Broadcasting Heart Rate to Garmin Devices
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, page42). For example, you can broadcast your heart rate data to an Edge
device while cycling.

Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
The wrist-based heart rate monitor is enabled by default. The device automatically uses the wrist-based heart
rate monitor unless you pair a chest heart rate monitor to the device. Chest heart rate data is only available
during an activity.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables the all-day stress feature, intensity minutes,
and the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor.

About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their
level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
