Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level

Your device analyzes your heart rate variability while you are 

inactive to determine your overall stress. Training, physical 

activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your 

stress level. The stress level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 

25 is a resting state, 26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium 

stress, and 76 to 100 is a high stress state. Knowing your stress 

level can help you identify stressful moments throughout your 

day. For best results, you should wear the device while sleeping.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to 

view your all-day stress level, long-term trends, and additional 

details.

ends.

Body Battery

Your device analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level, 

sleep quality, and activity data to determine your overall Body 

Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your 

amount of available reserve energy  . The Body Battery level 

range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is low reserve energy, 26 

to 50 is medium reserve energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy, 

and 76 to 100 is very high reserve energy.

Your device also displays a trending arrow indicating if your 

energy reserve is increasing, decreasing, or holding steady  .

You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to 

view your most up-to-date Body Battery level, long-term trends, 

and additional details (

Tips for Improved Body Battery Data

page 10

).

Sleep Tracking

While you are sleeping, the device automatically detects your 

sleep and monitors your movement during your normal sleep 

hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings 

on your Garmin Connect account. Sleep statistics include total 

hours of sleep, sleep levels, and sleep movement. You can view 

your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.

NOTE: 

Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use 

do not disturb mode to turn off notifications and alerts, with the 

exception of alarms (
