Track it all

When we say broadest available range of all-day health monitoring features, we mean it.

Body Battery energy monitoring measures your body's energy levels, so you can find the best times for activity and rest.

Pulse Ox sensor gauges your blood oxygen saturation during the day and as you sleep to see how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

Menstrual cycle tracking in the Garmin Connect™ app lets you track your cycle, log physical and emotional symptoms, and learn about training and nutrition during each phase of your cycle. Get notifications and more on your watch by downloading the Connect IQ™ app.

Hydration tracking lets you log your daily water intake to help you stay hydrated.

Respiration tracking records how you breathe throughout the day, during sleep, and during breathwork and yoga activities.

Advanced sleep monitoring breaks your night into light, deep and REM sleep stages to give you a full picture of how you're sleeping.

Stress tracking can tell if you're having a calm, balanced or stressful day. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity.

Wrist-based heart rate constantly samples your heart rate and will alert you if it stays high while you're at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities.

Made for daily wear

From interchangeable bands to durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, this smartwatch was made to be worn 24/7. Keep it on when you hit the water, since it is water-rated to 5 ATM. The always-on, sunlight-readable Garmin Chroma Display™ makes it easy to see in any lighting. Add in the battery life of up to 7 days in smartwatch mode and up to 5 hours in GPS mode with music, and you've got a watch you'll never want to take off.

Animated workouts at your wrist

No more hunting down videos or trainers for workout demonstrations. This watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view on the watch screen. Choose from preloaded animated workouts, or download more from Garmin Connect.

All the activities you love

With more than 20 preloaded GPS and indoor activity profiles — including walking, running, cycling, pool swimming, golf and more — this watch can help you track all the ways you move. You can even create custom workouts in the Garmin Connect app.

Take a breath

This watch offers a variety of structured breathwork activities. When you want to relax or focus, you can start a breathing activity, and this watch will track your stress and respiration to help you get a better understanding of how you're breathing.

Smart notifications

Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible smartphone. You can even respond to texts if you have an Android™ phone.

Music

Easily download songs to your watch, including playlists from your Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music account (subscription may be required). Connect with wireless headphones (sold separately) for phone-free listening.

Safety and tracking features

While your watch and phone are paired, your location can be sent to your contacts either manually or — during outdoor activities — automatically with built-in incident detection3, if needed.
