: Detraining occurs when you are training much less than usual for a week or more, and it is affecting your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement. Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule. No Status: The device needs one or two weeks of training history, including activities with VO2 max. results from running or cycling, to determine your training status. Tips for Getting Your Training Status The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least two VO2 max. measurements per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides during which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. The trail run and indoor run activities do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.\n\n• At least two times per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes. After using the device for one week, your training status should be available. \n• Record all of your fitness activities on this device, or enable the Physio TrueUp ™ feature, allowing your device to learn about your performance (Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page 12). \n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 5/5S device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate. On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, including your fitness age. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same gender and different age. As you exercise, your fitness age can decrease over time.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data is provided by FirstBeat.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If your fēnix 5/5S device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The power meter must be paired with your fēnix 5/5S device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device. If your fēnix 5/5S device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. 12 Heart Rate Features\n\nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements.\n\nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nNOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. \nestimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires \nyou to complete a few activities to learn about your \nperformance. \nThe recovery time appears immediately following an activity. \nThe time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt \nanother hard workout. \nViewing Your Recovery Time \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). \n1 Go for a run. \n2 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \nNOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to \nview the performance widget, and select to scroll through \nthe performance measurements to view your recovery time. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nTraining Load Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 12) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race.\n\nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 2 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.\n\nAbout Training Effect Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases, telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity. Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level. Your EPOC accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training Effect. Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect. It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (from 0.0 to 5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few activities. It takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. You can add Training Effect as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your numbers throughout the activity.

Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training run or yoga.\n\nViewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level \nThis feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before \nyou can view your heart rate variability (HRV) stress level, you \nmust put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device \n(Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If your fēnix 5/5S \ndevice was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are \nalready paired. \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress level at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 If necessary, select > Add > HRV Stress to add the stress \napp to the apps list. \n2 Select Yes to add the app to your list of favorites. \n3 From the watch face, select > HRV Stress > . \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. It is approximately your real-time percentage deviation from your baseline VO2 max. estimate. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 12). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 22). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your lactate\n\nthreshold. The device will automatically detect your lactate \nthreshold during runs at a steady, high intensity with heart rate. \nTIP: The device requires a few runs with a chest heart rate \nmonitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 \nmax. estimate. If you are having trouble getting a lactate \nthreshold estimate, try manually lowering your maximum heart \nrate value. \n1 From the watch face, select . \n2 Select an outdoor running activity. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n3 Hold MENU. \n4 Select Training > Lactate Threshold Guided Test. \n5 Start the timer, and follow the on-screen instructions. \nAfter you begin your run, the device displays each step \nduration, the target, and current heart rate data. A message \nappears when the test is complete. \n6 After you complete the guided test, stop the timer and save \nthe activity. \nIf this is your first lactate threshold estimate, the device \nprompts you to update your heart rate zones based on your \nlactate threshold heart rate. For each additional lactate \nthreshold estimate, the device prompts you to accept or \ndecline the estimate. \n\nGetting Your FTP Estimate Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP) estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 12). The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP. The device will automatically detect your FTP during rides at a steady, high intensity with heart rate and power. 1 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 2 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Your FTP estimate appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones \nMany athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase \ntheir cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A \nheart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five \ncommonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 \naccording to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe device uses your user profile information from the initial \nsetup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set \nseparate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running, \ncycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data \nduring your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also \nset each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate \nmanually.

The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking.\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nGo to www.garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of \nrunning dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Ground Contact Time Range \nPurple >95 >183 spm <218 ms \nBlue 70–95 174–183 spm 218–248 ms \nGreen 30–69 164–173 spm 249–277 ms \nOrange 5–29 153–163 spm 278–308 ms \nRed <5 <153 spm >308 ms \nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nColor Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red \nSymmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor \nPercent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5% \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \n\n| | Purple | | | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <218 ms | | | | | | | | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | | | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 218–248 ms | | | | | | | | | | |\n| | Green | | | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 249–277 ms | | | | | | | | | | |\n| | Orange | | | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 278–308 ms | | | | | | | | | | |\n| | Red | | | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >308 ms | | | | | | | | | | |\n\n| Color Zone | | | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | Orange | Red | | | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | Fair | Poor | | | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | 25% | 5% | | | | |\n\n10 Heart Rate Features\n\nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with \ncertain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. \nMost running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. \nYou can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. \nAs with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your \nrunning form. \nVertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data \nThe data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether it is positioned at \nthe chest (HRM-Tri or HRM-Run ™ accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory). \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Vertical Oscillation Range at \nChest \n\nVertical Oscillation Range at Waist\n\nVertical Ratio at Chest Vertical Ratio at Waist Purple >95 <6.4 cm <6.8 cm <6.1% <6.5% Blue 70–95 6.4–8.1 cm 6.8–8.9 cm 6.1–7.4% 6.5–8.3% Green 30–69 8.2–9.7 cm 9.0–10.9 cm 7.5–8.6% 8.4–10.0% Orange 5–29 9.8–11.5 cm 11.0–13.0 cm 8.7–10.1% 10.1–11.9% Red <5 >11.5 cm >13.0 cm >10.1% >11.9%\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Tri accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the running dynamics accessory with your fēnix device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the accessory is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPerformance Measurements These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/physio.\n\nNOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days.\n\nEPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your body to recover after exercise. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Functional threshold power (FTP): The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data and pace.\n\nTurning Off Performance Notifications \nPerformance notifications are turned on by default. Some \nperformance notifications are alerts that appear upon completion \nof your activity. Some performance notifications appear during \nan activity or when you achieve a new performance \nmeasurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Performance \nNotifications. \n3 Select an option. \nDetecting Performance Measurements Automatically \nThe Auto Detection feature is turned on by default. The device \ncan automatically detect your maximum heart rate, and lactate \nthreshold during an activity. When paired with a compatible \npower meter, the device can automatically detect your functional \nthreshold power (FTP) during an activity. \nNOTE: The device detects a maximum heart rate only when \nyour heart rate is higher than the value set in your user profile. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Auto Detection. \n3 Select an option. \n\nSyncing Activities and Performance Measurements \nYou can sync activities and performance measurements from \nother Garmin devices to your fēnix 5/5S device using your \nGarmin Connect account. This allows your device to more \naccurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, \nyou can record a ride with an Edge device, and view your \nactivity details and overall training load on your fēnix 5/5S \ndevice. \n1 Hold MENU. \n2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > TrueUp. \nWhen you sync your device with your smartphone, recent \nactivities and performance measurements from your other \nGarmin devices appear on your fēnix 5/5S device. \n\nTraining Status Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. You can use your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level. Peaking: Peaking means that you are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained for a short time. Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level. Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume. Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready. Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest. Detraining: Detraining occurs when you are training much less than usual for a week or more, and it is affecting your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement. Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule. No Status: The device needs one or two weeks of training history, including activities with VO2 max. results from running or cycling, to determine your training status. Tips for Getting Your Training Status The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least two VO2 max. measurements per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides during which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. The trail run and indoor run activities do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.\n\n• At least two times per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes. After using the device for one week, your training status should be available. \n• Record all of your fitness activities on this device, or enable the Physio TrueUp ™ feature, allowing your device to learn about your performance (Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page 12). \n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 5/5S device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate. On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, including your fitness age. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same gender and different age. As you exercise, your fitness age can decrease over time.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data is provided by FirstBeat.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If your fēnix 5/5S device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The power meter must be paired with your fēnix 5/5S device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device. If your fēnix 5/5S device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. 12 Heart Rate Features\n\nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements.\n\nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nNOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. \nestimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires \nyou to complete a few activities to learn about your \nperformance. \nThe recovery time appears immediately following an activity. \nThe time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt \nanother hard workout. \nViewing Your Recovery Time \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). \n1 Go for a run. \n2 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \nNOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to \nview the performance widget, and select to scroll through \nthe performance measurements to view your recovery time. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nTraining Load Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 15), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 12) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race.\n\nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 2 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.\n\nAbout Training Effect Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases, telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity. Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level. Your EPOC accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training Effect. Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect. It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (from 0.0 to 5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few activities. It takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. You can add Training Effect as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your numbers throughout the activity.

Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training run or yoga.\n\nViewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level \nThis feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before \nyou can view your heart rate variability (HRV) stress level, you \nmust put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device \n(Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). If your fēnix 5/5S \ndevice was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are \nalready paired. \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress level at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 If necessary, select > Add > HRV Stress to add the stress \napp to the apps list. \n2 Select Yes to add the app to your list of favorites. \n3 From the watch face, select > HRV Stress > . \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. It is approximately your real-time percentage deviation from your baseline VO2 max. estimate. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 12). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 22). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27). The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your lactate\n\nthreshold. The device will automatically detect your lactate \nthreshold during runs at a steady, high intensity with heart rate. \nTIP: The device requires a few runs with a chest heart rate \nmonitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 \nmax. estimate. If you are having trouble getting a lactate \nthreshold estimate, try manually lowering your maximum heart \nrate value. \n1 From the watch face, select . \n2 Select an outdoor running activity. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n3 Hold MENU. \n4 Select Training > Lactate Threshold Guided Test. \n5 Start the timer, and follow the on-screen instructions. \nAfter you begin your run, the device displays each step \nduration, the target, and current heart rate data. A message \nappears when the test is complete. \n6 After you complete the guided test, stop the timer and save \nthe activity. \nIf this is your first lactate threshold estimate, the device \nprompts you to update your heart rate zones based on your \nlactate threshold heart rate. For each additional lactate \nthreshold estimate, the device prompts you to accept or \ndecline the estimate. \n\nGetting Your FTP Estimate Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP) estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 27), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 12). The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP. The device will automatically detect your FTP during rides at a steady, high intensity with heart rate and power. 1 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget. 2 Select to scroll through the performance measurements. Your FTP estimate appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones \nMany athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase \ntheir cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A \nheart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five \ncommonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 \naccording to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe device uses your user profile information from the initial \nsetup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set \nseparate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running, \ncycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data \nduring your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also \nset each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate \nmanually.

My diving apps are available at www.diveiq.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt-yz88q4LE&t=41s This video shows depth being computed using three different methods for obtaining pressure on Garmin devices.1) Raw ambient pressure: As measured by the pressure sensor.2) Ambient pressure: A smoothed, two-stage filtered pressure provided by Garmin which reduces noise and instantaneous variation.3) Altitude pressure: Pressure derived from the altitude .Many Garmin watches have a pressure sensor that Garmin uses internally to compute altitude. This sensor's data was only available internally to Garmin software and not made available to third party developers. Third party apps such as DiveIQ's Dive Computer and Freedive apps were forced to convert altitude back to pressure. This reverse conversion works pretty accurately but introduces some lag (delay) because it takes a few seconds for pressure changes to reflect on the altitude. Applications deriving pressure from altitude also need to be capable of coping with altitude decalibration because the altitude measurement provided by Garmin does not solely depend on pressure. The altitude also depends on multiple user settings that Garmin uses to determine if changes in pressure are due to changes in weather or changes in altitude. GPS measurements and manual calibrations are also taken into account. Garmin now provides two pressure measurements. A \"raw ambient pressure\" value taken directly from the sensor and an \"ambient pressure\" value smoothed by a two-stage filter that reduces noise and instantaneous variation. This video shows shows the response time and accuracy when using each pressure measurement method to compute depth in meters.\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n2.

If you look at altitude (after using GPS for something, is it correct?\n\nWhen you hear the pressure on a weather report, that's often the sea level pressure as the altitude will result in different pressurs with ambien. So there is also meanSeaLevelPressure and that too is available:\n\n### var meanSeaLevelPressure as Lang.Float or Null\n\nThe mean sea level barometric pressure in Pascals (Pa).\n\nThis returns barometric pressure calibrated to sea level. Since pressure varies dues to several factors, a GPS-based altitude must first be obtained, then the ambient (local) pressure is measured by the pressure sensor before conversion to a calibrated barometric pressure value.\n\nI' not sure Garmin had this (arguably interesting idea) in their mind when they released the pressure data in the sdk. It's mainly for calculating altitude changes during activity or counting how many floors you climbed. It'll be interesting to see how accurate it'll work for calculating water depth. Though there's the Descent watch that seems to be marketed towards divers.\n\nDevices can limit the data under water so it can't be used for diving, Only Descent devices have been certified for that. In app approval exceptions it specifically talks about diving apps.\n\nApps designed for scuba diving, free diving, skydiving, base-jumping, and extreme flight sports will not be listed on the app store for the following reasons:\n\n- The diving features available on the Descent Mk1 are the only Garmin features intended for underwater diving use.\n- The altimeter/barometer feature available in some Garmin devices is intended to be used for general altitude reference only, and is not intended to be used for extreme sports such as skydiving, base-jumping or other activities that require the use of equipment that is designed and intended for such use.

This is the only Garmin feature that is intended for use while skydiving.\n\nThat's seems to give accurate results now with the code below just putting in an offset. It would be good to just be able to read barometer after correction/calibration like the suunto watches. Yes i appreciate you should not rely on this data for any critical activities. I had looked at the G1 and had my finger was on the bin button but could not justify it for a swimming pool and the occasional snorkelling.

As part of that, we're trying to find clear documentation of what sensor data is available, and what format it is in. For example, to calculate heart rate variability, do we get the raw PPG files, or has it been processed into timecodes for heart beats? So far, we're having trouble locating that documentation for devices.

Also, does the SDK sample code have specs for different watches?\n\nYou may want to check this section of the API documentation:\n\nThis may be of interest: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Sensor/Info.html\n\n(I believe most or all of this sensor data has already been preprocessed/filtered/calibrated -- i.e. it's not \"raw sensor data\"):\n\nThe Sensor.Info class contains all of the information provided by enabled sensors.\n\nSensor.Info can be retrieved on every call of onUpdate() or it can be obtained on demand. accelThe accelerometer reading of the x, y, and z axes as an Array of Number values in millig-units.\n\naltitudeThe altitude above mean sea level in meters (m).\n\ncadenceThe cadence in revolutions per minute (rpm).\n\nheadingThe true north referenced heading in radians.\n\nheartRateThe heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).\n\nmagThe magnetometer reading of the x, y, and z axes as an Array of Number values in milliGauss (mG).\n\noxygenSaturationThe current oxygen saturation in percent (%).\n\npowerThe power in Watts (W).\n\npressureThe barometric pressure in Pascals (Pa).\n\nspeedThe speed in meters per second (m/s).\n\ntemperatureThe temperature in degrees Celsius (C).\n\nAnd this:\n\nA class to encapsulate all high-frequency sensor data that can be retrieved.\n\npitchThe Array of pitch values as Floats in degrees.\n\npowerThe Array of vector power values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nrollThe Array of roll values as Floats in degrees.\n\nxThe Array of x axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nyThe Array of y axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nzThe Array of z axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nvar heartBeatIntervals ⇒ Toybox.Lang.Array\n\nThe most recent beat-to-beat interval data as an Array of Number objects in milliseconds (ms).\n\nVery helpful!\n\nAre you aware of a list of data available by device? Or should we just assume, for example, that devices with O2 sensors have the oxygenSaturation variable available, etc.?\n\nOr should we just assume, for example, that devices with O2 sensors have the oxygenSaturation variable available, etc.?\n\nThat's probably a safe bet.\n\nIf you want to determine that at run-time, you can use the has operator:\n\nvar info = Sensor.Info.getInfo();\n\nif (info has :oxygenSaturation) {\n\n// ...}\n\nIf you want to know the available sensors per-device (sort of), you can look in the CIQ Devices folder and examine simulator.json for each device.\n\n1) Open devices folder:\n\nWindows: %appdata%\\garmin\\connectiq\\devices\n\nMac/Linux (unconfirmed): ~/garmin/connectiq/devices\n\n2) Open {DEVICENAME}\\simulator.json and navigate to sensorHistory (at the top level). e.g. For venu:\n\n\"sensorHistory\": [ { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"heartrate\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"elevation\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"temperature\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"pressure\" }, { \"interval\": 3600, \"size\": 168, \"type\": \"pulseox\" } ]\n\nIf you wanted to collect this information for all devices in a single file, you could use jq to aggregate, filter and reshape the data.\n\nWith o2, readings are only taken something like every 15 minutes, and history is saved every hour, but last I checked, that's also saved from oldest to newest, so backwards from what you might expect.\n\nAlso, this is only available on watches running CIQ 3.2 or higher.\n\nGood to know.\n\nThanks again for the help! Does the watch provide respiratory rate data? Generally, we would calculate that from the raw PPG. If I go to my Garmin Connect webportal, I can see my respiratory rate over the course of a workout. That leads me to think RR should be available.\n\nNot available with CIQ. There's data used or generated by first beat that's not exposed in CIQ.\n\nAs said before, look at the data in Sensors. That's what you have access to,. And then only in some app types, and possibly only if those sensors are enabled. For example, OHR, by default you see the less accurate 24/7 data, but when enabled, you see better data, and in this case, it could also be data from an external HRM.\n\nTemperature in most cases is only available with an external Tempe sensor.\n\nIf you look at the Sensor sample in the SDK, you see a simple app that accesses HR and graphs it.\n\n5. finfinack/depth\n URL: https://github.com/finfinack/depth\n # finfinack/depth\n\nData field for Garmin watches (Tactix, Fenix, Epix) to display water depth.\n\n- Stars: 1\n- Forks: 0\n- Watchers: 1\n- Open issues: 0\n- License: Apache License 2.0\n- Default branch: main\n- Created: 2024-06-14T19:01:18Z\n\n## Languages\n\n- Monkey C\n\n## Topics\n\n- fenix\n- garmin-connect-iq\n- garmin-sdk\n- garmin-watch\n- measurement\n- tactix\n- water-depth\n\n## Top Contributors\n\n- finfinack (8 contributions)\n\n---\n\n## README\n\n# Depth\n\nThis is a data field for Garmin watches (Fenix, Epix, Tactix) displaying the current water depth.\n\nSee https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/ for some information around how to set up the Garmin SDK, compile and run the app. The following is mostly a copy of one of the [examples on the Garmin Connect IQ developer page](https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/your-first-app/#yourfirstconnectiqapp).\n\n## Running the Program\n\nYou should be able to run the app from Visual Studio Code in an Emulator:\n\n- Before running the program, make sure you have one of your source files (in the `source` folder with the `.mc` extension) open and selected in the editor.\n- Select `Run > Run Without Debugging` (`Command + F5` on Mac, `Ctrl + F5` on other platforms)\n- You will be prompted with the list of products your application supports.

