Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements
You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Descent device
using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your device to more accurately reflect your training status and
fitness. For example, you can record a ride with an Edge device, and view your activity details and overall
training load on your Descent device.

When you sync your device with your smartphone, recent activities and performance measurements from your
other Garmin devices appear on your Descent device.
About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body
weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and
should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Descent device requires wrist-based heart rate or a
compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max.
estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter
at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On
your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, such as where it
ranks for your age and gender.
