Pulse Ox
For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor2 uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

Wrist-based heart rate
The watch constantly samples your heart rate3 and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities — even while swimming.

Respiration tracking
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.

Health Snapshot™ feature
Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate3, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox2, respiration and stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect™ app on your compatible smartphone.

Stress tracking
Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.

Sleep score and advanced sleep monitoring
Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and insights.

Body Battery™ energy monitoring
Optimise your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

Pacepro™ technology
A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

Grade-adjusted pace
Don’t run out of steam before the activity is over. After configuring your data fields in the running activity, understand how to adjust your pace over varying terrain to perform according to your plan.

VO2 Max
Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. It adjusts for trail running and accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

Performance metrics
View advanced training metrics that include estimates for running dynamics, VO2 max, recovery advisor and more.

Real-time stamina
Use this real-time stamina data to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike.

Daily suggested workout
View your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run or ride to match your performance and recovery as well as the races coming up in your Garmin Connect™ smartphone app calendar.

Recovery time
After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

MTB dynamics
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics, plus specialised Grit™ and Flow™ measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

Backcountry skiing and snowboarding
These activity profiles now automatically distinguish between descending and climbing. So you can hit start on your first run and leave your smartwatch tracking all day long.

XC Ski dynamics
When paired with the HRM-Pro™ heart rate monitor (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of your cross-country workouts.

Surf-ready features
This watch works with the Surfline® widget to give you tides, wave height, wind and surf rating for the five nearest locations and also works with the Surfline Sessions™ app to create videos of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera.

Training status
Using new indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and performance, get insight into your overall effort — and whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained.

HRV status
Gain a deeper understanding of your overall health, training and recovery through heart rate variability, while you sleep, based on technology developed by our Firstbeat Analytics™ team.