My diving apps are available at www.diveiq.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt-yz88q4LE&t=41s This video shows depth being computed using three different methods for obtaining pressure on Garmin devices.1) Raw ambient pressure: As measured by the pressure sensor.2) Ambient pressure: A smoothed, two-stage filtered pressure provided by Garmin which reduces noise and instantaneous variation.3) Altitude pressure: Pressure derived from the altitude .Many Garmin watches have a pressure sensor that Garmin uses internally to compute altitude. This sensor's data was only available internally to Garmin software and not made available to third party developers. Third party apps such as DiveIQ's Dive Computer and Freedive apps were forced to convert altitude back to pressure. This reverse conversion works pretty accurately but introduces some lag (delay) because it takes a few seconds for pressure changes to reflect on the altitude. Applications deriving pressure from altitude also need to be capable of coping with altitude decalibration because the altitude measurement provided by Garmin does not solely depend on pressure. The altitude also depends on multiple user settings that Garmin uses to determine if changes in pressure are due to changes in weather or changes in altitude. GPS measurements and manual calibrations are also taken into account. Garmin now provides two pressure measurements. A \"raw ambient pressure\" value taken directly from the sensor and an \"ambient pressure\" value smoothed by a two-stage filter that reduces noise and instantaneous variation. This video shows shows the response time and accuracy when using each pressure measurement method to compute depth in meters.\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel"},{"title":"Freediving Depth Data Field - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums","url":"https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/4028/freediving-depth-data-field","content":"Freediving Depth Data Field - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- Replies 12 replies\n- Subscribers 19 subscribers\n- Views 5216 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\nRelated\n\n# Freediving Depth Data Field\n\nRecently I noticed that the very useful freediving data field called \"Depth\" has disappeared from the Connect IQ Store.

If you look at altitude (after using GPS for something, is it correct?\n\nWhen you hear the pressure on a weather report, that's often the sea level pressure as the altitude will result in different pressurs with ambien. So there is also meanSeaLevelPressure and that too is available:\n\n### var meanSeaLevelPressure as Lang.Float or Null\n\nThe mean sea level barometric pressure in Pascals (Pa).\n\nThis returns barometric pressure calibrated to sea level. Since pressure varies dues to several factors, a GPS-based altitude must first be obtained, then the ambient (local) pressure is measured by the pressure sensor before conversion to a calibrated barometric pressure value.\n\nI' not sure Garmin had this (arguably interesting idea) in their mind when they released the pressure data in the sdk. It's mainly for calculating altitude changes during activity or counting how many floors you climbed. It'll be interesting to see how accurate it'll work for calculating water depth. Though there's the Descent watch that seems to be marketed towards divers.\n\nDevices can limit the data under water so it can't be used for diving, Only Descent devices have been certified for that. In app approval exceptions it specifically talks about diving apps.\n\nApps designed for scuba diving, free diving, skydiving, base-jumping, and extreme flight sports will not be listed on the app store for the following reasons:\n\n- The diving features available on the Descent Mk1 are the only Garmin features intended for underwater diving use.\n- The altimeter/barometer feature available in some Garmin devices is intended to be used for general altitude reference only, and is not intended to be used for extreme sports such as skydiving, base-jumping or other activities that require the use of equipment that is designed and intended for such use.

This is the only Garmin feature that is intended for use while skydiving.\n\nThat's seems to give accurate results now with the code below just putting in an offset. It would be good to just be able to read barometer after correction/calibration like the suunto watches. Yes i appreciate you should not rely on this data for any critical activities. I had looked at the G1 and had my finger was on the bin button but could not justify it for a swimming pool and the occasional snorkelling.

Also, does the SDK sample code have specs for different watches?\n\nYou may want to check this section of the API documentation:\n\nThis may be of interest: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Sensor/Info.html\n\n(I believe most or all of this sensor data has already been preprocessed/filtered/calibrated -- i.e. it's not \"raw sensor data\"):\n\nThe Sensor.Info class contains all of the information provided by enabled sensors.\n\nSensor.Info can be retrieved on every call of onUpdate() or it can be obtained on demand. accelThe accelerometer reading of the x, y, and z axes as an Array of Number values in millig-units.\n\naltitudeThe altitude above mean sea level in meters (m).\n\ncadenceThe cadence in revolutions per minute (rpm).\n\nheadingThe true north referenced heading in radians.\n\nheartRateThe heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).\n\nmagThe magnetometer reading of the x, y, and z axes as an Array of Number values in milliGauss (mG).\n\noxygenSaturationThe current oxygen saturation in percent (%).\n\npowerThe power in Watts (W).\n\npressureThe barometric pressure in Pascals (Pa).\n\nspeedThe speed in meters per second (m/s).\n\ntemperatureThe temperature in degrees Celsius (C).\n\nAnd this:\n\nA class to encapsulate all high-frequency sensor data that can be retrieved.\n\npitchThe Array of pitch values as Floats in degrees.\n\npowerThe Array of vector power values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nrollThe Array of roll values as Floats in degrees.\n\nxThe Array of x axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nyThe Array of y axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nzThe Array of z axis values as Numbers in millig-units.\n\nvar heartBeatIntervals ⇒ Toybox.Lang.Array\n\nThe most recent beat-to-beat interval data as an Array of Number objects in milliseconds (ms).\n\nVery helpful!\n\nAre you aware of a list of data available by device? Or should we just assume, for example, that devices with O2 sensors have the oxygenSaturation variable available, etc.?\n\nOr should we just assume, for example, that devices with O2 sensors have the oxygenSaturation variable available, etc.?\n\nThat's probably a safe bet.\n\nIf you want to determine that at run-time, you can use the has operator:\n\nvar info = Sensor.Info.getInfo();\n\nif (info has :oxygenSaturation) {\n\n// ...}\n\nIf you want to know the available sensors per-device (sort of), you can look in the CIQ Devices folder and examine simulator.json for each device.\n\n1) Open devices folder:\n\nWindows: %appdata%\\garmin\\connectiq\\devices\n\nMac/Linux (unconfirmed): ~/garmin/connectiq/devices\n\n2) Open {DEVICENAME}\\simulator.json and navigate to sensorHistory (at the top level). e.g. For venu:\n\n\"sensorHistory\": [ { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"heartrate\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"elevation\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"temperature\" }, { \"interval\": 120, \"size\": 180, \"type\": \"pressure\" }, { \"interval\": 3600, \"size\": 168, \"type\": \"pulseox\" } ]\n\nIf you wanted to collect this information for all devices in a single file, you could use jq to aggregate, filter and reshape the data.\n\nWith o2, readings are only taken something like every 15 minutes, and history is saved every hour, but last I checked, that's also saved from oldest to newest, so backwards from what you might expect.\n\nAlso, this is only available on watches running CIQ 3.2 or higher.\n\nGood to know.\n\nThanks again for the help! Does the watch provide respiratory rate data? Generally, we would calculate that from the raw PPG. If I go to my Garmin Connect webportal, I can see my respiratory rate over the course of a workout. That leads me to think RR should be available.\n\nNot available with CIQ. There's data used or generated by first beat that's not exposed in CIQ.\n\nAs said before, look at the data in Sensors. That's what you have access to,. And then only in some app types, and possibly only if those sensors are enabled. For example, OHR, by default you see the less accurate 24/7 data, but when enabled, you see better data, and in this case, it could also be data from an external HRM.\n\nTemperature in most cases is only available with an external Tempe sensor.\n\nIf you look at the Sensor sample in the SDK, you see a simple app that accesses HR and graphs it."},{"title":"finfinack/depth","url":"https://github.com/finfinack/depth","content":"# finfinack/depth\n\nData field for Garmin watches (Tactix, Fenix, Epix) to display water depth.\n\n- Stars: 1\n- Forks: 0\n- Watchers: 1\n- Open issues: 0\n- License: Apache License 2.0\n- Default branch: main\n- Created: 2024-06-14T19:01:18Z\n\n## Languages\n\n- Monkey C\n\n## Topics\n\n- fenix\n- garmin-connect-iq\n- garmin-sdk\n- garmin-watch\n- measurement\n- tactix\n- water-depth\n\n## Top Contributors\n\n- finfinack (8 contributions)\n\n---\n\n## README\n\n# Depth\n\nThis is a data field for Garmin watches (Fenix, Epix, Tactix) displaying the current water depth.\n\nSee https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/ for some information around how to set up the Garmin SDK, compile and run the app. The following is mostly a copy of one of the [examples on the Garmin Connect IQ developer page](https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/your-first-app/#yourfirstconnectiqapp).\n\n## Running the Program\n\nYou should be able to run the app from Visual Studio Code in an Emulator:\n\n- Before running the program, make sure you have one of your source files (in the `source` folder with the `.mc` extension) open and selected in the editor.\n- Select `Run > Run Without Debugging` (`Command + F5` on Mac, `Ctrl + F5` on other platforms)\n- You will be prompted with the list of products your application supports.

Let me summarize what I found:\n\n**Garmin Venu 2:**\n- Water rating: 5 ATM (withstands pressure equivalent to 50m depth)\n- However, this is \"Swim\" rating, not diving. 5 ATM means suitable for swimming, not diving.\n- Has wrist-based heart rate, barometric altimeter, GPS, etc.\n- Pool swimming only (not for diving)\n- Cannot record wrist heart rate while swimming\n- AMOLED touchscreen\n- Connect IQ support\n\n**Garmin Fenix 3:**\n- Water rating: 10 ATM (100m depth)\n- Still only rated for surface swimming, not diving. Manual explicitly states: \"The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.\"\n- Cannot record heart rate data while swimming\n- Has barometric altimeter, GPS, etc.\n- Connect IQ support\n\n**Garmin Fenix 5:**\n- Water rating: 10 ATM (100m depth)\n- Also intended for surface swimming only, not diving\n- Cannot record wrist heart rate while swimming\n- HRM-Tri/HRM-Swim accessories can record heart rate underwater\n- Has barometric altimeter, GPS, etc.\n- Connect IQ support\n- Raw pressure can be read on Fenix 5\n\n**Important Connect IQ restriction:**\nGarmin has app approval exceptions: apps designed for scuba diving, free diving, skydiving, base-jumping will not be listed on the app store. The diving features on Descent Mk1 (and later Descent watches) are the only Garmin features intended for underwater diving use. The altimeter/barometer is intended for general altitude reference only, not for diving.\n\nHowever, you can still build and sideload apps for personal use (not publish to store). The Fenix 5 supports reading raw pressure, which can be converted to depth. The Venu 2 has pressure sensor but uses altitude (calibrated pressure). \n\nFor underwater heart rate: wrist-based OHR doesn't work underwater reliably. Need chest strap HRM-Swim or HRM-Tri (ANT+) that stores data and downloads to watch after surfacing.\n\nDepth measurement: Use barometric pressure sensor. Formula: depth = (P - P_surface) / (rho * g). For fresh water: ~100 Pa per meter. For salt water: ~102.7 Pa per meter. Activity.Info has ambientPressure in newer SDKs. For older devices, you might need to derive from altitude or use Sensor.Info.pressure.\n\nStatic breathhold: This is a timer function, easy to implement without sensors.\n\nDive time: Use Activity timer.\n\nDistance in length: For depth - use pressure. For horizontal length - GPS doesn't work underwater. Could use accelerometer or require manual input, or use it only for surface swimming / snorkeling.\n\nUploading app:\n- For personal sideload: Build PRG in VS Code with Monkey C extension, copy to /GARMIN/APPS/ folder on watch via USB. Need SDK signing for newer firmware.\n- For store: Must pass Garmin approval; diving apps won't be approved for non-Descent devices.\n- For Fenix 3: older SDK 2.x/3.x, .prg to /garmin/apps directory.\n\nNow I need to write a structured implementation plan. The user asked to use \"codebase context as needed\" - but this isn't really a codebase project, it's a hardware/app development plan. I should use the research findings as constraints.\n\nI should also consider whether to ask clarifying questions. The request is fairly broad but I have enough to make a plan. However, there are some open questions I should raise at the end.\n\nLet me structure:\n\n1. **Goal**: Create a personal/sideloaded Garmin Connect IQ app for freediving that tracks dive time, depth (from barometer), heart rate (via chest strap), and includes a static breath-hold timer, deployable on the user's existing Garmin watch.\n\n2. **Constraints**:\n - Venu 2: 5 ATM (50m pressure equivalent), not rated for diving; no raw pressure in older SDK? Actually newer SDK has ambientPressure in Activity.Info.\n - Fenix 3: 10 ATM (100m), surface swimming only per warranty.\n - Fenix 5: 10 ATM (100m), raw pressure readable, best candidate but still not dive-rated.\n - Garmin bans diving apps in Connect IQ store; app must be sideloaded for personal use only.\n - Wrist HR does not work underwater reliably; need HRM-Swim/HRM-Tri chest strap for underwater HR.\n - GPS doesn't work underwater; horizontal distance only surface/snorkel, not dive.\n - Pressure-to-depth requires calibration and fresh/salt water density compensation.\n - Battery life: Venu 2 GPS up to 24h, Fenix 5 up to 24h, Fenix 3 up to 20h.\n\n3. **Approach**:\n - Build a Connect IQ \"app\" (not data field) in Monkey C using VS Code + SDK.\n - Target Fenix 5 as primary device (raw pressure available); Fenix 3 and Venu 2 as secondary via altitude/pressure derivation.\n - Read barometric pressure each tick, compute depth relative to surface pressure.\n - Pair with HRM-Swim or HRM-Tri for underwater heart rate (stores data underwater, downloads at surface).\n - Implement breath-hold timer mode with countdown/vibrations.\n - Log custom FIT fields for depth and dive events.\n - Sideload via USB as personal app; do not submit to store.\n\n4. **Steps** (numbered, actionable, verifiable):\n 1. Choose target device and SDK version.\n 2. Set up Connect IQ SDK and simulator.\n 3. Create a new Connect IQ app project.\n 4. Read barometric pressure and compute depth.\n 5. Implement dive timer.\n 6. Add heart rate support (surface + chest strap underwater).\n 7. Build static breath-hold mode.\n 8. Add data screens / UI.\n 9. Log depth/dive data to FIT file.\n 10. Build and sideload to watch.\n 11. Test in controlled conditions (pool/shallow).\n\n5. **Verification** for each step.\n\n6. **Risks & Rollbacks**:\n - Water damage not covered by warranty.\n - App store rejection if try to publish.\n - Inaccurate depth from pressure due to weather changes/altitude calibration.\n - Wrist HR failure underwater.\n - Rollback: uninstall app, reset to factory defaults, use official pool swim profile.\n\n7. **Open Questions**:\n - Max depth you actually plan to dive?\n - Fresh or salt water?\n - Do you have or are willing to buy HRM-Swim/Tri chest strap?\n - Are you okay with sideloading only (no store)?\n - Which watch will you use as primary?\n - Do you want depth alerts/safety features?\n - Are you comfortable with Monkey C / do you want me to implement?\n\nI should make this clear and actionable. Let me write the plan.","thinkingSignature":"reasoning"},{"type":"text","text":"# Structured Implementation Plan: Garmin Freediving App\n\n## 1. Goal\nCreate a personal, sideloaded Garmin Connect IQ app that records freedive sessions (dive time, depth from barometric pressure, heart rate via compatible chest strap, and a static breath-hold timer) on the user’s existing Garmin watch.\n\n## 2. Constraints\n- **Hardware / water rating**\n - **Venu 2:** 5 ATM (pressure equivalent to ~50 m). Garmin classifies it as “Swim,” not dive-rated. Touchscreen AMOLED, no physical buttons for underwater use.\n - **fēnix 3:** 10 ATM (pressure equivalent to ~100 m). Garmin explicitly states it is “intended for surface swimming,” and scuba/free diving may void the warranty.\n - **fēnix 5:** 10 ATM (pressure equivalent to ~100 m). Same “surface swimming” limitation, but it exposes raw barometric pressure in Connect IQ, making it the most practical of the three for depth estimation.\n- **Sensor limitations**\n - Wrist-based optical HR does **not** work reliably underwater on any of these watches.\n - Underwater heart rate requires an ANT+ chest strap such as **HRM-Swim** or **HRM-Tri**, which stores HR while submerged and downloads it to the watch when surfacing.\n - GPS does **not** work underwater, so horizontal “distance in length” can only be approximated from arm movement/accelerometer or logged only for surface swimming/snorkeling segments.\n- **Connect IQ policy**\n - Garmin’s app-approval exceptions ban scuba, freediving, skydiving, and base-jumping apps from the Connect IQ Store. The app can only be used by **sideloading** the `.prg` file for personal use.\n- **Depth measurement**\n - Depth must be derived from barometric pressure: `depth ≈ (P − P_surface) / (ρ · g)`.\n - Surface pressure must be calibrated at the start of the dive and may drift with weather/temperature.\n - fēnix 5 can read raw pressure directly; fēnix 3 and Venu 2 may need to derive pressure from altitude or use newer SDK `Activity.Info.ambientPressure` where available.\n\n## 3. Approach\nBuild a single Connect IQ **app** (not a data field, because Sensor module access is restricted for data fields) in Monkey C using the latest compatible SDK. Target the **fēnix 5** as the primary device because raw pressure access is simplest; keep the **fēnix 3** and **Venu 2** as secondary targets using the pressure/altitude fallback. Implement three modes:\n1. **Dive mode:** continuously samples pressure → depth, records elapsed dive time, and pairs with an ANT+ HR strap.\n2. **Static breath-hold mode:** countdown timer with configurable target time and vibration cues.\n3. **Surface / snorkel mode:** logs GPS track and horizontal distance when the watch is above water.\n\nLog depth and dive events as custom FIT contributions so the data appears in Garmin Connect after sync.\n\n## 4. Steps\n\n| # | Task | Deliverable |\n|---|------|-------------|\n| 1 | **Pick the target device and SDK** | Decide whether to buy a fēnix 5 or use the fēnix 3/Venu 2. Download the latest Connect IQ SDK that still supports the chosen device (fēnix 3 requires SDK 2.x–3.x era; fēnix 5 and Venu 2 can use newer SDKs). |\n| 2 | **Set up the development environment** | Install VS Code, the Monkey C extension, and the SDK manager. Verify by building the “Hello World” sample and running it in the device simulator. |\n| 3 | **Create the app skeleton** | New Monkey C project with an app-type manifest, a main view, and a data-screen loop for dive / breath-hold / surface modes. |\n| 4 | **Read pressure and compute depth** | Implement a sensor callback or `Activity.Info.ambientPressure`/altitude polling loop. Convert pressure to depth in meters, with fresh-water (≈100 Pa/m) and salt-water (≈102.7 Pa/m) switches. Calibrate surface pressure on mode entry. |\n| 5 | **Implement the dive timer** | Start/stop activity timer on button press; display current depth, max depth, elapsed time, and current HR. Add lap marking per dive. |\n| 6 | **Add heart-rate support** | Enable `Sensor.setEnabledSensors` for HR + ANT+. Test with both wrist HR (above water only) and an HRM-Swim/Tri chest strap for underwater storage. |\n| 7 | **Build the static breath-hold mode** | A standalone timer with a settable target (e.g., 1:30, 2:00, etc.), countdown, periodic vibration cues, and final hold-time display. |\n| 8 | **Design the UI / data screens** | Large, high-contrast fields for depth, time, and HR; use a font/layout that is readable underwater and with wet hands (fēnix physical buttons preferred). |\n| 9 | **Log depth and dive events to FIT** | Use `FitContributor` to record custom fields: depth (m), max depth, surface interval, breath-hold duration, and lap events. Verify the generated `.fit` file in the simulator or on device. |\n| 10 | **Build and sideload** | Generate a signed `.prg` with the Monkey C “Build for Device” command, copy it to `GARMIN/APPS/` via USB, and confirm it appears in the watch’s apps list. |\n| 11 | **Test in controlled conditions** | Start in a swimming pool at shallow depth (1–3 m) with a known reference, compare watch depth to measured depth, and validate HR download from the chest strap. |\n\n## 5. Verification\n| Step | How to confirm it works |\n|------|--------------------------|\n| 1 | Check device compatibility matrix in the SDK’s `devices.xml` / simulator; confirm the chosen device is listed and the SDK version compiles for it. |\n| 2 | Run the sample app in the simulator; ensure it launches without build errors and produces a `.prg`. |\n| 3 | Launch the app in the simulator; verify the three modes can be switched and no runtime errors appear in the CIQ console. |\n| 4 | Simulate pressure changes in the device simulator or move the watch up/down in air; confirm computed depth is plausible and surface calibration resets correctly. |\n| 5 | Start/stop the timer; check that elapsed time increments and pauses correctly, and max depth updates. |\n| 6 | Pair a real or simulated HRM; confirm HR value appears in the UI and, for HRM-Swim/Tri, that stored data downloads after “surfacing.” |\n| 7 | Run breath-hold mode; confirm countdown reaches zero, vibrations fire, and final time is accurate. |\n| 8 | Test UI readability at arm’s length and with simulated sunlight/wet-screen overlays; confirm buttons are mapped correctly on non-touch devices. |\n| 9 | Save an activity in the simulator, open the resulting `.fit` in a FIT viewer, and verify the custom depth/dive fields are present. |\n| 10 | Sideload to watch; check the watch’s app list, `CIQ_LOG.YML` for “signature check passed,” and that the app launches. |\n| 11 | Compare pool-depth readings against a measured reference; verify HR data appears in Garmin Connect after syncing. |\n\n## 6. Risks & Rollbacks\n| Risk | Mitigation / Rollback |\n|------|----------------------|\n| **Water damage voids warranty** | Use the watch only at shallow depths initially; never exceed the manufacturer’s “surface swimming” guidance. Rollback: stop using the app for diving and revert to the built-in pool-swim profile. |\n| **Depth reading is inaccurate** | Calibrate surface pressure before every session; allow a warm-up dive; include a fresh/salt-water setting. Rollback: disable depth field and rely on time-only logging. |\n| **App cannot be published to the store** | Plan from the start for personal sideloading only; do not submit to Connect IQ Store. Rollback: none needed—keep the `.prg` for personal use. |\n| **Wrist HR fails underwater** | Require or recommend an HRM-Swim/Tri strap for any underwater HR logging. Rollback: use HR only during surface intervals or omit HR from underwater dives. |\n| **Battery dies mid-dive** | Reduce GPS/Bluetooth usage in dive mode; warn user to start with >80 % battery. Rollback: use shorter sessions or carry a backup dive computer. |\n| **Sideloading fails after firmware update** | Rebuild with the latest SDK that matches the watch firmware; check `CIQ_LOG.YML` for signature errors. Rollback: remove the app and restore default watch settings. |\n\n## 7. Open Questions\nBefore implementation starts, these need clarification:\n\n1. **Target watch:** Will you buy a fēnix 5, or do you want the app to run on the fēnix 3 or Venu 2 you already own? \n2. **Maximum depth:** How deep do you realistically plan to freedive? (This affects whether the 5 ATM / 10 ATM rating is even relevant and how accurate the pressure-based depth needs to be.) \n3. **Heart-rate accessory:** Do you already own, or are you willing to buy, an **HRM-Swim** or **HRM-Tri** chest strap for underwater HR? \n4. **Water type:** Will you train mostly in fresh water (pool/lake) or salt water (ocean)? This changes the depth-conversion constant. \n5. **Distribution:** Are you okay with **sideloading only** and not publishing to the Connect IQ Store? \n6. **Safety features:** Do you want configurable depth/time/vibration alerts (e.g., “turnaround at 25 m”), or just post-dive review? \n7. **Implementation role:** Do you want to write the Monkey C code yourself, or should I implement the app for you in a follow-up step?"}],"api":"openai-completions","provider":"ollama","model":"kimi-k2.7-code:cloud","usage":{"input":178031,"output":3706,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"reasoning":0,"totalTokens":181737,"cost":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"total":0}},"stopReason":"stop","timestamp":1785099056751,"responseId":"chatcmpl-304","responseModel":"kimi-k2.7-code"}} +{"type":"message","id":"5cb59ae7","parentId":"8ae8fc38","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:54:52.528Z","message":{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"text","text":"1. if possible for the watches i alraedy own, venu2 or fenix3\n2. for now not more than 30meters"}],"timestamp":1785099292518}} +{"type":"message","id":"c7e37429","parentId":"5cb59ae7","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:54:55.247Z","message":{"role":"assistant","content":[],"api":"openai-completions","provider":"ollama","model":"kimi-k2.7-code:cloud","usage":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"totalTokens":0,"cost":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"total":0}},"stopReason":"aborted","timestamp":1785099292533,"errorMessage":"Operation aborted"}} +{"type":"message","id":"4e8bbc0d","parentId":"c7e37429","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:55:09.432Z","message":{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"text","text":"1. if possible for the watches i alraedy own, venu2 or fenix3\n2. for now not more than 30meters"}],"timestamp":1785099309416}} +{"type":"message","id":"c1e78bb2","parentId":"4e8bbc0d","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:55:10.734Z","message":{"role":"assistant","content":[],"api":"openai-completions","provider":"ollama","model":"kimi-k2.7-code:cloud","usage":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"totalTokens":0,"cost":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"total":0}},"stopReason":"aborted","timestamp":1785099309439,"errorMessage":"Operation aborted"}} +{"type":"message","id":"e80e251e","parentId":"c1e78bb2","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:58:41.928Z","message":{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Create a structured implementation plan for: 1. if possible for the watches i alraedy own, venu2 or fenix3 2. for now not more than 30meters 3. the venu has heartrate include for the fenix i have the monitor 4. mainly feshwater or pool 5. only sideloading 6. would be great if possible 7. i would like you to build the app, but first if the mentioned watches would support anything like this? would they be able to meassure the depth consice?

