Heart Rate Features
The vívosmart device has a heart rate menu, enabling you to
view wrist-based heart rate data.
Monitors the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing your
oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is
adapting to exercise and stress.

device.
Displays your current VO2 max., which is an indication of athletic
performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves.
Broadcasts your current heart rate to a paired Garmin
®
device.
Pulse Oximeter
The vívosmart device has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge
the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing your oxygen
saturation can help you determine how your body is adapting to
exercise and stress. Your device gauges your blood oxygen
level by shining light into the skin and checking how much light
is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO
2
.
On the device, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO
2
percentage. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view
additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including
trends over multiple days ( Activating Pulse Oximeter Sleep
Tracking , page 6 ). For more information on pulse oximeter
accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy .
Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading on your
device at any time. The accuracy of these readings can vary
based on your blood flow, the device placement on your wrist,
and your stillness.
