Heart Rate Features
The MARQ device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is
also compatible with chest heart rate monitors (sold separately).
You can view heart rate data on the heart rate widget. If both
wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data are available
when you start an activity, your device uses the chest heart rate
data.
Wrist-based Heart Rate
Wearing the Device
• Wear the device above your wrist bone.
NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable. For more
accurate heart rate readings, the device should not move
while running or exercising. For pulse oximeter readings, you
should remain motionless.
NOTE: The optical sensor is located on the back of the
device.
• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 14 for more
information about wrist-based heart rate.
• See Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data, page 21 for more
information about the pulse oximeter sensor.
• For more information about accuracy, go to garmin.com
/ataccuracy.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under
the device.
• Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the
device.
• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should
be snug but comfortable.
• Wait until the icon is solid before starting your activity.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading
before starting your activity.
NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors.
• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout.