You can use it in a watch face's background service.\n\nOr you can get the pressure by way of SensorHistory.getPressureHistory() and look at the newest sample or Activity.getActivityInfo().ambientPressure.\n\nThanks for quick answer. I am trying to get pressure with Activity.Info.meanSeaLevelPressure;. However, it returns null. I suspect that GPS needs to function because of altitude. I started activity on watch, waited to get GPS lock but it still displays null.\n\nI would prefer to get pressure from garmin weather info, is that possible?\n\nThanks, Jan\n\nThe garmin weather info doesn't include pressure.\n\nWhen you tested meanSeaLevelPressure, was that on a watch or in the sim? What device? It's got to be one with a baro altimeter.\n\nTactix Delta, it does have barometer. I did not test it for long time and not outdoors, I will try later.

My watch is now showing pressure taken from history :-)\n\nWe are using Activity.getActivityInfo().ambientPressure, meanSeaLevelPressure and rawAmbientPressure , and none of them seem to match the value of the pressure at GARMIN app, or the readings other watchfaces do. What are we missing??\n\nMany things just use SensorHistory.getPressureHistory() and the newest sample.\n\n3.

But you say, the foreground access won't work on a real device anyway, that's the important information for me. Btw, adding background + sensor permission approx. halves the available memory for a watchface (ERROR: PRG generated exceeds the memory limit of 'background' applications for device id 'fenix6xpro': 63883 bytes) - is this something I have to accept or can I circumvent this side effect?\n\nCan't I alternatively convert pressure to ambientPressure with the history data?\n\nIn the sim, are you simulating data? Try Activity.Info on a real device with a baro if you have doubts.\n\nOnce you add background permission, you want to make sure you use the (:background) annotation where needed, otherwise it will try to load the entire WF when the background runs, inclusing when onAppInstall() or onAppUpdate() are called.\n\nNow that I simulate data it shows a value - thanks. Even without adding additional permissions.\n\nOh, now I remember that in need to add :background annotations where needed to avoid my whole WF is running in the background - thanks.\n\nSo actually you say something different than I though - that real devices with baro allow to access Activity.getActivityInfo().ambientPressure in the foreground? So I just have to add the permissions, make sure my WF is running in foreground and it will work on a real device? Or will it work without the additional permissions in the foreground on a real device (as this is what I see in the sim)?\n\nhi, no permission is need for Activity.getActivityInfo().ambientPressure\n\nwhen Jim said \"Be sure to handle devices without a baro altimeter\" I think he means to check if the device has a Baro with\n\nif(Activity.getActivityInfo() has :ambientPressure){...}\n\nif you use this method, you don't need :Background annotation or permission.\n\nThanks, that answers all open questions. The unsure phrase for me was \"you can only access Sensor data in a background service\"\n\nyes the module Sensor. but Activity is available from foreground.\n\nDon't forget to check null statment\n\nthanks for clarifying that. Btw, isn't the null check enough for class variables? I actually though the :has must only be used for functions...\n\nhi, no it is not enough, if you try for exemple Activity.getActivityInfo().ambientPressure on a F45, it will crash since FR45 does not have ABC sensor.\n\nsee the API doc, you have lots of exemple of :has\n\nYou want to do the has check too. Devices like the fr45, fr55, fr245 and venu sq don't have a baro altimeter.\n\n4. Ambient Pressure and Mean Seal Level Pressure Mismatch - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n URL: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/324960/ambient-pressure-and-mean-seal-level-pressure-mismatch\n Ambient Pressure and Mean Seal Level Pressure Mismatch - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- Replies 4 replies\n- Subscribers 19 subscribers\n- Views 1459 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\n- Share\n- More\n- Cancel\n\nRelated\n\n# Ambient Pressure and Mean Seal Level Pressure Mismatch\n\nI've been seeing a discrepancy between the watch-calculated mean sea level pressure and true calculations based on the watch-observed ambient pressure. Based on the actual mean sea level pressure in the area, the value returned from meanSeaLevelPressure appears inaccurate. Here are more specific details from the simulator using simulated data:\n\n- Activity.Info.meanSeaLevelPressure returns a value of 102154.98 Pa (This is the seemingly incorrect value, should be 101045 Pa).\n- Activity.Info.ambientPressure returns a value of 87026.59 Pa\n- Activity.Info.altitude returns a value of 1242.70 m\n- SensorHistory.getTemperatureHistory (the last value in the iteration) returns a temperature of 25.5 C\n\nUsing that ambient pressure (87026 Pa) and altitude (1242 m), the mean sea level pressure should be 101045 Pa1, or 99957 Pa2 with a Temperature correction. The returned meanSeaLevelPressure is substantially off using the Garmin API. There should be only a couple areas where that error could occur\n\n1. The altitude used in meanSeaLevelPressure is substantially (roughly 100m) different than that of Activity.Info.altitude .\n2. The temperature correction used in meanSeaLevelPressure is different than returned by SensorHistory.getTemperatureHistory , however the documentation of meanSeaLevelPressure only suggests it is corrected for altitude\n3. The formulas used to calculate meanSeaLevelPressure in the API have an error.\n\nDoes anyone have any more insight into the specifics of the calculations and data Activity.Info.meanSeaLevelPressure utilizes? I'm consistently seeing errors in my watch face from actual measurements to the displayed data using the API data. Is there anything I may be missing?\n\n---\n\nReferences for calculations:\n\n1) Elevation, Station (QFE) and Sea Level (QNH) Pressure Calculator (sensorsone.com)\n\n2) Mean sea level pressure calculator (converter) (wind101.net)\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\nThis is something you really want to look at on a real device and not the sim. To compute MSL pressure it needs ambient presume and elevation, and based on device there are different ways to calibrate the altitude/elevation. You can enter a specific value, use GPS, or DEM.\n\nAnd then there's the case where you can be in the same location, but the weather, therefore ambient pressure, changes over time\n\nAnd then even on a real device, getXyzHistory isn't real time, but is only saved every few minutes (you can tell how often by using the \"when\" values of two adjacent samples. In the sim some of this data is \"canned\" and doesn't change over time\n\nHere for example are graphs of getPressureHistory and getTemperatureHistory in the sim. Both are canned and never change:\n\nThats a great thought --- I'll work on building a quick test app for my actual watch and update the post with that data if I'm seeing the same issue\n\nUpdate with actual device data (still seeing the same issue as the sim, been monitoring the data for a couple hours):\n\nUsing the device measured ambient pressure and altitude, the non-temperature corrected value for MSL Pressure should be 98803.0 Pascals. Although that seems close, it is noticeably off when using inHg values for aviation.\n\nThe Garmin API meanSeaLevelPressure converts to an altimeter setting of 29.09 inHg. Using widely accepted calculations from the measured ambientPressure results in 98803.0 Pascals results in an altimeter setting of 29.18 inHg [actual value from weather service is 29.17 inHg].\n\nWhat is interesting is the Garmin Barometer widget also shows the \"correct\" calculated value of 29.18 inHg. All this to say that the meanSeaLevelPressure value that is returned from the Garmin API neither matches the Garmin Barometer widget data, nor widely accepted calculation methods. Unless they're using some other method or pulling data from elsewhere, it seems like there's an error in the meanSeaLevelPressure calculations in Toybox.Activity.\n\nI thought altitude was based on GPS reading .. my Mk1 is new to me and i am noticing that the altitude changes over a range of 10 m at my desk near the beach . currently 40m . assumed it was based on tide change (i keep the GPS on) .. . the pressure detection i assume is the same as the one used for depth on a dive which has to be a manometer of sorts (not calculated) & a critical datapoint.\n\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - meanSeaLevelPressure returns 98517.5 Pascals (still doesn't match typical calculations, should be 98803.0 Pascals)\n- ambientPressure returns 88806.8 Pascals\n- altitude returns 890.6 meters [actual altitude at location is 886.5 meters, this is pretty accurate]\n- getTemperatureHistory returns 26.7 C\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n5.

The data is smoothed by a two-stage filter to reduce noise and instantaneous variation.\n\nHadn't looked at this API yet. Produces the same results in the simulator though:\n\n_info = Activity.Info;;\n\n_barometer = _info.ambientPressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer); // null value output to debug console\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()); // 'Encountered app crash'\n\nOther readings have suggested that the internal barometer is unavailable in the simulator (which makes ensuring the object works as expected difficult while testing) and to just assign a dummy float as the barometric value in simulation. Really hoping this isn't the case and I can get some pressure values within the simulator.\n\nIf you have a real device, you could try recording an activity and using that as the data source during simulation.\n\nBut for what it's worth, I tried simulating activity data with both fr955 and edge1050, and I was able to get a value from Activity.Info.ambientPressure.\n\n1) I create a simple data field project\n\n2) My view's compute() function looks like this:\n\n`function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {``   return info.ambientPressure;`` }`\n\n3) I run the app in the simulator and press the play button () in Simulator > Activity Data. (Yes, the UI here can be confusing - this has been a problem since the beginning, even though the UI has changed quite a bit.)\n\n3a) Before pressing play:\n\n3b) Press play:\n\n3c) After pressing play:\n\n_barometer = _info.pressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer) // this prints 'null'\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()) // throws errors\n\n_barometer = _info.ambientPressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer); // null value output to debug console\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()); // 'Encountered app crash'\n\nIt's expected that if you call toString() (or any other method) on a null value, your app will crash, since methods can only be called on a valid object.\n\nSince it's valid for either Sensor.Info.pressure or Activity.Info.ambientPressure to be null (according to the API docs / type info), this is a possibility you have to account for in your code, even when it runs on a real device.\n\nThe above procedure was successful on both SDK 7.4.3 (the latest) and 7.3.0.\n\nSince it's valid for either Sensor.Info.pressure or Activity.Info.ambientPressure to be null (according to the API docs / type info), this is a possibility you have to account for in your code, even when it runs on a real device.\n\nFor example, native Garmin data fields will often display \"--\" when a value is null / unavailable / not applicable.\n\nI'll try this a bit more. I knew how to turn on the 'Activity Data' within the simulator but not about the creation of the compute() function.\n\nJust need to figure out how to show the return within my existing app. Using the return from the compute() function still throws errors when I attempt either System.println() or dc.drawText() when passing either _barometer.format(\"%.2f\") or _barometer.toString() as paramters.\n\nIt's expected that if you call toString() (or any other method) on a null value, your app will crash, since methods can only be called on a valid object.\n\nAs flowstate has mentioned: you have to check for null before using the value in any method:\n\nif ( _barometer != null ) { dc.drawText(x, y, font, _barometer.format(“%.2f“), center);} else { dc.drawText(x, y, font, “ - - “ , center);}\n\nBTW: „return value“ in function compute() works only in simple datafields, whereas dc.drawText() works in onUpdate() only in complex datafields.\n\nps. This is an answer to mmcleod\n\nThe reminder to check for the null value first is appreciated, made testing easier.\n\nRan tests on the object using both compute() and dc.drawText() within onLayout(). So far my _barometer object remains null.\n\nThis has been tested using both Activity.Info and Sensor.Info objects. Activity Data in the simulator UI is running.\n\nEveryone's tips are appreciated.\n\nNot sure why simulated pressure data works for the fr955 and Edge1050, and not the Edge1030 I am running.\n\n> Not sure why simulated pressure data works for the fr955 and Edge1050, and not the Edge1030 I am running.\n\nI just tried edge1030 and it works fine.\n\n> I knew how to turn on the 'Activity Data' within the simulator but not about the creation of the compute() function.\n\nThe compute[] function is only relevant for a simple datafield, as in my example. If you create a simple data field project, the compute[] function will automatically be added for you [with a default return value such as 0.0]. Since your project did not have a compute[] function, I assume it is not a simple datafield.\n\nIt's only a proof of concept but I was able to display barometric pressure in an app as follows:\n\n1] Create a simple data field project:\n\n- Open command palette [CTRL-SHIFT-P / CMD-SHIFT-P]\n\n- Select \"Monkey C: New Project\"\n\n- Enter project name\n\n- Select Data Field\n\n- Select Simple\n\n- Select API level [this shouldn't matter, just pick the lowest one]\n\n- Select the products to support\n\n2] Modify the compute[] function [which should be generated as part of the new project] as follows:\n\n`// The given info object contains all the current workout``// information. Calculate a value and return it in this method.``// Note that compute() and onUpdate() are asynchronous, and there is no``// guarantee that compute() will be called before onUpdate().``function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {``   // See Activity.Info in the documentation for available information.``   return info.ambientPressure; // <==== add this line [and remove the existing line starting with \"return...\"]``}`\n\nNote that you don't need any special logic to handle null here because a simple data field is allowed to return null [in which case it will display nothing for the value], and because a Numeric value [such as a Float pressure value] will automatically be formatted as shown above.\n\nOfc in your real app, you will probably want special null-handling logic as in mcinner1's example, and you will probably want precise control over the formatting.\n\nBut this is just a test, so returning the value itself [Float or null] without any special formatting should be fine.\n\n3] Run the data field in the simulator\n\nYou should see the same results as I described above [except that the data field label won't be \"pressure\" unless you also change the part of the code that sets the label, which isn't really necessary for the test]\n\nOnce you have satisfied yourself that pressure data is indeed being simulated and displayed by your app, you can move on to trying to figure out why it isn't being displayed in your real app.\n\nflowstate the above mock project works and displays the pressure data. This worked using the above assumption of 'Data Field' rather than an 'App' for the project. The above template works for both Activity.Info and Sensor.Info objects.\n\nGoing to figure out why it isn't working in my app."}],"details":{"results":[{"title":"Device

