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.

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 sleeping.
• 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.
Heart Rate Features
The Approach S62 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.
