General
Wrist-based Heart Rate
The watch samples your heart rate multiple times per second 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
Body Battery Energy Monitoring
See your body’s energy levels throughout the day so you’ll know when your body is charged up and ready for activity or drained and needing to recharge with restful sleep.
Sleep Monitoring and Sleep Score
Understand how your body is recovering with our improved sleep monitoring feature. After waking up, you’ll receive a sleep score as well as breakdown of your sleep stages, Pulse Ox2 and respiration alongside detailed insights for improved sleep quality
Helath Snapshot Feature
Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox, respiration and stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect™ app on your compatible smartphone.
Stress Tracking
Find out if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day with continuous tracking. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity when the watch detects stress.
Women's Health Tracking
Use the Garmin Connect smart-device app to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more. Even see and log details on your wrist with the Women’s Health Tracking app.
Pulse Ox Sensor
The Pulse Ox sensor gauges your blood oxygen saturation during the day and as you sleep to show how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Fitness Age
This feature uses chronological age, your weekly vigorous activity, resting heart rate and BMI or body fat percentage3 to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. And you can get tips to lower your fitness age.
Mindful Breathing
When you want to relax or focus, you can start a breathwork activity, and this watch will track your stress and respiration to help you get a better understanding of how you’re breathing.
Hydration Tracking
Log your daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. You can even have an auto goal for hydration that adjusts based on how much sweat you lose during activities.
Respiration Tracking
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.
