Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is Auto. The watch automatically uses the wrist-based heart
rate monitor unless you pair a chest heart rate monitor to the watch. Chest heart rate data is only available
during an activity.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables features such as your VO2 max. estimate,
sleep tracking, intensity minutes, the all-day stress feature, and the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables the on-wrist detection feature for GarminPay
payments, and you must enter a passcodebefore making each payment (GarminPay, page11).

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.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones.
The watch has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during
your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually
adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account.
