Activities and Apps 7
Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will
void the warranty.
NOTE: The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities. The watch is also compatible with the
HRM-Pro, HRM-Swim, and HRM-Tri accessories. If both wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data are
available, your watch uses the chest heart rate data.
Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length. For
example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is
calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is
better.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed that you can maintain continuously without
exhaustion. You can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor your improvement.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming. Your stroke type is identified at the end of a
length. Stroke types appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect account. You can also select
stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data Screens, page 22).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
Fly Butterfly
Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval
Drill Used with drill logging (Training with the Drill Log, page 9)
Tips for Swimming Activities
Before starting a pool swimming activity, follow the on-screen instructions to select your pool size or enter a
custom size.
The next time you start a pool swimming activity, the device uses this pool size. You can hold MENU, select
the activity settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.

Activities and Apps 19
Jump Types
The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump
type selected determines what additional setup information is required. For all jump types, drop altitudes and
opening altitudes are measured in feet above ground level (AGL).
HAHO: High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at
a high altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least 1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to
be the same as the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet
AGL.
HALO: High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at
a low altitude. The required information is the same as the HAHO jump type, plus an opening altitude. The
opening altitude must not be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an opening altitude range
from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL.
Static: The wind speed and direction are assumed to be constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude
must be at least 1,000 feet.

Performance Measurements
These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities
and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to garmin.com
/performance-data/running.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn
about your performance.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram
of body weight at your maximum performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 43).
Predicted race times: Your watch uses the VO2 max. estimate and your training history to provide a target race
time based on your current state of fitness (Viewing Your Predicted Race Times, page 44).
HRV stress test: The heart rate variability (HRV) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The
watch records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level.
The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level (Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level,
page 44).
Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real-time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity.
It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It
compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level (Performance Condition, page 45).
Functional threshold power (FTP): The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to
estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test (Getting Your FTP Estimate,
page 46).
Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where
your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your watch measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data
and pace (Lactate Threshold, page 47).
Stamina: The watch uses your VO2 max. estimate and heart rate data to provide real-time stamina estimates. It
can be added as a data screen so you can view your potential and remaining stamina during your activity
(Viewing Your Real-Time Stamina, page 48).

Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the fēnix device analyzes
heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact
how a runner performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state and 100 is a
very high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training
run or yoga.

Lactate Threshold
Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream.
In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to
increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their
maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold
often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine
how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race.
If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting
Your Heart Rate Zones, page 80). You can turn on the Auto Detection feature to automatically record your
lactate threshold during an activity.
Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold
This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put

These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to garmin.com
/performance-data/running.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn
about your performance.
Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your
training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram
of body weight at your maximum performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 43). Your watch displays
heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high
altitude (Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation, page 50).
Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7
days. EPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your body to recover after exercise (Training Load,
page 50).
Training load focus: Your watch analyzes and distributes your training load into different categories based on
the intensity and structure of each activity recorded. Training load focus includes the total load accumulated
per category, and the focus of the training. Your watch displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks
(Training Load Focus, page 51).
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for
the next hard workout (Recovery Time, page 52).
Appearance 49
Training Status Levels
Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is
based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. You can use your training
status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level.
Peaking: Peaking means that you are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your
body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can
only be maintained for a short time.
Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You
should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level.
Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding
more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume.
Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods
of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready.
Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling
to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest.
Detraining: Detraining occurs when you are training much less than usual for a week or more, and it is affecting
your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement.
Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give
yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule.
No Status: The device needs one or two weeks of training history, including activities with VO2 max. results
from running or cycling, to determine your training status.
Tips for Getting Your Training Status
The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least two VO2
max. measurements per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides with power during
which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. Indoor run activities
do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. You can
disable VO2 max. recording for ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your
VO2 max. estimate (Activities and App Settings, page 23).
To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.
At least two times per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70%
of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes.
After using the device for one week, your training status should be available.
Record all of your fitness activities on this device, or enable the Physio TrueUp feature, allowing your device
to learn about your performance (Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page 95).
Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For
example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2
max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your fēnix watch provides acclimation notifications and
corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when
the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training
status glance.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your
connected phone.
Training Load
Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your excess
post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether
your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal
range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your
training time and intensity increase or decrease.
50 Appearance
Training Load Focus
In order to maximize performance and fitness gains, training should be distributed across three categories: low
aerobic, high aerobic, and anaerobic. Training load focus shows you how much of your training is currently in
each category and provides training targets. Training load focus requires at least 7 days of training to determine
if your training load is low, optimal, or high. After 4 weeks of training history, your training load estimate will
have more detailed target information to help you balance your training activities.
Below targets: Your training load is lower than optimal in all intensity categories. Try increasing the duration or
frequency of your workouts.
Low aerobic shortage: Try adding more low aerobic activities to provide recovery and balance for your higher
intensity activities.
High aerobic shortage: Try adding more high aerobic activities to help improve your lactate threshold and VO2
max. over time.
Anaerobic shortage: Try adding a few more intense, anaerobic activities to improve your speed and anaerobic
capacity over time.
Balanced: Your training load is balanced and provides all-around fitness benefits as you continue training.
Low aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly low aerobic activity. This provides a solid foundation and
prepares you for adding more intense workouts.
High aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly high aerobic activity. These activities help to improve lactate
threshold, VO2 max., and endurance.
Anaerobic focus: Your training load is mostly intense activity. This leads to rapid fitness gains, but should be
balanced with low aerobic activities.
Above targets: Your training load is higher than optimal, and you should consider scaling back the duration and
frequency of your workouts.

About Training Effect
Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect
accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases. Training Effect
is determined by your user profile information and training history, and heart rate, duration, and intensity of your
activity. There are seven different Training Effect labels to describe the primary benefit of your activity. Each
label is color coded and corresponds to your training load focus (Training Load Focus, page 51). Each feedback
phrase, for example, "Highly Impacting VO2 Max." has a corresponding description in your Garmin Connect
activity details.
Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects
your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level.
Your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of
values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts
involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an
improved aerobic Training Effect.
Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability
to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type
of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your
anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect.
You can add Aerobic Training Effect and Anaerobic Training Effect as data fields to one of your training screens
to monitor your numbers throughout the activity.

Recovery Time
You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display
how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.
NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to
attempt another hard workout. The device updates your recovery time throughout the day based on changes in
sleep, stress, relaxation, and physical activity.
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.

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.
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 81) 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.

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 device and my Garmin Connect account don't match
The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when you sync your device.
1Select an option:
Sync your step count with the Garmin Express application (Using Garmin Connect on Your Computer,
page 78).
Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app (Using the Garmin Connect App, page 77).
2Wait while the device syncs your data.
Syncing can take several minutes.
NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin Express application does not sync your data or
update your step count.
The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate
Your watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is
equal to 3 m (10 ft.).
Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs.
In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings.

Appendix 115
Color Gauges and Running Dynamics Data
The running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical
oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color
gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are
based on percentiles.
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are
typical for less experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for
more experienced or faster runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times,
lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller
runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical
ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.
Go to www.garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories
and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.
Color Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Ground Contact Time Range
Purple >95 >183 spm <218 ms
Blue 70–95 174–183 spm 218–248 ms
Green 30–69 164–173 spm 249–277 ms
Orange 5–29 153–163 spm 278–308 ms
Red <5 <153 spm >308 ms
Ground Contact Time Balance Data
Ground contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total
ground contact time. For example, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time
on the ground when on the left foot. If your data screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the
left foot and 52% is the right foot.
Color Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red
Symmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor
Percent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5%
Ground Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R
While developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and
greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate
further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running
form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides.
You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect
account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative
measurement to help you learn about your running form.
