Recovery Heart Rate

If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible

chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate

value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference

between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two

minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a

typical

training

run,

you stop the timer. Your heart rate is

140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your

heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140

minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to

cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier

hearts.

TIP: For best

results,

you should stop moving for two minutes

while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You

can save or discard the activity after this value appears.

Body Battery

Your device analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level,

sleep quality, and activity data to determine your overall Body

Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your

amount of available reserve energy. The Body Battery

range is from Oto 100, where Oto 25 is low reserve energy, 26

to 50 is medium reserve energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy,

and 76 to 100 is very high reserve energy.

You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to

view your most up-to-date Body Battery level, long-term

and additional details

• Strenuous activity, high stress, and poor sleep can cause

your Body Battery to drain.

• Food intake, as well as stimulants like caffeine, has no

impact on your Body Battery.

Pulse Oximeter

The fenix device has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the

peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing your

oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is

acclimating to high altitudes for alpine sport and expedition.

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the

pulse oximeter widget
