• Wait until the
icon is solid before starting your
activity.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate
reading before starting your activity.
NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout.
• While exercising, use a silicone band.
Wrist Heart Rate Monitor Settings
Hold MENU, and select Sensors & Accessories > Wrist
Heart Rate.
Status: Enables or disables the wrist heart rate monitor.
The default value is Auto, which automatically uses the
wrist heart rate monitor unless you pair an external
heart rate monitor.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist heart rate monitor also
disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor. You
can perform a manual reading from the pulse oximeter
glance.
While Swimming: Enables or disables the wrist heart rate
monitor during swimming activities.
Abnormal Heart Rate Alerts: Allows you to set the watch
to alert you when your heart rate exceeds or drops
below a target value (
Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate
).
Broadcast Heart Rate: Allows you to begin broadcasting
your heart rate data to a paired device (
).
Setting an Abnormal Heart Rate Alert
CAUTION
This feature only alerts you when your heart rate exceeds
or drops below a certain number of beats per minute,
as selected by the user, after a period of inactivity.
This feature does not notify you of any potential heart
condition and is not intended to treat or diagnose any
medical condition or disease. Always defer to your health
care provider for any heart-related issues.
You can set the heart rate threshold value.
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select Sensors & Accessories > Wrist Heart Rate >
Abnormal Heart Rate Alerts.
3 Select High Alert or Low Alert.
4 Set the heart rate threshold value.
Each time your heart rate exceeds or drops below the
threshold value, a message appears and the watch
vibrates.
Broadcasting Heart Rate Data
You can broadcast your heart rate data from your watch
and view it on paired devices. Broadcasting heart rate
data decreases battery life.
TIP: You can customize the activity settings to broadcast
your heart rate data automatically when you begin
an activity (
Activities and App Settings, page 16
). For
example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an
Edge
®
device while cycling.
1 Select an option:
• Hold MENU, and select Sensors & Accessories >
Wrist Heart Rate > Broadcast Heart Rate.
• Hold LIGHT to open the controls menu, and select
.
NOTE: You can add options to the controls menu
(
Customizing the Controls Menu, page 36
).
2 Press START.
The watch starts broadcasting your heart rate data.
3 Pair your watch with your compatible device.
NOTE: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin
compatible device. See your owner's manual.
4 Press STOP to stop broadcasting your heart rate data.
Pulse Oximeter
Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge
the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2).
As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your
blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation
can help you determine how your body is adjusting to
high altitudes. During a flight, the watch automatically
takes pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you
can monitor your SpO2 percentage (
).
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by
viewing the pulse oximeter glance (
). You can also turn on all-day readings
(
Setting the Pulse Oximeter Mode, page 39
). When you
view the pulse oximeter glance while you are not moving,
your watch analyzes your oxygen saturation and your
elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your
pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to your to
elevation.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an
oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph. On
your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional
details about your pulse oximeter readings, including
trends over multiple days.