Based on the actual mean sea level pressure in the area, the value returned from meanSeaLevelPressure appears inaccurate. Here are more specific details from the simulator using simulated data:\n\n- Activity.Info.meanSeaLevelPressure returns a value of 102154.98 Pa (This is the seemingly incorrect value, should be 101045 Pa).\n- Activity.Info.ambientPressure returns a value of 87026.59 Pa\n- Activity.Info.altitude returns a value of 1242.70 m\n- SensorHistory.getTemperatureHistory (the last value in the iteration) returns a temperature of 25.5 C\n\nUsing that ambient pressure (87026 Pa) and altitude (1242 m), the mean sea level pressure should be 101045 Pa1, or 99957 Pa2 with a Temperature correction. The returned meanSeaLevelPressure is substantially off using the Garmin API. There should be only a couple areas where that error could occur\n\n1. The altitude used in meanSeaLevelPressure is substantially (roughly 100m) different than that of Activity.Info.altitude .\n2. The temperature correction used in meanSeaLevelPressure is different than returned by SensorHistory.getTemperatureHistory , however the documentation of meanSeaLevelPressure only suggests it is corrected for altitude\n3. The formulas used to calculate meanSeaLevelPressure in the API have an error.\n\nDoes anyone have any more insight into the specifics of the calculations and data Activity.Info.meanSeaLevelPressure utilizes? I'm consistently seeing errors in my watch face from actual measurements to the displayed data using the API data. Is there anything I may be missing?\n\n---\n\nReferences for calculations:\n\n1) Elevation, Station (QFE) and Sea Level (QNH) Pressure Calculator (sensorsone.com)\n\n2) Mean sea level pressure calculator (converter) (wind101.net)\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\nThis is something you really want to look at on a real device and not the sim. To compute MSL pressure it needs ambient presume and elevation, and based on device there are different ways to calibrate the altitude/elevation. You can enter a specific value, use GPS, or DEM.\n\nAnd then there's the case where you can be in the same location, but the weather, therefore ambient pressure, changes over time\n\nAnd then even on a real device, getXyzHistory isn't real time, but is only saved every few minutes (you can tell how often by using the \"when\" values of two adjacent samples. In the sim some of this data is \"canned\" and doesn't change over time\n\nHere for example are graphs of getPressureHistory and getTemperatureHistory in the sim. Both are canned and never change:\n\nThats a great thought --- I'll work on building a quick test app for my actual watch and update the post with that data if I'm seeing the same issue\n\nUpdate with actual device data (still seeing the same issue as the sim, been monitoring the data for a couple hours):\n\nUsing the device measured ambient pressure and altitude, the non-temperature corrected value for MSL Pressure should be 98803.0 Pascals. Although that seems close, it is noticeably off when using inHg values for aviation.\n\nThe Garmin API meanSeaLevelPressure converts to an altimeter setting of 29.09 inHg. Using widely accepted calculations from the measured ambientPressure results in 98803.0 Pascals results in an altimeter setting of 29.18 inHg [actual value from weather service is 29.17 inHg].\n\nWhat is interesting is the Garmin Barometer widget also shows the \"correct\" calculated value of 29.18 inHg. All this to say that the meanSeaLevelPressure value that is returned from the Garmin API neither matches the Garmin Barometer widget data, nor widely accepted calculation methods. Unless they're using some other method or pulling data from elsewhere, it seems like there's an error in the meanSeaLevelPressure calculations in Toybox.Activity.\n\nI thought altitude was based on GPS reading .. my Mk1 is new to me and i am noticing that the altitude changes over a range of 10 m at my desk near the beach . currently 40m . assumed it was based on tide change (i keep the GPS on) .. . the pressure detection i assume is the same as the one used for depth on a dive which has to be a manometer of sorts (not calculated) & a critical datapoint.\n\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - meanSeaLevelPressure returns 98517.5 Pascals (still doesn't match typical calculations, should be 98803.0 Pascals)\n- ambientPressure returns 88806.8 Pascals\n- altitude returns 890.6 meters [actual altitude at location is 886.5 meters, this is pretty accurate]\n- getTemperatureHistory returns 26.7 C\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n- - Cancel\n- - Up 0 Down\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel"},{"title":"Using the simulator to test Edge 1030 internal barometer readings? - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums","url":"https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/399918/using-the-simulator-to-test-edge-1030-internal-barometer-readings","content":"Using the simulator to test Edge 1030 internal barometer readings? - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- State Not Answered\n- Replies 17 replies\n- Subscribers 19 subscribers\n- Views 2679 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\nRelated\n\n# Using the simulator to test Edge 1030 internal barometer readings?\n\nI am attempting to use the Edge 1030 internal barometer pressure information within my Connect IQ app.\n\nConnect IQ Device Simulator 7.3.0\n\nI set up the test using:\n\n---------------\n\nimport Toybox.Sensor;\n\nprivate var _info = null;\n\nprivate var _barometer = Lang.Float;\n\n_info = Sensor.Info;\n\n_barometer = _info.pressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer) // this prints 'null'\n\n------------\n\nMy problem starts when I want to test the _barometer object with an actual simulated value.

Relatively new to Monkey C and Connect IQ\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n## Top Replies\n\nI had tried creating an instance of the class\n\nIn general, the correct way to create an instance of a class would be to use the new keyword.\n\ne.g. var sensorInfo = new Sensor.Info();\n\nThe fact…\n\n- The posted code isn't quite right.private var _info = null;private var _barometer = Lang.Float; // [1]_info = Sensor.Info; // [2] _barometer = _info.pressure;[1] it doesn't make sense to initialize…\n\n## All Replies\n\nMaybe Activity.Info.ambientPressure does the trick:\n\n### var ambientPressure as Lang.Float or Null\n\nThe ambient pressure in Pascals (Pa).\n\nThis returns ambient (local) barometric pressure as measured by the pressure sensor. The data is smoothed by a two-stage filter to reduce noise and instantaneous variation.\n\nHadn't looked at this API yet. Produces the same results in the simulator though:\n\n_info = Activity.Info;;\n\n_barometer = _info.ambientPressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer); // null value output to debug console\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()); // 'Encountered app crash'\n\nOther readings have suggested that the internal barometer is unavailable in the simulator (which makes ensuring the object works as expected difficult while testing) and to just assign a dummy float as the barometric value in simulation. Really hoping this isn't the case and I can get some pressure values within the simulator.\n\nIf you have a real device, you could try recording an activity and using that as the data source during simulation.\n\nBut for what it's worth, I tried simulating activity data with both fr955 and edge1050, and I was able to get a value from Activity.Info.ambientPressure.\n\n1) I create a simple data field project\n\n2) My view's compute() function looks like this:\n\n`function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {``   return info.ambientPressure;`` }`\n\n3) I run the app in the simulator and press the play button () in Simulator > Activity Data. (Yes, the UI here can be confusing - this has been a problem since the beginning, even though the UI has changed quite a bit.)\n\n3a) Before pressing play:\n\n3b) Press play:\n\n3c) After pressing play:\n\n_barometer = _info.pressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer) // this prints 'null'\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()) // throws errors\n\n_barometer = _info.ambientPressure;\n\nSystem.println(_barometer); // null value output to debug console\n\nSystem.println(_barometer.toString()); // 'Encountered app crash'\n\nIt's expected that if you call toString() (or any other method) on a null value, your app will crash, since methods can only be called on a valid object.\n\nSince it's valid for either Sensor.Info.pressure or Activity.Info.ambientPressure to be null (according to the API docs / type info), this is a possibility you have to account for in your code, even when it runs on a real device.\n\nThe above procedure was successful on both SDK 7.4.3 (the latest) and 7.3.0.\n\nSince it's valid for either Sensor.Info.pressure or Activity.Info.ambientPressure to be null (according to the API docs / type info), this is a possibility you have to account for in your code, even when it runs on a real device.\n\nFor example, native Garmin data fields will often display \"--\" when a value is null / unavailable / not applicable.\n\nI'll try this a bit more. I knew how to turn on the 'Activity Data' within the simulator but not about the creation of the compute() function.\n\nJust need to figure out how to show the return within my existing app. Using the return from the compute() function still throws errors when I attempt either System.println() or dc.drawText() when passing either _barometer.format(\"%.2f\") or _barometer.toString() as paramters.\n\nIt's expected that if you call toString() (or any other method) on a null value, your app will crash, since methods can only be called on a valid object.\n\nAs flowstate has mentioned: you have to check for null before using the value in any method:\n\nif ( _barometer != null ) { dc.drawText(x, y, font, _barometer.format(“%.2f“), center);} else { dc.drawText(x, y, font, “ - - “ , center);}\n\nBTW: „return value“ in function compute() works only in simple datafields, whereas dc.drawText() works in onUpdate() only in complex datafields.\n\nps. This is an answer to mmcleod\n\nThe reminder to check for the null value first is appreciated, made testing easier.\n\nRan tests on the object using both compute() and dc.drawText() within onLayout(). So far my _barometer object remains null.\n\nThis has been tested using both Activity.Info and Sensor.Info objects. Activity Data in the simulator UI is running.\n\nEveryone's tips are appreciated.\n\nNot sure why simulated pressure data works for the fr955 and Edge1050, and not the Edge1030 I am running.\n\n> Not sure why simulated pressure data works for the fr955 and Edge1050, and not the Edge1030 I am running.\n\nI just tried edge1030 and it works fine.\n\n> I knew how to turn on the 'Activity Data' within the simulator but not about the creation of the compute() function.\n\nThe compute[] function is only relevant for a simple datafield, as in my example. If you create a simple data field project, the compute[] function will automatically be added for you [with a default return value such as 0.0]. Since your project did not have a compute[] function, I assume it is not a simple datafield.\n\nIt's only a proof of concept but I was able to display barometric pressure in an app as follows:\n\n1] Create a simple data field project:\n\n- Open command palette [CTRL-SHIFT-P / CMD-SHIFT-P]\n\n- Select \"Monkey C: New Project\"\n\n- Enter project name\n\n- Select Data Field\n\n- Select Simple\n\n- Select API level [this shouldn't matter, just pick the lowest one]\n\n- Select the products to support\n\n2] Modify the compute[] function [which should be generated as part of the new project] as follows:\n\n`// The given info object contains all the current workout``// information. Calculate a value and return it in this method.``// Note that compute() and onUpdate() are asynchronous, and there is no``// guarantee that compute() will be called before onUpdate().``function compute(info as Activity.Info) as Numeric or Duration or String or Null {``   // See Activity.Info in the documentation for available information.``   return info.ambientPressure; // <==== add this line [and remove the existing line starting with \"return...\"]``}`\n\nNote that you don't need any special logic to handle null here because a simple data field is allowed to return null [in which case it will display nothing for the value], and because a Numeric value [such as a Float pressure value] will automatically be formatted as shown above.\n\nOfc in your real app, you will probably want special null-handling logic as in mcinner1's example, and you will probably want precise control over the formatting.\n\nBut this is just a test, so returning the value itself [Float or null] without any special formatting should be fine.\n\n3] Run the data field in the simulator\n\nYou should see the same results as I described above [except that the data field label won't be \"pressure\" unless you also change the part of the code that sets the label, which isn't really necessary for the test]\n\nOnce you have satisfied yourself that pressure data is indeed being simulated and displayed by your app, you can move on to trying to figure out why it isn't being displayed in your real app.\n\nflowstate the above mock project works and displays the pressure data. This worked using the above assumption of 'Data Field' rather than an 'App' for the project. The above template works for both Activity.Info and Sensor.Info objects.\n\nGoing to figure out why it isn't working in my app."}]},"isError":false,"timestamp":1785099546837}} +{"type":"message","id":"f582b7a7","parentId":"6f07a163","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:59:06.837Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"functions.ollama_web_search:15","toolName":"ollama_web_search","content":[{"type":"text","text":"1.

Anybody?\n\nI would also like access to the raw pressure data as well. I suspect for the same reason - a depth gauge. At the very least a complete and accurate description of what the data we are getting out of GetSensorInfo is so we can manually deconstruct it back into what is needed. The raw info is available as a datafield, so why can we not access it in the API? (The same goes with GPS altitude) Right now the only workaround is to use altitude (from either SensorInfo or ActivityInfo), but since we don't know how exactly how that is derived, any depth calculations base off altitude can not be considered reliable. Thanks\n\nI have plans to look into this further, but it'll have to go into my queue. I'll see what I can find out and try to get an answer by later this week or early next week.\n\nThis hasn't been forgotten! I'm talking to the device teams to get an answer on this. Connect IQ doesn't do anything to the data--we're basically just making a request to the OS for sensor data and piping through whatever it returns. If there is any auto-calibration or massaging of the data, it's happening at a lower level. Once I have an answer, I'll post it here. Thanks for your patience!\n\nThanks Brandon! I will wait patiently. I hope you will come back with good news ;)\n\n> This hasn't been forgotten!\n\nI think it now is forgotten?\n\nHey guys,This is how I do it in my app.Data available: sensor.altitude (from pressure using baro setting) and sensor.pressure (that really gives the barometer setting adjusted with changes in pressure since that setting was made by user - as far as I understand)Assumption: even a 100mb change in pressure (which is huge) will only impact the result by only 10cm under water, so it's quite negligible.1/ Take current pressure altitude2/ Convert it to ambient pressure (below, replacing p0 with baro setting would return the correct ambient pressure, but again sensor.pressure doesn't give exactly baro setting).3/ Convert that to depth`// Physics for ambient pressure calculation var p0 = 101325;// sea level standard atmospheric pressure Pa var L = 0.0065;// temperature lapse rate, = g/cp*for dry air K/m var T0 = 288.15;// sea level standard temperature 288,15 K var g = 9.80665;// Earth-surface gravitational acceleration 9,80665 m/s² var M = 0.0289644;// molar mass of dry air 0,0289644 kg/mol var R = 8.31447;// universal gas constant 8,31447 J/(mol*K) var exp = g*M/R/L; var fact = L/T0; var press = p0 * Math.pow((1-altitude*fact),exp)/100; var depth = 0.0; depth = (press/1000.0 - 1); if (unitElevMeters){ altStr = \"-\" + depth.format(\"%.2f\") + \"m\"; } else {//feet altStr = \"-\" + (depth*3.28084).format(\"%1f\") + \"ft\"; } ` Don't know if it helps but I hope so.\n\nNo not forgotten. :) Work is still ongoing, but it's going to take some time. I apologize that it's not being completed more quickly. It's not a simple matter of flipping a switch to make the data available--we're coordinating with a couple of other technology teams to come up with the best solution, and that will likely require us to also coordinate with device teams to integrate any necessary changes.\n\n@julienvn: thanks for the formula this may be very helpful. But to be honest i have some troubles to use it. Technical it is not an issue but why should i make all strange calculation to recalculate the original data? I am an engineer that has the motivation to make an app for garmin to make their prduct better for free. It take a lot of my time to do this but how is the support to me in this case? I don't understand it is now 2 months later and still no response again. @brandon: please correct me if i see things the wrong way ��. I would be happy to admit that i am wrong in this case.\n\nHi there,I had the same issue as Fruitmans and posted the same question on another thread (https://forums.garmin.com/forum/developers/connect-iq/159801-) However, as it seems there is still no solution to that. Is there any chance that the ambient pressure sensor reading is going to be directly available? It seems kind of odd that only processed pressure data is available through the API even though there exists a datafield for this data.Maybe Brandon can give us an update on that after two years?

CIQ v1.x (in this case Fenix 3 HR)\n\nI’m writing a watch face for v1.x watches (I own a F3HR) and I would really like to have pressure data usable on the face. Has anyone found any way at all of implementing this? I’m open to hacks, workarounds, low quality options, ambient or sea level pressure (I can convert from one to the other using altitude as a variable). I’ve attempted to scour this forum for ideas. Sensor and SensorHistory both come back with a no permission type warning In the simulator, and Activity.Info doesn’t seem to contain pressure values in v1.x? I was even thinking of having a widget populate the value into the object store and then the face could go get it? Is that even feasible?Thanks in advance - any help would be greatly appreciated!\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n> I’ve attempted to scour this forum for ideas.

