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

Tips for Improved Body Battery Data
• Your Body Battery level updates when you sync your device
with your Garmin Connect account.
• For more accurate results, wear the device while
• Rest and good sleep charge your Body Battery.
• 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
