Breathing Variations

The optical heart rate sensor on the Lily 2 Active device has a pulse oximeter feature that can detect any

overnight sleep variations of your oxygen saturation percentage to alert you to potential sleep apnea. While

measuring your pulse ox (SpO

) during your sleep window, the device indicates if your SpO

percentage drops

by more than 3%, and lasts for longer than 10 seconds. This is referred to as a breathing variation. The device

calculates all breathing variations that occur during a one-hour window to give you a severity level based on the

American Academy of Sleep Medicine criteria for diagnosing sleep apnea.

Intensity Minutes

To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes

per week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity

activity, such as running.

The watch monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous

intensity activities (heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). The watch adds the amount of

moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes

are doubled when added.

Earning Intensity Minutes

Your Lily 2 Active watch calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting

heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps

per minute.

• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes.

• Wear your watch all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.

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.

For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also enter your

resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect

account.

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying

these principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page30) to

determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms

and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is

220 minus your age.

Pulse Oximeter

The Lily 2 Active 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

On the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO

percentage. On your Garmin Connect account,

you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days

(Turning On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking, page31). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go

to garmin.com/ataccuracy.

Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading on your watch at any time. The accuracy of these readings

can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness (Tips for Erratic Pulse

Oximeter Data, page31).

1 Wear the watch above your wrist bone.

The watch should be snug but comfortable.

2 Swipe to view the pulse oximeter widget.

3 Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.

4 Keep still.

The watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage.

NOTE: You can turn on and view pulse oximeter sleep data in your Garmin Connect account (Turning On Pulse

Oximeter Sleep Tracking, page31).

30 Heart Rate Features

Turning On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking

Before you can use pulse oximeter sleep tracking, you must set your Lily 2 Active watch as your primary

wearable in your Garmin Connect account (Unified Training Status, page21).

You can set your watch to continuously measure your blood oxygen level, or SpO2, for up to 4 hours during your

defined sleep window (Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data, page31).

NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings.

1 Hold to view the menu.

• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable.

• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.

• Use a silicone or nylon band.

• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch.

• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch.

• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the watch.

• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout.

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 cardiovascular strength

and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Lily 2 Active watch requires wrist-based heart rate or

a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate.

On the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and description. On your Garmin Connect account,

you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate.

VO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics

™

Activity Tracking

For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.

• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist.

• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower.

• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only.

NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping

your hands, as steps.

The step counts on my watch and my Garmin Connect account do not match

The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when you sync your watch.

1 Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app (Syncing Your Data with the Garmin Connect App,

page33).

2 Wait while the watch syncs your data.

Syncing can take several minutes.

NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect app does not sync your data or update your step count.

My stress level does not appear

Before the watch can detect your stress level, wrist-based heart rate monitoring must be turned on.

The watch samples your heart rate variability throughout the day during periods of inactivity to determine your

stress level. The watch does not determine your stress level during timed activities.

If dashes appear instead of your stress level, be still, and wait while the watch measures your heart rate

variability.

The heart rate on my watch is not accurate

For more information on your heart rate sensor, go to www.garmin.com/heartrate.