Is that even feasible?\n\nActually, Sensor can't be used in watch faces, and SensorHistory can, but only on watches that support it (and they are all CIQ 2.x or greater). There's no way for a widget and WF to share an object store. Activity.Info has ambient,rawAmbient, and meanSeaLevel pressure, but only on devices with a baro altimeter and have CIQ 2.4.x or greater.So, in other words, you can't show pressure in a WF on a f3hr.\n\nOk thanks Jim. I’ve been reading a ton of your posts - I was secretly hoping to get a reply from you as you seem to know this stuff inside out :)i guess I’ll code this as an optional parameter if the device has 2.x\n\nFor things that may not be available on all devices (like this), and if that value is selected, I'll either ignore that field, or display something like N.A. (not available). SensorHistory or the new things in Activity.Info for pressure would be the way to go, and you can either do that check at compile time based on the target, or runtime using \"has\".\n\n4. Widget: AirPressure - Connect IQ App Showcase - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n URL: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/811/widget-airpressure\n Widget: AirPressure - Connect IQ App Showcase - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- Replies 17 replies\n- Subscribers 4 subscribers\n- Views 3746 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\nRelated\n\n# Widget: AirPressure\n\nAirPressure WidgetSimple widget displaying the current atmospheric pressure as well as the barometric pressure (air pressure at sea level) and altitude. The Garmin barometer widget only displays the barometric pressure and there is currently no way to display the \"raw\" (unadjusted) atmospheric pressure on the Fenix 3 except by adding it as a datafield in an activity. This widget corrects this and displays the atmospheric pressure without having to start an activity.The widget is optimized for the Fenix 3. For a similar widget optimized for square watches (e.g. Epix, VivoFit etc.) please check out my AtmosphericPressure widget (https://apps.garmin.com/en-GB/apps/1183288c-4156-4dc2-83e4-dd555b9a22b1).**NOTE** I would have prefered to add a chart of pressure changes over the past 48 hours to the widget (useful for weather predictions) but for the time being Connect IQ API limitations prevent me from doing this (in order to update the chart at a fixed interval - say every 15 mins - I would need to be able to poll the current air pressure even when the widget is not active, something not currently possible with Connect IQ widgets).***CHANGE HISTORY***Changes made from version 1.0 to version 1.1:- added ability to display atmospheric pressure in either mmHg, inHg, milibars or hectopascals (press MENU while inside the widget to change measurement unit)- altitude is now displayed in either meters or feet depending on user settings\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\nHi, you can add chart to your widget like this - https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/4370b941-4874-41f4-82d1-d10924eb4bfa I mean create and update chart when user open widget. It's no need update him every 15 min in day. I use this widget on 920xt, thanks.\n\nGreat !Thanks thebigbadwolf_1 !\n\nHi, I do not understand this:Baro preassure (in Fenix) showed me 1000 hPa, Alt=340m (after GPS calibration) and this app showed me: Air 744 hPa, Baro 1015,2 alt 340m. How is it going together? Thanx a lot.\n\nPlease make it work with ForeAthlete 920XTJ because i using 920xt taiwan and not be able to use it. Thanks\n\nI don't think the Vivoactive has a baro altimeter. How does this work on that device?\n\ngreat widget, thanks very much.If it is possible, please consider adding a shortcut to altimeter calibration: as it is, the widget uses whatever the current altimeter setting is, which is likely to be wrong (thanks to weather change), rather than the currently calibrated elevation - which may not be available to the widget?\n\nstorm alert Hey, i think the great addition to your widget would be the storm alert as you are alraedy normalising for the altitude that would give better alert than garmin default one that you can only use if not moving up and down. Peter\n\nBug Hi, Experiencing some bug where the barometer pressure on the widget Garmin provided and yours does not tally. Altimeter settings are to auto cal set to continuous Thanks\n\nbarometer graph please I would really like a widget showing barometer trends over time in the form of a graph, to assess weather changes. Thanks for your current app, and look forward to further enhancements, Ted\n\nForerunner XT920 and trend chart for air pressure Is it possible to get this widget als for the forerunner xt920 with a small trend chart (24h) with air pressure values each 1 hour?\n\n5.

When i test my app on the Fenix 3 i do not get the result i want. When i apply a sudden pressure change the readings do change but after a few seconds the value moves back the the value before i increased the pressure. It looks to me that this is not a raw sensor value but some auto calibrated one. Is there a way to use the raw sensor data?\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\nIs Garmin watching their forum? Anybody?\n\nI would also like access to the raw pressure data as well. I suspect for the same reason - a depth gauge. At the very least a complete and accurate description of what the data we are getting out of GetSensorInfo is so we can manually deconstruct it back into what is needed. The raw info is available as a datafield, so why can we not access it in the API? (The same goes with GPS altitude) Right now the only workaround is to use altitude (from either SensorInfo or ActivityInfo), but since we don't know how exactly how that is derived, any depth calculations base off altitude can not be considered reliable. Thanks\n\nI have plans to look into this further, but it'll have to go into my queue. I'll see what I can find out and try to get an answer by later this week or early next week.\n\nThis hasn't been forgotten! I'm talking to the device teams to get an answer on this. Connect IQ doesn't do anything to the data--we're basically just making a request to the OS for sensor data and piping through whatever it returns. If there is any auto-calibration or massaging of the data, it's happening at a lower level. Once I have an answer, I'll post it here. Thanks for your patience!\n\nThanks Brandon! I will wait patiently. I hope you will come back with good news ;)\n\n> This hasn't been forgotten!\n\nI think it now is forgotten?\n\nHey guys,This is how I do it in my app.Data available: sensor.altitude (from pressure using baro setting) and sensor.pressure (that really gives the barometer setting adjusted with changes in pressure since that setting was made by user - as far as I understand)Assumption: even a 100mb change in pressure (which is huge) will only impact the result by only 10cm under water, so it's quite negligible.1/ Take current pressure altitude2/ Convert it to ambient pressure (below, replacing p0 with baro setting would return the correct ambient pressure, but again sensor.pressure doesn't give exactly baro setting).3/ Convert that to depth`// Physics for ambient pressure calculation var p0 = 101325;// sea level standard atmospheric pressure Pa var L = 0.0065;// temperature lapse rate, = g/cp*for dry air K/m var T0 = 288.15;// sea level standard temperature 288,15 K var g = 9.80665;// Earth-surface gravitational acceleration 9,80665 m/s² var M = 0.0289644;// molar mass of dry air 0,0289644 kg/mol var R = 8.31447;// universal gas constant 8,31447 J/(mol*K) var exp = g*M/R/L; var fact = L/T0; var press = p0 * Math.pow((1-altitude*fact),exp)/100; var depth = 0.0; depth = (press/1000.0 - 1); if (unitElevMeters){ altStr = \"-\" + depth.format(\"%.2f\") + \"m\"; } else {//feet altStr = \"-\" + (depth*3.28084).format(\"%1f\") + \"ft\"; } ` Don't know if it helps but I hope so.\n\nNo not forgotten. :) Work is still ongoing, but it's going to take some time. I apologize that it's not being completed more quickly. It's not a simple matter of flipping a switch to make the data available--we're coordinating with a couple of other technology teams to come up with the best solution, and that will likely require us to also coordinate with device teams to integrate any necessary changes.\n\n@julienvn: thanks for the formula this may be very helpful. But to be honest i have some troubles to use it. Technical it is not an issue but why should i make all strange calculation to recalculate the original data? I am an engineer that has the motivation to make an app for garmin to make their prduct better for free. It take a lot of my time to do this but how is the support to me in this case? I don't understand it is now 2 months later and still no response again. @brandon: please correct me if i see things the wrong way ��. I would be happy to admit that i am wrong in this case.\n\nHi there,I had the same issue as Fruitmans and posted the same question on another thread (https://forums.garmin.com/forum/developers/connect-iq/159801-) However, as it seems there is still no solution to that. Is there any chance that the ambient pressure sensor reading is going to be directly available? It seems kind of odd that only processed pressure data is available through the API even though there exists a datafield for this data.Maybe Brandon can give us an update on that after two years? Are there any plans to make this available through CIQ?Thanks for an update"},{"title":"Toybox.Sensor.Info","url":"https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Sensor/Info.html","content":"Toybox.Sensor.Info\n\n# Class: Toybox.Sensor.Info\n\nInherits: Toybox.Lang.Object\n\nToybox.Lang.Object\n\nToybox.Sensor.Info\n\nshow all\n\n## Overview\n\nThe Sensor.Info class contains all of the information provided by enabled sensors.\n\nSensor.Info can be retrieved on every call of onUpdate() or it can be obtained on demand.

CIQ v1.x (in this case Fenix 3 HR)\n\nI’m writing a watch face for v1.x watches (I own a F3HR) and I would really like to have pressure data usable on the face. Has anyone found any way at all of implementing this? I’m open to hacks, workarounds, low quality options, ambient or sea level pressure (I can convert from one to the other using altitude as a variable). I’ve attempted to scour this forum for ideas. Sensor and SensorHistory both come back with a no permission type warning In the simulator, and Activity.Info doesn’t seem to contain pressure values in v1.x? I was even thinking of having a widget populate the value into the object store and then the face could go get it? Is that even feasible?Thanks in advance - any help would be greatly appreciated!\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n> I’ve attempted to scour this forum for ideas.

Is that even feasible?\n\nActually, Sensor can't be used in watch faces, and SensorHistory can, but only on watches that support it (and they are all CIQ 2.x or greater). There's no way for a widget and WF to share an object store. Activity.Info has ambient,rawAmbient, and meanSeaLevel pressure, but only on devices with a baro altimeter and have CIQ 2.4.x or greater.So, in other words, you can't show pressure in a WF on a f3hr.\n\nOk thanks Jim. I’ve been reading a ton of your posts - I was secretly hoping to get a reply from you as you seem to know this stuff inside out :)i guess I’ll code this as an optional parameter if the device has 2.x\n\nFor things that may not be available on all devices (like this), and if that value is selected, I'll either ignore that field, or display something like N.A. (not available). SensorHistory or the new things in Activity.Info for pressure would be the way to go, and you can either do that check at compile time based on the target, or runtime using \"has\"."},{"title":"Widget: AirPressure - Connect IQ App Showcase - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums","url":"https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/811/widget-airpressure","content":"Widget: AirPressure - Connect IQ App Showcase - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- Replies 17 replies\n- Subscribers 4 subscribers\n- Views 3746 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\nRelated\n\n# Widget: AirPressure\n\nAirPressure WidgetSimple widget displaying the current atmospheric pressure as well as the barometric pressure (air pressure at sea level) and altitude.

How does this work on that device?\n\ngreat widget, thanks very much.If it is possible, please consider adding a shortcut to altimeter calibration: as it is, the widget uses whatever the current altimeter setting is, which is likely to be wrong (thanks to weather change), rather than the currently calibrated elevation - which may not be available to the widget?\n\nstorm alert Hey, i think the great addition to your widget would be the storm alert as you are alraedy normalising for the altitude that would give better alert than garmin default one that you can only use if not moving up and down.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day.

NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

See our ethics statement.\n\nIn the great pantheon of gadgets we attach to our wrists, two categories have jumped to the front: smartwatches and sports watches. Smartwatches are sleek and more for the day-to-day, but they typically suffer horrible battery life. Sports watches are tougher, longer-lasting, and, well, sportier, but they tend to be big, bulky, and ugly. The Garmin Venu 2 is an attempt to close the gap between the two product categories — and while it isn’t perfect, it’s the closest anyone has come yet.\n\n7.5\n\nVerge Score\n\n### Garmin Venu 2\n\n$400\n\n$400\n\n#### The Good\n\nBright, sharp display\n\n#### The Bad\n\nNo onboard maps\n\n$400 at Amazon$400 at Garmin$400 at Best Buy\n\nHow we rate and review products\n\nLet’s start with the body. There are two sizes to choose from. The standard Venu 2 comes in at 45mm (1.77 inches), and the Venu 2S is 40mm (1.58 inches). Both watches cost the same $400 and are effectively identical, but the 2S has a slightly smaller screen (1.1 inches versus 1.3 inches) and a nominally shorter battery life. I thought the regular Venu 2 looked good on me, but smaller-wristed people should go for the S. Right up front, the watches have a bright and colorful OLED touchscreen. It’s sharp and clear, and I was able to clearly read it even in bright, direct sunlight while running.\n\nThere are only two physical buttons, both on the right side of the watch. The top button is the activity start / stop button, and long-pressing will get you right to you a circle of shortcuts for settings and apps. The bottom button is the back button, but it also doubles as a manual lap / set trigger, and long-pressing will get you into your settings.\n\nThe rest of the UI is navigated by touch, and it actually doesn’t suck! That may sound like a low bar to clear, but the vast majority of smartwatch user interfaces are objectively awful. In contrast, Garmin’s is simple and intuitive. It borrows heavily from its sports watches like the Fenix 6 and the Enduro— including its excellent widgets that provide just enough info — you just navigate it with a touchscreen now.\n\nThe Venu 2 is sleeker and more understated than Garmin’s other watches, such as the Fenix 6 seen here on the right. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThe watch itself is understated and attractive. It’s low-profile enough that it doesn’t catch on sleeves, and you could even get away with wearing it for formal occasions. Changing straps is quick and easy; there are plenty of classy leather type options in addition to the typical workout-focused straps.\n\nFortunately, it’s outdoorsier than it looks. In addition to being waterproof to 5 atmospheres (about 164 feet), it has basically every sensor you could want, including: GPS and GLONASS for satellite positioning, a barometric altimeter for elevation, a compass for positioning, a gyroscope and accelerometer for motion tracking, a thermometer, ambient light sensor, a heart rate monitor, and pulse oximeter. All of those work very well. The heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter represent the first use of Garmin’s new Elevate V4 sensor suite, which has upgraded infrared sensors (as well as more sensors) for better accuracy. It tracked my runs and hikes accurately, and the heart rate monitor was almost as accurate as the chest strap I wore (the Wahoo Tickr, which also has been excellent in my testing).\n\nOn the smartwatch side, the Venu 2 checks most of the boxes, though there’s nothing particularly revolutionary about it. It displays notifications from your smartphone, be it Android or iOS. If you’re using Android (I was testing with my trusty Google Pixel 5), you can quick-reply to text messages and other notifications (you can program your own quick-replies via the app), which is handy when a Yes / No / ”Call you back in a bit” will do. This works fine with texts, but when I tried this with Gmail messages, the replies never actually went through, despite it saying it had been sent on the watch screen. For what it’s worth, Apple would prefer you buy the Apple Watch, so it does not allow you to reply to text messages via any third-party watch, which is annoying.\n\nYou can reply to incoming messages from the Venu 2 — if you’re using with an Android phone. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThe Venu 2 has an NFC radio and Garmin Pay, which allows you to store credit card info on the watch and tap to pay when you’re without your phone / wallet. It can also store music (there’s enough storage for up to 650 songs) and pair directly with Bluetooth earbuds. Getting the watch set up with Spotify was a bit of a pain, but once that was done, I was able to quickly download a whole playlist and head out sans phone.\n\nWhile most smartwatches top out around a day of battery life (maybe two if you’re conservative), the Venu 2 boasts 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (10 days for the Venu 2S), which is excellent. Obviously, using the GPS for activity tracking will take a good bite out of that, and I always did a mix of both, but even with logging all of my GPS workouts, the battery never lasted less than eight days between charges. That ends up being a big deal for your 24 / 7 health tracking metrics. The Venu 2 has very detailed sleep tracking, as well as heart rate, respiration rate, and more, and it’s really nice to get a week-plus of uninterrupted measurements without having to worry about taking it off to charge.\n\nIt’s worth noting that there are some smartwatch features the Venu 2 does not have, which would be stock on something like Apple Watches or Google’s Wear OS. It doesn’t have any kind of voice assistant built in. In fact, it doesn’t even have a mic or a speaker, so there are no voice calls or voice commands. There are a lot of customizable watchfaces to choose from, and it can display your upcoming calendar events, but you can’t add or edit events from the watch. Basically, it’s smart-ish, but there are sacrifices.\n\nThe Venu 2 can coach you through a number of workouts. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nOn the sports watch side, there are about 30 activities you can choose from, including running, walking, hiking, pool swim, strength training, snowboarding, skiing, and others, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to the offerings from most dedicated sports watches, including the Garmin Enduro or Fenix 6. For example, there is no option for trail running, open water swimming, or surfing (which are some of my most common workouts), and there isn’t really a good reason why. The Venu 2 has all the necessary sensors, and it has plenty of storage for those tiny apps.\n\nThe Venu 2 also lacks not only maps but even a simple track-back feature for runs and hikes to help you find your way back to your starting point, something I sorely missed when I got lost on a run and ended up straining my knee while finding my way back. It does have a “Back to Start” feature, but that just tells you your distance back to your starting place and has an arrow to point you in the (allegedly) right direction. In practice, it’s essentially useless. Because it doesn’t display the path you took, the arrow would frequently lead me down dead-end streets. Often, it pointed in the exact opposite direction of where I started, even though the distance was consistent. This leads you to play colder / hotter as you’re trying to find your way back. It’s just bad.\n\nThe Venu 2 has no onboard maps and its “Back to Start” breadcrumb feature does not work well. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThese are some big omissions in my book, and it seems like Garmin only made these choices because it doesn’t want to cannibalize its sales of its higher-end sports watches, which is extremely disappointing. This watch could attract far more people if it just included more apps. For me, the lack of my favorite workouts would be a deal-breaker, but that begs the question: who is this watch really intended for? It includes things like treadmill, indoor rowing, yoga, Pilates, stair stepper, and indoor climbing, but not kayaking or mountain biking. The watch also has downloadable HIIT and strength training workouts with a muscle map to show you what you’re going to work, clever animations to guide you, and automatic rep counting, but there is no attempt at outdoor route-finding or navigation.\n\nIt seems like this watch is more aimed for city folk rather than those who want to get out in the dirt. Garmin effectively confirmed that to me, saying the Venu 2 was designed for more of an “active lifestyle” versus an adventure / outdoor customer in mind.\n\nIf you look at the list of activities and you see that all of your favorites are covered, then this watch is liable to be an excellent workout companion for you. The smart features are nice, the battery life is fantastic, and the activity tracking is highly accurate.\n\nBut if you, like me, prefer to get your exercise out in nature, then it’s worth shelling out the extra money for a Fenix 6. It’s a real shame because this watch could have been great for both, and it would be a better fit for far more people if it just had more activity options. We’ll update this review if Garmin has a change of heart and fixes that with a software update, but I wouldn’t hold your meticulously tracked breath.\n\n## Agree to Continue: Garmin Venu 2\n\nEvery smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads. It’s impossible for us to read and analyze every single one of these agreements. But we started counting exactly how many times you have to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate.\n\nTo use the Garmin Venu 2 or 2S, you must agree to the company’s terms of use and the end user licensing agreement for the Connect App. If you want to use the watch’s built-in Garmin Pay system, you have to also agree to the terms and conditions for that.\n\nFinal tally: two mandatory agreements, one optional agreement.\n\nPhotography by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nFollow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.\n\nBrent Rose\n\nReviews\n\nSmartwatch Reviews\n\nTech\n\nWearable\n\n## Most Popular\n\nMost Popular\n\nMeta launches cheaper smart glasses without Ray-Ban\n\nThe best Prime Day deals we found on our favorite gear\n\nThe Steam Machine is the most ambitious game console I’ve ever played\n\nValve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop\n\n1.

