24/7 HEALTH MONITORING

Make improvements toward a healthier lifestyle with extensive health monitoring features, such as Body Battery energy monitoring, stress, Pulse Ox1 and women’s health tracking — including past ovulation estimates2 — and more3.

ADVANCED SLEEP TRACKING

Get a sleep score and personalized coaching for how much sleep you need and how you can improve. Even keep track of different sleep stages and naps — and see key metrics, such as HRV status and skin temperature3, to better understand your health. Plus, with the sleep alignment feature, see how aligned you are to your circadian rhythm and see your sleep consistency.

HEALTH STATUS

See whether your health metrics — such as heart rate, HRV, skin temperature3 and Pulse Ox1 while sleeping — are trending away from your usual range, which could indicate added stress to your body. These changes could be related to physical activity levels, environment, stress, alcohol intake, potential illness, and more. This feature is currently available in beta4.

WORKOUT OPTIONS

Track all the ways you move with more than 80 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps — including walking, running and more. Reach your goals with Garmin Coach training plans for running, cycling, strength and fitness; some even adapt based on your health and fitness metrics. Or get daily suggested workouts made specifically for you.

LIFESTYLE LOGGING

Log custom or preset behaviors — such as caffeine and alcohol intake — and view reports on how those lifestyle choices impact your sleep, stress and HRV3 in the Garmin Connect app. That way, you can make more health-conscious decisions.

EVERYDAY UTILITY

A bright LED flashlight provides convenient illumination when you need it. Make and take phone calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone. You can even control watch functions with voice commands — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more.
