Health Stats Widget
The Health Stats widget provides an at-a-glance view
of your health data. This is a dynamic summary that
updates throughout the day. The metrics include
your heart rate, stress level, Body Battery level, and
respiration rate. You can tap the touchscreen to view
additional metrics.
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Your device analyzes your heart rate variability while
you are inactive to determine your overall stress.
Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general
life stress all impact your stress level. The stress level
range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is a resting state,
26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium stress,
and 76 to 100 is a high stress state. Knowing your
stress level can help you identify stressful moments
throughout your day. For best results, you should wear
the device while sleeping.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect
account to view your all-day stress level, long-term
trends, and additional details.
Using the Stress Level Widget
The stress level widget displays your current stress
level and a graph of your stress level for the last
several hours. It can also guide you through a
breathing activity to help you relax.
1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down
to view the stress level widget.
TIP: If you are too active for the watch to
determine your stress level, a message appears
instead of a stress level number. You can check
your stress level again after several minutes of
inactivity.
2 Tap the touchscreen to view a graph of your stress
level for the last several hours.
Blue bars indicate periods of rest. Yellow bars
indicate periods of stress. Gray bars indicate times
that you were too active to determine your stress
level.
3 To start a breathing activity, swipe up, and select
.
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 level range is from 0 to 100, where 0
to 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 trends, and additional details