A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted \nheart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are \ncalculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. \nSetting Your Heart Rate Zones \nThe watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. \nThe watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during \nyour activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually \nadjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones. \n3 Select Default to view the default values (optional). \nThe default values can be applied to running and cycling. \n4 Select Running or Cycling. \n5 Select Preference > Set Custom. \n6 Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate. \n7 Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone. \n\nFitness Goals \nKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying \nthese principles. \n• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. \n• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. \nIf you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to \ndetermine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. \nIf you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms \nand health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is \n220 minus your age. \n\nHeart Rate Zone Calculations\n\n| Zone | % of Maximum Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion | Benefits |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 50–60% | Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing | Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress |\n| 2 | 60–70% | Comfortable pace, slightly deeper breathing, conversation possible | Basic cardiovascular training, good recovery pace |\n| 3 | 70–80% | Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation | Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training |\n| 4 | 80–90% | Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful | Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed |\n| 5 | 90–100% | Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing | Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power |\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates \nVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body \nweight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular strength \nand should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Venu 2 series watch requires wrist-based heart rate \nor a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. \nOn the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate. \nVO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics ™. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The \nCooper Institute \n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 62), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.\n\nHeart Rate Features 17\n\nGetting Your VO2 Max. Estimate \nThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest \nheart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 52). \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13), and set \nyour maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 16). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. \nThe watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > VO2 Max. \nIf you have already recorded a brisk walk or run outdoors, your VO2 max. estimate may appear. The watch \ndisplays the date your VO2 max. estimate was last updated. The watch updates your VO2 max. estimate \neach time you complete an outdoor walk or run of 15 minutes or longer. You can manually start a VO2 max. \ntest to get an updated estimate. \n3 To start a VO2 max. test, tap the screen. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions to get your VO2 max. estimate. \nA message appears when the test is complete. \nViewing Your Fitness Age \nYour fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch \nuses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history \nto provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index ™ scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric \ninstead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. \nNOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 13). \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > User Profile > Fitness Age. \nPulse Oximeter \nThe Venu 2 series watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. \nKnowing your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine \nhow your body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin \nand checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO2. \nOn the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO2 percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, \nyou can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days \n(Changing the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode, page 19). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, \ngo to garmin.com/ataccuracy. \nGetting Pulse Oximeter Readings \nYou can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse \noximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness. \nNOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances, page 23). \n1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance. \n2 Select the glance to begin the reading. \n3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n4 Keep still. \nThe watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and \nheart rate values since midnight. \n\nChanging the Pulse Oximeter Tracking Mode \n1 Hold . \n2 Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode. \n3 Select an option: \n• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day. NOTE: Turning on pulse oximeter tracking decreases battery life. \n• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep. NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings. \n• To turn off automatic measurements, select On Demand. \n\nTips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable. \n• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation. \n• Use a silicone or nylon band. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch. \n• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch. \n• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout. \n\n#### Activity Tracking\n\nThe activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories. The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps glance. The step count is updated periodically. For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.\n\nAuto Goal Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during the day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal .\n\nIf you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set personalized step and floors climbed goals on your Garmin Connect account.\n\nActivity Tracking 19\n\nUsing the Move Alert \nSitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds \nyou to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, a message appears, and the red bar appears on the steps \nglance. Additional segments appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration is \nturned on (System Settings, page 49). \nGo for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert. \nSleep Tracking \nWhile you are sleeping, the watch automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your \nnormal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account. \nSleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your \nsleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account. \nNOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications \nand alerts, with the exception of alarms (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 4). \nIntensity Minutes \nTo improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes \nper week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity \nactivity, such as running. \nThe watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous \nintensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of \nmoderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes \nare doubled when added. \nEarning Intensity Minutes \nYour Venu 2 series watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting \nheart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps \nper minute. \n• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. \n• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. \n\n##### Garmin Move IQ ™\n\nWhen your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or newsfeed.

See our ethics statement.\n\nIn the great pantheon of gadgets we attach to our wrists, two categories have jumped to the front: smartwatches and sports watches. Smartwatches are sleek and more for the day-to-day, but they typically suffer horrible battery life. Sports watches are tougher, longer-lasting, and, well, sportier, but they tend to be big, bulky, and ugly. The Garmin Venu 2 is an attempt to close the gap between the two product categories — and while it isn’t perfect, it’s the closest anyone has come yet.\n\n7.5\n\nVerge Score\n\n### Garmin Venu 2\n\n$400\n\n$400\n\n#### The Good\n\nBright, sharp display\n\n#### The Bad\n\nNo onboard maps\n\n$400 at Amazon$400 at Garmin$400 at Best Buy\n\nHow we rate and review products\n\nLet’s start with the body. There are two sizes to choose from. The standard Venu 2 comes in at 45mm (1.77 inches), and the Venu 2S is 40mm (1.58 inches). Both watches cost the same $400 and are effectively identical, but the 2S has a slightly smaller screen (1.1 inches versus 1.3 inches) and a nominally shorter battery life. I thought the regular Venu 2 looked good on me, but smaller-wristed people should go for the S. Right up front, the watches have a bright and colorful OLED touchscreen. It’s sharp and clear, and I was able to clearly read it even in bright, direct sunlight while running.\n\nThere are only two physical buttons, both on the right side of the watch. The top button is the activity start / stop button, and long-pressing will get you right to you a circle of shortcuts for settings and apps. The bottom button is the back button, but it also doubles as a manual lap / set trigger, and long-pressing will get you into your settings.\n\nThe rest of the UI is navigated by touch, and it actually doesn’t suck! That may sound like a low bar to clear, but the vast majority of smartwatch user interfaces are objectively awful. In contrast, Garmin’s is simple and intuitive. It borrows heavily from its sports watches like the Fenix 6 and the Enduro— including its excellent widgets that provide just enough info — you just navigate it with a touchscreen now.\n\nThe Venu 2 is sleeker and more understated than Garmin’s other watches, such as the Fenix 6 seen here on the right. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThe watch itself is understated and attractive. It’s low-profile enough that it doesn’t catch on sleeves, and you could even get away with wearing it for formal occasions. Changing straps is quick and easy; there are plenty of classy leather type options in addition to the typical workout-focused straps.\n\nFortunately, it’s outdoorsier than it looks. In addition to being waterproof to 5 atmospheres (about 164 feet), it has basically every sensor you could want, including: GPS and GLONASS for satellite positioning, a barometric altimeter for elevation, a compass for positioning, a gyroscope and accelerometer for motion tracking, a thermometer, ambient light sensor, a heart rate monitor, and pulse oximeter. All of those work very well. The heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter represent the first use of Garmin’s new Elevate V4 sensor suite, which has upgraded infrared sensors (as well as more sensors) for better accuracy. It tracked my runs and hikes accurately, and the heart rate monitor was almost as accurate as the chest strap I wore (the Wahoo Tickr, which also has been excellent in my testing).\n\nOn the smartwatch side, the Venu 2 checks most of the boxes, though there’s nothing particularly revolutionary about it. It displays notifications from your smartphone, be it Android or iOS. If you’re using Android (I was testing with my trusty Google Pixel 5), you can quick-reply to text messages and other notifications (you can program your own quick-replies via the app), which is handy when a Yes / No / ”Call you back in a bit” will do. This works fine with texts, but when I tried this with Gmail messages, the replies never actually went through, despite it saying it had been sent on the watch screen. For what it’s worth, Apple would prefer you buy the Apple Watch, so it does not allow you to reply to text messages via any third-party watch, which is annoying.\n\nYou can reply to incoming messages from the Venu 2 — if you’re using with an Android phone. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThe Venu 2 has an NFC radio and Garmin Pay, which allows you to store credit card info on the watch and tap to pay when you’re without your phone / wallet. It can also store music (there’s enough storage for up to 650 songs) and pair directly with Bluetooth earbuds. Getting the watch set up with Spotify was a bit of a pain, but once that was done, I was able to quickly download a whole playlist and head out sans phone.\n\nWhile most smartwatches top out around a day of battery life (maybe two if you’re conservative), the Venu 2 boasts 11 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (10 days for the Venu 2S), which is excellent. Obviously, using the GPS for activity tracking will take a good bite out of that, and I always did a mix of both, but even with logging all of my GPS workouts, the battery never lasted less than eight days between charges. That ends up being a big deal for your 24 / 7 health tracking metrics. The Venu 2 has very detailed sleep tracking, as well as heart rate, respiration rate, and more, and it’s really nice to get a week-plus of uninterrupted measurements without having to worry about taking it off to charge.\n\nIt’s worth noting that there are some smartwatch features the Venu 2 does not have, which would be stock on something like Apple Watches or Google’s Wear OS. It doesn’t have any kind of voice assistant built in. In fact, it doesn’t even have a mic or a speaker, so there are no voice calls or voice commands. There are a lot of customizable watchfaces to choose from, and it can display your upcoming calendar events, but you can’t add or edit events from the watch. Basically, it’s smart-ish, but there are sacrifices.\n\nThe Venu 2 can coach you through a number of workouts. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nOn the sports watch side, there are about 30 activities you can choose from, including running, walking, hiking, pool swim, strength training, snowboarding, skiing, and others, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to the offerings from most dedicated sports watches, including the Garmin Enduro or Fenix 6. For example, there is no option for trail running, open water swimming, or surfing (which are some of my most common workouts), and there isn’t really a good reason why. The Venu 2 has all the necessary sensors, and it has plenty of storage for those tiny apps.\n\nThe Venu 2 also lacks not only maps but even a simple track-back feature for runs and hikes to help you find your way back to your starting point, something I sorely missed when I got lost on a run and ended up straining my knee while finding my way back. It does have a “Back to Start” feature, but that just tells you your distance back to your starting place and has an arrow to point you in the (allegedly) right direction. In practice, it’s essentially useless. Because it doesn’t display the path you took, the arrow would frequently lead me down dead-end streets. Often, it pointed in the exact opposite direction of where I started, even though the distance was consistent. This leads you to play colder / hotter as you’re trying to find your way back. It’s just bad.\n\nThe Venu 2 has no onboard maps and its “Back to Start” breadcrumb feature does not work well. Photo by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nThese are some big omissions in my book, and it seems like Garmin only made these choices because it doesn’t want to cannibalize its sales of its higher-end sports watches, which is extremely disappointing. This watch could attract far more people if it just included more apps. For me, the lack of my favorite workouts would be a deal-breaker, but that begs the question: who is this watch really intended for? It includes things like treadmill, indoor rowing, yoga, Pilates, stair stepper, and indoor climbing, but not kayaking or mountain biking. The watch also has downloadable HIIT and strength training workouts with a muscle map to show you what you’re going to work, clever animations to guide you, and automatic rep counting, but there is no attempt at outdoor route-finding or navigation.\n\nIt seems like this watch is more aimed for city folk rather than those who want to get out in the dirt. Garmin effectively confirmed that to me, saying the Venu 2 was designed for more of an “active lifestyle” versus an adventure / outdoor customer in mind.\n\nIf you look at the list of activities and you see that all of your favorites are covered, then this watch is liable to be an excellent workout companion for you. The smart features are nice, the battery life is fantastic, and the activity tracking is highly accurate.\n\nBut if you, like me, prefer to get your exercise out in nature, then it’s worth shelling out the extra money for a Fenix 6. It’s a real shame because this watch could have been great for both, and it would be a better fit for far more people if it just had more activity options. We’ll update this review if Garmin has a change of heart and fixes that with a software update, but I wouldn’t hold your meticulously tracked breath.\n\n## Agree to Continue: Garmin Venu 2\n\nEvery smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads. It’s impossible for us to read and analyze every single one of these agreements. But we started counting exactly how many times you have to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate.\n\nTo use the Garmin Venu 2 or 2S, you must agree to the company’s terms of use and the end user licensing agreement for the Connect App. If you want to use the watch’s built-in Garmin Pay system, you have to also agree to the terms and conditions for that.\n\nFinal tally: two mandatory agreements, one optional agreement.\n\nPhotography by Brent Rose for The Verge\n\nFollow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.\n\nBrent Rose\n\nReviews\n\nSmartwatch Reviews\n\nTech\n\nWearable\n\n## Most Popular\n\nMost Popular\n\nMeta launches cheaper smart glasses without Ray-Ban\n\nThe best Prime Day deals we found on our favorite gear\n\nThe Steam Machine is the most ambitious game console I’ve ever played\n\nValve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop\n\n1.

You must have a heart rate monitor to use the features described in this section. fēnix 3: This device is compatible with ANT+\n\n®\n\nheart rate\n\nmonitors. fēnix 3 HR: This device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is also compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitors. You\n\nIntroduction 1\n\ncan view wrist-based heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and ANT+ heart rate data are available, your device uses the ANT+ heart rate data.\n\nWrist-based Heart Rate Wearing the Device and Heart Rate\n\n• Wear the fēnix 3 device above your wrist bone. NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable, and it should not move while running or exercising. \n\nNOTE: The heart rate sensor is located on the back of the device.\n\n• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 2 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. \nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the device. \n• Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the device. \n• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should be snug but comfortable. \n• Wait until the icon is solid before starting your activity. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading before starting your activity. NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors. \n• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout. \nViewing the Heart Rate Widget \nThe widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute \n(bpm), your resting heart rate for today, and a graph of your \nheart rate. \n1 From the clock, select DOWN. \n\n2 Select START to view your average resting heart rate values for the last 7 days.\n\nBroadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices You can broadcast your heart rate data from your fēnix 3 device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge\n\n®\n\ndevice while cycling, or to a VIRB\n\n®\n\naction camera during an activity. \nNOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Broadcast \nHR. \n\n3 Select an option:\n\n• Select In App to broadcast heart rate during timed activities (Starting an Activity, page 6). \n• Select Now to start broadcasting heart rate data now. \n\nThe fēnix 3 device starts broadcasting your heart rate data, and appears. NOTE: You can view only the heart rate widget while broadcasting heart rate data. 4 Pair your fēnix 3 device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device. NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop and hook connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nwhile running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 23). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time\n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | | | <6.1% | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | | | >10.1% | | >308 ms | | |\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nColor Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red \nSymmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor \nPercent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5% \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require wrist-based heart rate or a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score requires a chest heart rate monitor. Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can pair your device with a compatible power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This\n\n4 Heart Rate Features\n\nprojection also presumes you have completed the proper \ntraining for the race. \nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device \nrequires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. \nYour projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, \nand marathon distances. \nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate.\n\n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. \n3 Select an outdoor running profile. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 21), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nActivities Your device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device has separate heart rate zones for running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.

You must have a heart rate monitor to use the features described in this section. fēnix 3: This device is compatible with ANT+\n\n®\n\nheart rate\n\nmonitors. fēnix 3 HR: This device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is also compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitors. You\n\nIntroduction 1\n\ncan view wrist-based heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and ANT+ heart rate data are available, your device uses the ANT+ heart rate data.\n\nWrist-based Heart Rate Wearing the Device and Heart Rate\n\n• Wear the fēnix 3 device above your wrist bone. NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable, and it should not move while running. \n• Do not damage the heart rate sensor on the back of the device. \n• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 2 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. \nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen under the device. \n• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should be snug but comfortable. NOTE: You can try wearing the device higher on your forearm. You can try wearing the device on your other arm. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading before starting your activity. NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors. \n• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout. \nViewing the Heart Rate Widget \nThe widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute \n(bpm), your lowest resting heart rate for today, and a graph of \nyour heart rate. \n1 From the clock, select DOWN. \n\n2 Select START to view your average resting heart rate values for the last 7 days.\n\nBroadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices You can broadcast your heart rate data from your fēnix 3 device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge\n\n®\n\ndevice while cycling, or to a VIRB\n\n®\n\naction camera during an activity. \nNOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Broadcast \nHR. \nThe fēnix 3 device starts broadcasting your heart rate data, \nand appears. \n\nNOTE: You can view only the heart rate widget while broadcasting heart rate data. 3 Pair your fēnix 3 device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device. NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes À on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop Á and hook  connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 22). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nVertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The HRM-Run accessory has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters for each step. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time is not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nPurple >95 >183 spm <6.4 cm <6.1% <218 ms \nBlue 70–95 174–183 spm 6.4–8.1 cm 6.1–7.4% 218–248 ms \nGreen 30–69 164–173 spm 8.2–9.7 cm 7.5–8.6% 249–277 ms \nOrange 5–29 153–163 spm 9.8–11.5 cm 8.7–10.1% 278–308 ms \nRed <5 <153 spm >11.5 cm >10.1% >308 ms \n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | <6.1% | | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | >10.1% | | | >308 ms | | |\n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with \ncertain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. \nMost running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. \n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nYou can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor to display your running VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 4 Heart Rate Features\n\nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.\n\nRecovery Advisor \nYou can use your Garmin device with a heart rate monitor to \ndisplay how much time remains before you are fully recovered \nand ready for the next hard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, \npage 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with a heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate. 1 Hold UP. 2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. 3 Select an outdoor running profile. GPS is required to complete the test. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions.\n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. You can use an ANT+ heart rate monitor or a device with wrist-based heart rate. 1 If necessary, pair your compatible ANT+ sensor with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). 2 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 3 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 4 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 20), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\n##### Activities\n\nYour device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities.

Training Effect accumulates during the activity. \nAs the activity progresses, the training effect value increases, \ntelling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training \nEffect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate, \nduration, and intensity of your activity. \nIt is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (from \n1.0 to 5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few runs. \nIt takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic \nfitness. \nTraining Effect Description \nFrom 1.0 to 1.9 Helps recovery (short activities). Improves endurance \nwith longer activities (longer than 40 min.). \nFrom 2.0 to 2.9 Maintains your aerobic fitness. \nFrom 3.0 to 3.9 Improves your aerobic fitness if repeated as part of \nyour weekly training program. \nFrom 4.0 to 4.9 Highly improves your aerobic fitness if repeated one \nor two times per week with adequate recovery time. \n5.0 Causes temporary overload with high improvement. \nTrain up to this number with extreme care. Requires \nadditional recovery days. \nTraining effect technology is provided and supported by \nFirstbeat Technologies Ltd.

NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop and hook connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nwhile running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 23). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time\n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | | | <6.1% | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | | | >10.1% | | >308 ms | | |\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nColor Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red \nSymmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor \nPercent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5% \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require wrist-based heart rate or a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score requires a chest heart rate monitor. Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device requires wrist based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can pair your device with a compatible power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This\n\n4 Heart Rate Features\n\nprojection also presumes you have completed the proper \ntraining for the race. \nNOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device \nrequires a few runs to learn about your running performance. \nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. \nYour projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, \nand marathon distances. \nRecovery Time \nYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a \ncompatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time \nremains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next \nhard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate.\n\n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. \n3 Select an outdoor running profile. \nGPS is required to complete the test. \n4 Follow the on-screen instructions. \n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. 1 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 21), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\nActivities Your device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.\n\nAbout Heart Rate Zones Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device has separate heart rate zones for running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.

