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 26 ). 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 CTRL to open the controls menu, and select
.
NOTE: You can add options to the controls menu ( Customizing the Controls Menu, page 60 ).
2 Press GPS.
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 GPS to stop broadcasting your heart rate data.
Pulse Oximeter
The Instinct 2 watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing
your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine how your
body is adapting to altitude. Your watch 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 watch, 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 ( Setting
the Pulse Oximeter Mode, page 65 ). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go to garmin.com

Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter glance. The glance displays
your most recent blood oxygen saturation percentage.
1 While you are sitting or inactive, press UP or DOWN to view the pulse oximeter glance.
2 Wait until the watch begins the pulse oximeter reading.
3 Remain motionless for up to 30 seconds.
NOTE: If you are too active for the watch to get a pulse oximeter reading, a message appears instead of a
percentage. You can check again after several minutes of inactivity. For best results, hold the arm wearing
the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.
Setting the Pulse Oximeter Mode
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select Sensors & Accessories > Pulse Oximeter > Pulse Ox Mode.
3 Select an option:
• To turn off automatic measurements, select Manual Check.
• To turn on continuous measurements while you sleep, select During Sleep.
NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings.
• To turn on measurements while you are inactive during the day, select All Day.
NOTE: Turning on All Day mode decreases battery life.
