• See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 5 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips. • Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device. • Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the device. • Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the device. • Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should be snug but comfortable.
Data Storage The heart rate monitor can store up to 20 hours of data in a single activity. When the heart rate monitor memory is full, your oldest data is overwritten. You can start a timed activity on your paired fēnix device, and the heart rate monitor records your heart rate data even if you move away from your device. For example, you can record heart rate data during fitness activities or team sports where watches cannot be worn.

Automatically Detecting Performance Measurements You can enable the device to automatically detect your maximum heart rate, lactate threshold, and functional threshold power (FTP) during an activity. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Auto Detection. 3 Select an option. About VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max.
lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 10). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 23).
Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge. 7 Select an option: • Select Accept to save the new FTP. • Select Decline to keep your current FTP. Training Effect Description From 1.0 to 1.9 Helps recovery (short activities). Improves endurance with longer activities (longer than 40 min.). From 2.0 to 2.9 Maintains your aerobic fitness.