With feature sets for fitness training plus feature sets for outdoor navigation, fēnix 3 is ready for any training activity and competition. Access to the[Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) platform allows customization of watch faces and data fields and provides downloadable widgets and apps.\n[![Embedded YouTube video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tHqBdfvfU4E/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqBdfvfU4E)\n \n## Serious Style That Stands Up to the Roughest Conditions\nfēnix 3 Sapphire watches are available in 5 different styles: rose gold-tone with white band, silver with leather band, gray with leather strap, titanium and the classic metal. Each watch features a protective bezel and reinforced housing for extra durability. A sunlight-visible, high-resolution color Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlight lets you access your data in any light. fēnix 3 is [water-rated to 100 meters](http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating) and has a battery life of up to 50 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode, up to 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode (all depending on settings)\n \n## Advanced Fitness Metrics\nfēnix 3 watch is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, fēnix 3 crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a race predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.\n \n## Advanced Running Dynamics and Physiological Metrics\nGo further with your running data and tap into extended physiological metrics and advanced running dynamics¹. When used with a heart rate monitor, fēnix 3 reports the following data:\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_Black_1.jpg)\n* Vertical oscillation and ratio — the degree of 'bounce' in your running motion and the benefit ratio to stride length\n* Ground contact and balance — shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry\n* Cadence — number of steps per minute\n* Stride length — determines a responsive current pace\n* Physiological metrics measure your heart to provide:\n* Stress score: fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levels.\n* Performance condition: After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels.\n* Lactate threshold: Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_swim-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_row-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_par-2.jpg)\n \n## Swim Profile, Ski/Board Mode, Rowing and Golf\nfēnix 3 HR watch isn’t just for running; special feature sets help swim training, skiing, golfing and paddle sports, including stand up paddle boarding and rowing. Borrowing from the Garmin Swim™ device, fēnix 3 tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. You just tell fēnix 3 the size of the pool you’re swimming in and begin your workout. Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. The feature set for paddle sports includes stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke. Golf mode gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any single course you’ve downloaded from Garmin Connect™. You can even use your fēnix 3 as a glove-friendly remote, via ANT+® wireless connectivity, for VIRB® action cameras.\n \n## Navigate Your Way\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_alt.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten path using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass). TracBack feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.\nIt records a GPS track log, creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With fēnix 3, you can create and follow courses as well.\nfēnix 3 is equipped with both ANT+ connectivity and Bluetooth®³ smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.\n \n## Altimeter, Barometer and Compass\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_nav.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant, real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.\nfēnix 3 auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an accurate temperature reading, pair it with our [tempe](https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod107335.html)™ external temperature sensor.\n \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_accuweather.jpg)\n## Custom Apps and Watch Faces\nPersonalize fēnix 3 watch with free downloads from our [Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) store.

With feature sets for fitness training plus feature sets for outdoor navigation, fēnix 3 is ready for any training activity and competition. Access to the[Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) platform allows customization of watch faces and data fields and provides downloadable widgets and apps.\n[![Embedded YouTube video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tHqBdfvfU4E/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqBdfvfU4E)\n \n## Serious Style That Stands Up to the Roughest Conditions\nfēnix 3 Sapphire watches are available in 5 different styles: rose gold-tone with white band, silver with leather band, gray with leather strap, titanium and the classic metal. Each watch features a protective bezel and reinforced housing for extra durability. A sunlight-visible, high-resolution color Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlight lets you access your data in any light. fēnix 3 is [water-rated to 100 meters](http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating) and has a battery life of up to 50 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode, up to 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode (all depending on settings)\n \n## Advanced Fitness Metrics\nfēnix 3 watch is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, fēnix 3 crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a race predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.\n \n## Advanced Running Dynamics and Physiological Metrics\nGo further with your running data and tap into extended physiological metrics and advanced running dynamics¹. When used with a heart rate monitor, fēnix 3 reports the following data:\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/sg/g/products/fenix3-titanium-silver-image-01.png)\n* Vertical oscillation and ratio — the degree of 'bounce' in your running motion and the benefit ratio to stride length\n* Ground contact and balance — shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry\n* Cadence — number of steps per minute\n* Stride length — determines a responsive current pace\n* Physiological metrics measure your heart to provide:\n* Stress score: fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levels.\n* Performance condition: After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels.\n* Lactate threshold: Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_swim-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_row-2.jpg) ![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_par-2.jpg)\n \n## Swim Profile, Ski/Board Mode, Rowing and Golf\nfēnix 3 HR watch isn’t just for running; special feature sets help swim training, skiing, golfing and paddle sports, including stand up paddle boarding and rowing. Borrowing from the Garmin Swim™ device, fēnix 3 tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. You just tell fēnix 3 the size of the pool you’re swimming in and begin your workout. Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. The feature set for paddle sports includes stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke. Golf mode gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any single course you’ve downloaded from Garmin Connect™. You can even use your fēnix 3 as a glove-friendly remote, via ANT+® wireless connectivity, for VIRB® action cameras.\n \n## Navigate Your Way\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_alt.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten path using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass). TracBack feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.\nIt records a GPS track log, creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With fēnix 3, you can create and follow courses as well.\nfēnix 3 is equipped with both ANT+ connectivity and Bluetooth®³ smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.\n \n## Altimeter, Barometer and Compass\n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_nav.jpg)\nfēnix 3 watch is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant, real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.\nfēnix 3 auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an accurate temperature reading, pair it with our [tempe](https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/prod107335.html)™ external temperature sensor.\n \n![](https://www.garmin.com.my/m/th/g/products/Fenix_3_Titanium_accuweather.jpg)\n## Custom Apps and Watch Faces\nPersonalize fēnix 3 watch with free downloads from our [Connect IQ](https://apps.garmin.com/) store.

You must have a heart rate monitor to use the features described in this section. fēnix 3: This device is compatible with ANT+\n\n®\n\nheart rate\n\nmonitors. fēnix 3 HR: This device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is also compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitors. You\n\nIntroduction 1\n\ncan view wrist-based heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and ANT+ heart rate data are available, your device uses the ANT+ heart rate data.\n\nWrist-based Heart Rate Wearing the Device and Heart Rate\n\n• Wear the fēnix 3 device above your wrist bone. NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable, and it should not move while running. \n• Do not damage the heart rate sensor on the back of the device. \n• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 2 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. \nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device. \n• Avoid wearing sunscreen under the device. \n• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should be snug but comfortable. NOTE: You can try wearing the device higher on your forearm. You can try wearing the device on your other arm. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading before starting your activity. NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors. \n• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout. \nViewing the Heart Rate Widget \nThe widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute \n(bpm), your lowest resting heart rate for today, and a graph of \nyour heart rate. \n1 From the clock, select DOWN. \n\n2 Select START to view your average resting heart rate values for the last 7 days.\n\nBroadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices You can broadcast your heart rate data from your fēnix 3 device and view it on paired Garmin devices. For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge\n\n®\n\ndevice while cycling, or to a VIRB\n\n®\n\naction camera during an activity. \nNOTE: Broadcasting heart rate data decreases battery life. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Broadcast \nHR. \nThe fēnix 3 device starts broadcasting your heart rate data, \nand appears. \n\nNOTE: You can view only the heart rate widget while broadcasting heart rate data. 3 Pair your fēnix 3 device with your Garmin ANT+ compatible device. NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin compatible device. See your owner's manual. TIP: To stop broadcasting your heart rate data, select any key, and select Yes.\n\nTurning Off the Wrist Heart Rate Monitor \nFor the fēnix 3 HR, the default value for the Wrist Heart Rate \nsetting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based \nheart rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to \nthe device. \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select Settings > Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate > Off. \nPutting On the Heart Rate Monitor \nYou should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just \nbelow your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place \nduring your activity. \n1 If necessary, attach the strap extender to the heart rate \nmonitor. \n2 Wet the electrodes À on the back of the heart rate monitor to \ncreate a strong connection between your chest and the \ntransmitter. \n\n3 Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right side up.\n\nThe loop Á and hook  connection should be on your right side. 4 Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect the strap hook to the loop. NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over. After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending data.\n\nTips for Erratic Heart Rate Data \nIf the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try \nthese tips. \n• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable). \n• Tighten the strap on your chest. \n• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. \n• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 22). \n• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. \n\n2 Heart Rate Features\n\nVertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.\n\n• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points. \nTraining with Running Dynamics \nBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on the \nHRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ \nSensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the \naccessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set \nto display running dynamics. \n1 Select an option: \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already paired, skip to step 8. \n• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure. 2 Hold UP. 3 Select Settings > Apps. 4 Select an activity. 5 Select Data Screens. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen. \nNOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for \nall activities. \n7 Select Status > Enabled. \n8 Go for a run (Going for a Run, page 6). \n9 Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to \nview your metrics. \n\nRunning Dynamics You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the HRM-Run ™ accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired. The HRM-Run accessory has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters for each step. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time is not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.\n\nColor Gauges and Running Dynamics Data \nThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground \ncontact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running \ndynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. \nGarmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less \nexperienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster \nrunners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and \nhigher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and \nslightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. \nNOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 3). \nGo to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics \ndata, you can search reputable running publications and websites. \nColor Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Vertical Ratio Ground Contact Time Range \nPurple >95 >183 spm <6.4 cm <6.1% <218 ms \nBlue 70–95 174–183 spm 6.4–8.1 cm 6.1–7.4% 218–248 ms \nGreen 30–69 164–173 spm 8.2–9.7 cm 7.5–8.6% 249–277 ms \nOrange 5–29 153–163 spm 9.8–11.5 cm 8.7–10.1% 278–308 ms \nRed <5 <153 spm >11.5 cm >10.1% >308 ms \n\n| | Purple | >95 | | >183 spm | | | <6.4 cm | | | | | | <6.1% | | | <218 ms | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Blue | 70–95 | | 174–183 spm | | | 6.4–8.1 cm | | | | | | 6.1–7.4% | | | 218–248 ms | | |\n| | Green | 30–69 | | 164–173 spm | | | 8.2–9.7 cm | | | | | | 7.5–8.6% | | | 249–277 ms | | |\n| | Orange | 5–29 | | 153–163 spm | | | 9.8–11.5 cm | | | | | | 8.7–10.1% | | | 278–308 ms | | |\n| | Red | <5 | | <153 spm | | | >11.5 cm | | | | | | >10.1% | | | >308 ms | | |\n\n| Color Zone | | | | Red | Orange | | | | Green | | | | | Orange | | Red | | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Symmetry | | | | Poor | Fair | | | Good | | | | | Fair | | | Poor | | |\n| Percent of Other Runners | | | | 5% | 25% | | | 40% | | | | | 25% | | | 5% | | |\n\nGround Contact Time Balance Data \nGround contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For \nexample, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your \ndata screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. \nGround Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R \nWhile developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with \ncertain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. \nMost running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. \n\nHeart Rate Features 3\n\nYou can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.\n\nTips for Missing Running Dynamics Data If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.\n\n• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory. Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. \n• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again, according to the instructions. \n• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. \n\nPhysiological Measurements These physiological measurements require a compatible heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Stress score: Stress score measures your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level. Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level. Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.\n\nAbout VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor to display your running VO2 max. estimate. Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge.\n\nPurple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red Poor VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute\n\n®\n\n. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 26), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors. 2 After your run, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Running. Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 2 After your ride, select Save. 3 Hold UP. 4 Select My Stats > VO2 Max. > Cycling.\n\nViewing Your Predicted Race Times This feature requires a heart rate monitor. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race. NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. 4 Heart Rate Features\n\nSelect UP > My Stats > Race Predictor. Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.\n\nRecovery Advisor \nYou can use your Garmin device with a heart rate monitor to \ndisplay how much time remains before you are fully recovered \nand ready for the next hard workout. \nRecovery time: The recovery time appears immediately \nfollowing an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal \nfor you to attempt another hard workout. \nTurning On the Recovery Advisor \nFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup \n(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your \nmaximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, \npage 9). \n1 Hold UP. \n2 Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On. \n3 Go for a run. \nAfter 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears \n(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 5). \n4 After your run, select Save. \nThe recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days. \n\nRecovery Heart Rate If you are training with a heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.\n\nLactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). TIP: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate. 1 Hold UP. 2 Select My Stats > Lactate Threshold > Do Guided Test. 3 Select an outdoor running profile. GPS is required to complete the test. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions.\n\nPerformance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 4). Viewing Your Performance Condition Your device analyzes your performance condition based on heart rate and power data. You can use an ANT+ heart rate monitor or a device with wrist-based heart rate. 1 If necessary, pair your compatible ANT+ sensor with your fēnix 3 device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 20). 2 Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 17). 3 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 4 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.\n\nStress Score \nStress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while \nstanding still, where the fēnix 3 device analyzes heart rate \nvariability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, \nnutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner \nperforms. The stress score range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a \nvery low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. \nKnowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is \nready for a tough training run or yoga. \nViewing Your Stress Score \nBefore you can view your stress score, you must put on a heart \nrate monitor, pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, \npage 20), and show the stress score app in the apps list \n(Activity App Settings, page 17). \nTIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at \napproximately the same time and under the same conditions \nevery day. \n1 From the clock, select START. \n2 Select Stress Score. \n3 Select START. \n4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. \n\n##### Activities\n\nYour device can be used for indoor, outdoor, athletic, and fitness activities. When you start an activity, the device displays and records sensor data. You can save activities and share them with the Garmin Connect community. You can also add Connect IQ ™ activity apps to your device using your Garmin Connect account (Connect IQ Features, page 16).\n\nStarting an Activity When you start an activity, GPS turns on automatically (if required).

FitContributor with Data Field WITHOUT having to create entire App? - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n URL: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/4758/fitcontributor-with-data-field-without-having-to-create-entire-app\n FitContributor with Data Field WITHOUT having to create entire App? - Connect IQ App Development Discussion - Connect IQ - Garmin Forums\n\n- Replies 26 replies\n- Subscribers 15 subscribers\n- Views 8520 views\n- Users 0 members are here\n\nOptions\n\nRelated\n\n# FitContributor with Data Field WITHOUT having to create entire App?\n\nI need to do something very simple without having to write the code for an entire app. I've created a ConnectIQ Data Field which can easily be added to the pre-existing Garmin Run activity to show ANT+ sensor Power in watts from a force sensor in the running shoe, just like you would inside the Bike activity if you were riding with an ANT+ power meter. This combination with the Run activity allows combination of watts with Running Dynamics fields already available from the Garmin run strap. It works just find for display on the watch, but does not save to the pre-existing .FIT file generation within Garmin's own Run activity. Of course, it can work with the Bike app and save the power in watts, but then the running dynamics are not available there. Is there any way to use the FitContributor module to simply add this additional Power field to all the other ones already being recording in the Run activity .FIT file? I know you can do this by writing a complete app like the Moxy Sample, but this is for lots of fields in a truly unique configuration and I just need to add one field to the one-second record for power in watts. It says in the documentation that FitContributor works for a Data Field and App, but it does not say a Data Field WITHOUT creating a custom Watch App. Any thoughts? Great stuff in the forum on how to use FitContributor with Apps like Moxy sample, but not something simpler. Before I try it on my own, to strip Moxy way down to work as a Data Field for only one value, I'd like to know if it's even possible. Thanks, Ironman.Texas\n\n- Sign in to reply\n- Cancel\n\n## Top Replies\n\n- As with my own SimpleDataField app, the MFuel displays fine and shows data in the simulator or while doing a Run workout from the watch, since it's based on a simple calorie version, which I understand…\n\n## All Replies\n\nThis should give you the basis of what you need, https://github.com/lcj2/ciq_monkeyfuel. It won't include the ANT piece you have but shows the FIT contributor in a data field. Since you are using power, you'll want to brush up on the use of native field mapping so that sites like strava, training peaks, sporttracks will use your power data in calculations. If after you review it and have more questions let me know but the answer to your question is that FIT contributor supports data fields. **NOTE** There are a couple FIT recording issues depending on the device for session and last lap but those are outside the developers control and have been reported for correction. You can review the bug report thread for the information.\n\n> It says in the documentation that FitContributor works for a Data Field and App, but it does not say a Data Field WITHOUT creating a custom Watch App.\n\nA Data field is one of the 4 \"app types\" in CIQ. Watch-App is another (a full blown, stand-alone app) (watchface and widget are the other two) You can use FitContrib in a data filed that's used in something like the native cycling app. A CIQ (or native) DF actually can not be used in a CIQ watch-app.\n\nThanks for the code references from GitHub. These are proving very helpful--I can just cut out most of what I don't need, because I only need ANT+ Power and its derivatives like Average Power. So if I successfully implement the FitContributor code segments for ANT+ Power, Average Power, and Lap Power in a DATA FIELD App, such as the Monkey Fuel example, will I then be able to load these 3 as Connect IQ data fields into the NATIVE Run app data screens. In other words, I would have a display that would show things like Average HR, Power, Lap Power and Average Pace (Run) on one data screen, and then save all of these to a .FIT file that would show up in Garmin connect as a RUN Activity? I want to avoid having to recalculate and/or recode all the other native data elements of the run app like Cadence, Average Cadence, Vertical Oscillation, Ground Contact Time, etc., and just develop my own additional Power data fields. Thanks, IronmanTexas\n\n> will I then be able to load these 3 as Connect IQ data fields into the NATIVE Run app data screens.\n\nYes. You are implementing a data field. It just displays a bit of data to be shown inside a native app. You control the data that is shown in your data field on the watch screen, and you control what additional data is written to the .FIT file and displayed in Garmin Connect.\n\nCan't get MonkeyFuel to record anything viewable from Garmin Connect\n\n> This should give you the basis of what you need, https://github.com/lcj2/ciq_monkeyfuel.

You can review the bug report thread for the information.\n\nI'm new to the Connect IQ environment, so forgive me if I seem stupid. At first, I seemed to able to follow your code, but I still can't seem to get any additional data fields into a .FIT file for pre-existing Garmin Run App (on a 735xt or 920xt, the two I own and can test on) to show up from FIT files recorded either from the watch with a sideloaded data field or from the Connect IQ Simulator when I record the data. All that show up are there pre-existing run data fields. The MonkeyFuel app successfully builds, and creates the PRG and debug files, but also creates two more .JSON files in the bin folder (what are these for? I can guess, but no other sample app I've seen uses these). It loads into the watch and runs on the simulator, but I can't find any evidence of that field getting recorded. Is there some way I can check for this other than Garmin Connect or other web-based apps that read FIT files? As with my own SimpleDataField app, the MFuel displays fine and shows data in the simulator or while doing a Run workout from the watch, since it's based on a simple calorie version, which I understand. But like my own Power data field, there is no recording that I can find in the .FIT file. Could it be in there but just not showing up in GarminConnect? Does Garmin Connect make a prior restraint on adding any new data displays to something like a Running workout? Will I have to make up my own new sport, write a dedicated Watch App just get the one Power data field to record with traditional running metrics? Laps seem to have no effect, either, do not show up at all, just the regular Run lap like time or average pace for the lap. No way to see Monkey Fuel per lap that I can find or average MFuel for a session, not on the watch itself of the FIT file.\n\n> I still can't seem to get any additional data fields into a .FIT file for pre-existing Garmin Run App\n\nHow are you looking for the data? Are you loading it up in monkeygraph utility or dumping it with one of the FIT file utilities that come with the FIT SDK?\n\n> As with my own SimpleDataField app, the MFuel displays fine and shows data in the simulator or while doing a Run workout from the watch, since it's based on a simple calorie version, which I understand.

