1 Go for a run.
2 After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4
days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or
DOWN to view the training status widget, and select
START to scroll through the metrics to view your
recovery time.
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.
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

Viewing the Body Battery Widget
The Body Battery widget displays your current Body
Battery level and a graph of your Body Battery level for
the last several hours.
1 Press UP or DOWN to view the Body Battery widget.

2 Press START to view a graph of your body battery level
since midnight.
3 Press DOWN to view a combined graph of your Body
Battery and stress levels.
Blue bars indicate periods of rest. Orange bars indicate
periods of stress. Gray bars indicate times when you
were too active to determine your stress level.

Tips for Improved Body Battery Data
• For more accurate results, wear the watch while
sleeping.
• Good sleep charges your Body Battery.
• Strenuous activity and high stress can cause your Body
Battery to drain more quickly.
• Food intake, as well as stimulants like caffeine, has no
impact on your Body Battery.
Pulse Oximeter
Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge
the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2).
As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your
blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation
can help you determine how your body is adjusting to
high altitudes. During a flight, the watch automatically
takes pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you
can monitor your SpO2 percentage
Readings in Flight,
page 3).
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by
viewing the pulse oximeter widget
Readings,
page 31). You can also turn on all-day readings
(Turning On All-Day Pulse Oximeter Readings,
When you view the pulse oximeter widget while you are
not moving, your watch analyzes your oxygen saturation
and your elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate
how your pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to
your to elevation.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an
oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph. On
your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional
details about your pulse oximeter readings, including
trends over multiple days.
