Garmin Golf
App
™
The Garmin Golf app allows you to upload scorecards from your compatible Garmin device to view detailed
statistics and shot analyses. Golfers can compete with each other at different courses using the Garmin Golf
app. More than 42,000 courses have leaderboards that anyone can join. You can set up a tournament event and
invite players to compete. With a Garmin Golf membership, you can view green contour data on your phone and
compatible Garmin device.
The Garmin Golf app syncs your data with your Garmin Connect account. You can download the Garmin Golf
app from the app store on your phone (garmin.com/golfapp).
User Profile
You can update your user profile on your watch or on the Garmin Connect app.
Setting Up Your User Profile
You can update your sex, date of birth, height, weight, wrist, heart rate zone, and power zone. The watch uses
this information to calculate accurate training data.
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select User Profile.
3 Select an option.
Gender Settings
When you first set up the watch, you must choose a sex. Most fitness and training algorithms are binary. For the
most accurate results, Garmin recommends selecting your sex assigned at birth. After the initial setup, you can
customize the profile settings in your Garmin Connect account.
Profile & Privacy: Enables you to customize the data on your public profile.
User Settings: Sets your sex. If you select Not Specified, the algorithms that require a binary input will use the
sex you specified when you first set up the watch.
Viewing Your Fitness Age
Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your watch
uses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history
to provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index
scale, your watch uses the body fat percentage metric
™
instead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age.
NOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile,
page 78).
1 Hold MENU.
2 Select User Profile > Fitness Age.
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.