All of your FIT file analysis for the simulator or side loaded apps will need to happen with Monkey Graph or the FIT to CSV tool from the FIT SDK. How are you determining that no data is in the file?\n\n> Laps seem to have no effect, either, do not show up at all, just the regular Run lap like time or average pace for the lap.

This issue has been reported and hopefully is being worked on.\n\nProblems getting monkeygraph to work with ANY app\n\n> How are you looking for the data? Are you loading it up in monkeygraph utility or dumping it with one of the FIT file utilities that come with the FIT SDK?\n\nThanks for all the help. After using the FitSDK tools, I can now see my Power data fields for Record and Lap in the .FIT file once its converted to CSV form. Everything looks fine. But now, I can't seem to get ANY sample app or my own app to work with monkeygraph. I have used the App Export Wizard to create the IQ zipped up package, started monkeygraph from within Eclipse, then loaded both the exported IQ and generated FIT file using the File command in that window (FIT file generated from app sideloaded to the 735xt watch, not from the Simulator). Nothing happens in the PC window for Monkeygraph. I did the same thing with the Monkey Fuel sample app you suggested, which like my own is showing up fine in the .FIT file tabulation, but does nothing within monkeygraph. Then I tried running monkeygraph.bat from the command line, and I got a rather long list of not-good looking output which I don't fully understand (see output below). So apparently, I'm just not using monkeygraph right. Do all files like IQ, FIT and monkeygraph need to be in the same directory? Do I need to be passing other command line parameters to monkeygraph? Is there some more comprehensive documentation on monkeygraph? All I can find is in the forum, where no one seems to have trouble, and the main HTML documentation just a few suggestions to use it--not how or how to fix problems with it. One more question: many people in the forum get monkeygraph to work fine, then do NOT get Garmin Connect to show the FIT charts successfully. When I export to the IQ and upload to the store, is there a way to submit NOT for publication checking by Garmin but just show I can check as a developer if it truly works. I am doing everything in my resource and manifest file just like Monkey Fuel and the other sample apps--though mine is much simpler, just one data field, power as an integer, and one unit, watts. Really, my data field app is very simple, and treats running power just as if it came from a bike power meter--and it will work/test with a bike-connected ANT+ power meter as well. Really, I'm just taking a bike native field, Power in watts, and moving it into the Run native app as a ConnectIQ data field so it can be shown with things like cadence, GCT and Vertical Oscillation from the HRM/Run strap.

Depending on the device, writes to the FIT file may occur once per second or when new data is available (Smart Recording). Best practice is to only call setData() when values have changed to accommodate Smart Recording.\n\nIf setData() is called before the previous data is written out, the previous value will be lost and replaced by the current data.

Make sure that you see a graph; if not, you know that something is already wrong before you even upload the app to the store and test with Garmin Connect.Also, are you sure you don't want your FIT field to be a float type and not UINT16? I'm guessing that the vertical speed in metres per hour is not always going to be an integral value.And, I assume that your initialization code (createField, etc.) happens your data field initialize() function.

Your code in the OP had toNumber so I'm not sure what else is different except SINT16 instead of UINT16.

This combination with the Run activity allows combination of watts with Running Dynamics fields already available from the Garmin run strap. It works just find for display on the watch, but does not save to the pre-existing .FIT file generation within Garmin's own Run activity. Of course, it can work with the Bike app and save the power in watts, but then the running dynamics are not available there. Is there any way to use the FitContributor module to simply add this additional Power field to all the other ones already being recording in the Run activity .FIT file? I know you can do this by writing a complete app like the Moxy Sample, but this is for lots of fields in a truly unique configuration and I just need to add one field to the one-second record for power in watts. It says in the documentation that FitContributor works for a Data Field and App, but it does not say a Data Field WITHOUT creating a custom Watch App. Any thoughts? Great stuff in the forum on how to use FitContributor with Apps like Moxy sample, but not something simpler. Before I try it on my own, to strip Moxy way down to work as a Data Field for only one value, I'd like to know if it's even possible.

It won't include the ANT piece you have but shows the FIT contributor in a data field. Since you are using power, you'll want to brush up on the use of native field mapping so that sites like strava, training peaks, sporttracks will use your power data in calculations. If after you review it and have more questions let me know but the answer to your question is that FIT contributor supports data fields. **NOTE** There are a couple FIT recording issues depending on the device for session and last lap but those are outside the developers control and have been reported for correction. You can review the bug report thread for the information.\n\n> It says in the documentation that FitContributor works for a Data Field and App, but it does not say a Data Field WITHOUT creating a custom Watch App.\n\nA Data field is one of the 4 \"app types\" in CIQ. Watch-App is another (a full blown, stand-alone app) (watchface and widget are the other two) You can use FitContrib in a data filed that's used in something like the native cycling app. A CIQ (or native) DF actually can not be used in a CIQ watch-app.\n\nThanks for the code references from GitHub. These are proving very helpful--I can just cut out most of what I don't need, because I only need ANT+ Power and its derivatives like Average Power. So if I successfully implement the FitContributor code segments for ANT+ Power, Average Power, and Lap Power in a DATA FIELD App, such as the Monkey Fuel example, will I then be able to load these 3 as Connect IQ data fields into the NATIVE Run app data screens. In other words, I would have a display that would show things like Average HR, Power, Lap Power and Average Pace (Run) on one data screen, and then save all of these to a .FIT file that would show up in Garmin connect as a RUN Activity? I want to avoid having to recalculate and/or recode all the other native data elements of the run app like Cadence, Average Cadence, Vertical Oscillation, Ground Contact Time, etc., and just develop my own additional Power data fields. Thanks, IronmanTexas\n\n> will I then be able to load these 3 as Connect IQ data fields into the NATIVE Run app data screens.\n\nYes. You are implementing a data field. It just displays a bit of data to be shown inside a native app. You control the data that is shown in your data field on the watch screen, and you control what additional data is written to the .FIT file and displayed in Garmin Connect.\n\nCan't get MonkeyFuel to record anything viewable from Garmin Connect\n\n> This should give you the basis of what you need, https://github.com/lcj2/ciq_monkeyfuel.

You can review the bug report thread for the information.\n\nI'm new to the Connect IQ environment, so forgive me if I seem stupid. At first, I seemed to able to follow your code, but I still can't seem to get any additional data fields into a .FIT file for pre-existing Garmin Run App (on a 735xt or 920xt, the two I own and can test on) to show up from FIT files recorded either from the watch with a sideloaded data field or from the Connect IQ Simulator when I record the data. All that show up are there pre-existing run data fields. The MonkeyFuel app successfully builds, and creates the PRG and debug files, but also creates two more .JSON files in the bin folder (what are these for? I can guess, but no other sample app I've seen uses these). It loads into the watch and runs on the simulator, but I can't find any evidence of that field getting recorded. Is there some way I can check for this other than Garmin Connect or other web-based apps that read FIT files? As with my own SimpleDataField app, the MFuel displays fine and shows data in the simulator or while doing a Run workout from the watch, since it's based on a simple calorie version, which I understand. But like my own Power data field, there is no recording that I can find in the .FIT file. Could it be in there but just not showing up in GarminConnect? Does Garmin Connect make a prior restraint on adding any new data displays to something like a Running workout? Will I have to make up my own new sport, write a dedicated Watch App just get the one Power data field to record with traditional running metrics? Laps seem to have no effect, either, do not show up at all, just the regular Run lap like time or average pace for the lap. No way to see Monkey Fuel per lap that I can find or average MFuel for a session, not on the watch itself of the FIT file.\n\n> I still can't seem to get any additional data fields into a .FIT file for pre-existing Garmin Run App\n\nHow are you looking for the data?

Are you loading it up in monkeygraph utility or dumping it with one of the FIT file utilities that come with the FIT SDK?\n\nThanks for all the help. After using the FitSDK tools, I can now see my Power data fields for Record and Lap in the .FIT file once its converted to CSV form. Everything looks fine. But now, I can't seem to get ANY sample app or my own app to work with monkeygraph. I have used the App Export Wizard to create the IQ zipped up package, started monkeygraph from within Eclipse, then loaded both the exported IQ and generated FIT file using the File command in that window (FIT file generated from app sideloaded to the 735xt watch, not from the Simulator). Nothing happens in the PC window for Monkeygraph. I did the same thing with the Monkey Fuel sample app you suggested, which like my own is showing up fine in the .FIT file tabulation, but does nothing within monkeygraph. Then I tried running monkeygraph.bat from the command line, and I got a rather long list of not-good looking output which I don't fully understand (see output below). So apparently, I'm just not using monkeygraph right. Do all files like IQ, FIT and monkeygraph need to be in the same directory? Do I need to be passing other command line parameters to monkeygraph? Is there some more comprehensive documentation on monkeygraph? All I can find is in the forum, where no one seems to have trouble, and the main HTML documentation just a few suggestions to use it--not how or how to fix problems with it. One more question: many people in the forum get monkeygraph to work fine, then do NOT get Garmin Connect to show the FIT charts successfully. When I export to the IQ and upload to the store, is there a way to submit NOT for publication checking by Garmin but just show I can check as a developer if it truly works. I am doing everything in my resource and manifest file just like Monkey Fuel and the other sample apps--though mine is much simpler, just one data field, power as an integer, and one unit, watts. Really, my data field app is very simple, and treats running power just as if it came from a bike power meter--and it will work/test with a bike-connected ANT+ power meter as well. Really, I'm just taking a bike native field, Power in watts, and moving it into the Run native app as a ConnectIQ data field so it can be shown with things like cadence, GCT and Vertical Oscillation from the HRM/Run strap.

Best practice is to only call setData() when values have changed to accommodate Smart Recording.\n\nIf setData() is called before the previous data is written out, the previous value will be lost and replaced by the current data.

Data fields run in the context of another activity, so they don't have the ability to record FIT files themselves--they just display information in new ways, though the activity in which the data field runs records as it normally would.\n\nYeah, but an app type application has to override a complete garmin app ;-). I just want the datafield to be able to write a record, hope garmin add this in the near future ;-). Regards,\n\nI'm trying to get this to work as well. I followed the bananas earned example on this page:\n\nbut no data is saved for my custom datafield after the activity (walk) is completed and saved. Is there something else that I need to do? Also I set the field ID to 0, but how do I know if this conflicts or not with an existing ID that may be being used , custom or native?\n\nYou need to createField(), and make sure you have the data you want for that field at all times using setData() (I do it in compute() on every call.)\n\nYou need to have the xml file that defines how that data will be displayed in Garmin Connect, and for that data to be displayed, the DF needs to be installed from the app store.\n\nAs far as the field ID, it's really not just a 0. It's a combo of that plus your app ID, so it's only got to be unique in your data field.\n\nThanks,\n\nCan you explain this more ? ==>\n\n>> You need to have the xml file that defines how that data will be displayed in Garmin Connect, and for that data to be displayed\n\nDo I need to create an XML file or does the user do it somehow manually or automatically?\n\nIt's used when you compile to build the fit_contributions.jso which is included in the iq file for the store.\n\nFor example, in a DF initialize(), I have this:\n\nfield=createField(\"piTemp\",0,FitContributor.DATA_TYPE_FLOAT, {:mesgType => FitContributor.MESG_TYPE_RECORD});\n\nin compute, this:\n\nfield.setData(tempValue);\n\nAnd the fitContrib.xml has this:\n\n```\n\r\n \r\n \tTemp\r\n \tF\r\n \tpiTemp\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\n```\n\nThe result is this graph:\n\nI think I followed everything required. I looked in the iq file and there is no fit_contributions.jso file. What could be the cause?\n\nIt will be in a folder for a part number along side the prg.\n\nWhere do you have your xml file? Induce an error in it and rebuild your app. It will give you a warning/error if it's in the proper place.\n\nI looked in a couple of the part number folders. Just to be clear, I have to manually create fitContrib.xml right? Where do I put it? The documentation is not clear on this.\n\nHe goes under resources.

These seem to be mostly fixed by now, but just in case check in both the app and the website.(*) e.g. https://developer.garmin.com/index.php/blog/post/connect-iq-2-the-full-circle\n\n> First, you must enable the FitContributor permission in the manifest file. Next, you need to add your field definitions in your resources using the fitContributions block:` Namastes Namastes N(s) `\n\nThanks, but still not working...I added a resource.xml to the folder resoures:` ` The ID =0: (should therefore be correct.`const VERTICALSPEED_FIELD_ID = 0;` the permission is set in the manifest.xml-I downloaded it via the shop to the watch,-started an app witch contains this DataField,-Sync to Garmin Connect,where I can see my activity but this fitField!!Any hint?\n\nThat was just an example and I'm not sure how much you actually used. You need to define the strings for the chart title, data label and unit label. I'm guessing you already did that otherwise you would get a build error, but I would expect your actual code to look more like this:` Vertical Speed Vertical Speed m/h ` As I mentioned, it would help if you use the MonkeyGraph tool in the SDK to test locally:1) In simulator, record FIT file with your app.Simulation > Simulate DataData Fields > Timer > Start ActivityData Fields > Timer > Stop ActivityData Fields > Timer > Save Activity (this is important)Simulation > Save FIT session2) In Eclipse, export IQ file for appConnect IQ > App Export Wizard3) Start monkeygraphConnect IQ > Start monkeygraphOpen both the IQ file and the FIT file. Make sure that you see a graph; if not, you know that something is already wrong before you even upload the app to the store and test with Garmin Connect.Also, are you sure you don't want your FIT field to be a float type and not UINT16? I'm guessing that the vertical speed in metres per hour is not always going to be an integral value.And, I assume that your initialization code (createField, etc.) happens your data field initialize() function. If you do it at some other point (for whatever reason), it won't work (I've tried it -- long story).\n\nHello FlowState,Tks for your help It is working now!Seems it had a problem with type. string or INT, I do not know so exaclty.VerticalSpeed is rounded to 50 ex 450m/h. so I choosed SINT16had to use ToNumber.()So code is:`function initialize() { DataField.initialize(); // Create the custom FIT data field we want to record. verticalSpeedFitField = DataField.createField( \"vertical_speed\", VERTICALSPEED_FIELD_ID, Fit.DATA_TYPE_SINT16, // +/- 32767 {:mesgType=>Fit.MESG_TYPE_RECORD, :units=>\"Up m/h\"} ); verticalSpeedFitField.setData(0); } OnUpdate... verticalSpeedFitField.setData(myVerticalSpeed.toNumber());`\n\nHey, glad it's working for you now, although I wasn't much help. Your code in the OP had toNumber so I'm not sure what else is different except SINT16 instead of UINT16. Anyway, I should've mentioned that recording seems to silently fail if there's a type mismatch, but it's working now so it's all good.\n\nYou were a big help for the MonkeyGraph and the resource.xml.It saved me probably a lot of time.It is now in : https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/1cc6cbe8-d655-4956-b870-54eea8bf9c6d Thank you\n\nThe vertical speed is only saved to FIT, when this DataField is active on the watch (visible).Otherwise it seems, that it goes to sleep. So in the graph I have \"data holes\", were the DataField was not active.Is there a workaround?\n\nYou want to do the data save in compute() and not in onUpdate(). Compute is called every second if the DF is visible or not, but onUpdate is only called when the DF is visible..\n\nThanks a lot, that was very useful.However my field is showing in garmin connect, but not in monkey graph.

Begin implementing the app skeleton with dive mode, breath-hold mode, and pressure-to-depth conversion.\n\n## Critical Context\n- **Venu 2 specs**: 5 ATM, “Swim” rating, pressure equivalent to 50 m; not dive-rated; touchscreen.\n- **fēnix 3 specs**: 10 ATM, pressure equivalent to 100 m; explicitly limited to surface swimming by Garmin.\n- **Garmin policy**: Apps for scuba diving, freediving, skydiving, and base-jumping are not listed in the Connect IQ Store; sideloading via USB to `GARMIN/APPS/` is the only viable path.\n- **Underwater HR**: Wrist HR is unreliable underwater; requires HRM-Swim or HRM-Tri ANT+ chest strap that stores data and downloads it at the surface.\n- **Depth calculation**: `depth ≈ (P − P_surface) / (ρ · g)`; needs surface calibration and fresh/salt-water density setting.\n- **Original implementation plan**: already covers full approach, steps, verification, risks, and open questions.\n\n---\n\n**Turn Context (split turn):**\n\n## Original Request\nThe user asked for a structured implementation plan for a Garmin Connect IQ sideloaded app for freediving/snorkeling up to 30 m in fresh water or pool, primarily for the watches they already own (Venu 2 and/or Fenix 3). Requirements: Venu 2 uses built-in HR; Fenix 3 uses an external HR monitor; only sideloading (no store submission); max 30 m. Before building, the user wants confirmation whether these watches can measure depth accurately enough and what the limitations of each would be.\n\n## Early Progress\n- Began researching device/API feasibility rather than writing code or the final plan.\n- Searched and fetched Connect IQ device references and forum discussions about raw pressure/depth data on Fenix 3 and Venu 2.\n- Identified a key concern: `Sensor.Info.pressure` on Fenix 3 appears auto-calibrated/filtered, which may make direct depth measurement unreliable.\n- Fetched manuals/warnings for both watches, noting Venu 2 advises avoiding button presses underwater and relies on a touchscreen, while Fenix 3 is older and 10 ATM rated.\n- Looked at `Toybox.FitContributor` docs as the likely mechanism for recording custom depth fields in a FIT activity.\n\n## Context for Suffix\n- Need to determine whether Venu 2 and Fenix 3 expose raw ambient/barometric pressure in Connect IQ (`Sensor.Info.ambientPressure`, API level support, SDK version limits).\n- Need to confirm water/depth ratings and practical suitability for repeated submersion to 30 m.\n- Need to evaluate UI/control limitations: Venu 2 touchscreen behavior underwater vs. Fenix 3 physical buttons.\n- Need to assess HR underwater support (optical HR on Venu 2 vs. chest strap on Fenix 3) and whether wrist optical HR works reliably in water.\n- Need to choose a recording app type that supports `FitContributor` so depth can be written to the FIT file.\n- Research remains incomplete; the retained suffix likely continues feasibility analysis and then builds the structured plan.","firstKeptEntryId":"b0d6adc6","tokensBefore":330159,"details":{"readFiles":[],"modifiedFiles":[]},"usage":{"input":12045,"output":2158,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"reasoning":0,"totalTokens":14203,"cost":{"input":0,"output":0,"cacheRead":0,"cacheWrite":0,"total":0}},"fromHook":false} +{"type":"message","id":"b4572420","parentId":"634af596","timestamp":"2026-07-26T20:59:38.594Z","message":{"role":"assistant","content":[{"type":"thinking","thinking":"The user is asking me to continue from a compacted summary.
