Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with
the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
NOTE: The device cannot record heart rate data while
swimming.
NOTE: The device is compatible with the HRM-Tri accessory
and the HRM-Swim accessory (Heart Rate While Swimming,
page 5).
Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts
after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the
device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool
length and the number of strokes for that length. For
example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of
45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25
meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and,
like golf, a lower score is better.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming.
Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types
appear when you are viewing interval history. You can also
select stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data
Screens, page 19).

monitor.
2Wet the electrodes À on the back of the heart rate monitor to
create a strong connection between your chest and the
transmitter.
3Wear the heart rate monitor with the Garmin logo facing right-
side up.
The loop Á and hook  connection should be on your right
side.
4Wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest, and connect
the strap hook to the loop.
NOTE: Make sure the care tag does not fold over.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is active and sending
data.
Pool Swimming
NOTICE
Hand wash the heart rate monitor after exposure to chlorine or
other pool chemicals. Prolonged exposure to these substances
can damage the heart rate monitor.
The HRM-Tri accessory is designed primarily for open water
swimming, but it can be used occasionally for pool swimming.
The heart rate monitor should be worn under a swim suit or
triathlon top during pool swimming. Otherwise, it may slide down
your chest when pushing off the pool wall.
Heart Rate While Swimming
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate is not available while swimming.
The HRM-Tri accessory and the HRM-Swim accessory record
and store your heart rate data while swimming. Heart rate data
is not visible on compatible fēnix devices while the heart rate
monitor is underwater.
You must start a timed activity on your paired fēnix device to
view stored heart rate data later. During rest intervals when out
of the water, the heart rate monitor sends your heart rate data to
your fēnix device.
Your fēnix device automatically downloads stored heart rate
data when you save your timed swim activity. Your heart rate
monitor must be out of the water, active, and within range of the
device (3 m) while data is downloaded. You can review your
heart rate data in the device history and on your Garmin
Connect account.
Heart Rate Features 5
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. Your heart rate monitor automatically sends
your stored heart rate data to your fēnix device when you save
your activity. Your heart rate monitor must be active and within
range (3 m) of the device while data is uploaded.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if
applicable).
Tighten the strap on your chest.
Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate
Monitor, page 6).
Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals.
Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart
rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic
fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power
lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTICE
A buildup of sweat and salt on the strap can decrease the ability
of the heart rate monitor to report accurate data.
Rinse the heart rate monitor after every use.
Hand wash the heart rate monitor after every seven uses or
one pool swim, using a tiny amount of mild detergent, such
as dishwashing liquid.
NOTE: Using too much detergent may damage the heart rate
monitor.
Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or
dryer.
When drying the heart rate monitor, hang it up or lay it flat.
Running Dynamics
You can use your compatible fēnix device paired with the
HRM-Tri accessory or other running dynamics accessory to
provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your fēnix
device was packaged with the HRM-Tri accessory, the devices
are already paired.
The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that
measures torso movement in order to calculate six running
metrics.
Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It
displays the total steps (right and left combined).
Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while
running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso,
measured in centimeters for each step.
Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of
time in each step that you spend on the ground while
running. It is measured in milliseconds.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available
while walking.
Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance
displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time
while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2
with an arrow pointing left or right.
Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one
footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.
Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to
stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number
typically indicates better running form.
Training with Running Dynamics
Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on a
running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Tri accessory,
and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 23). If
your fēnix was packaged with the accessory, the devices are
already paired, and the fēnix is set to display running dynamics
data screens.
1 Select an option:
If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix device are
already paired, skip to step 7.
If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix device are
not already paired, complete all the steps in this
procedure.
2Hold MENU.
3Select Settings > Activities & Apps.
4Select an activity.
5Select the activity settings.
6Select Data Screens > Add New.
7Select a running dynamics data screen.
NOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for
all activities.
8Go for a run (Starting an Activity, page 2).
9Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to
view your metrics.
Color Gauges and Running Dynamics Data
The running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground
contact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running
dynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles.
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less
experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster
runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and
higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and
slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.
NOTE: The color gauge for ground contact time balance is different (Ground Contact Time Balance Data, page 7).
Go to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics
data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

Red <5 <153 spm >11.5 cm >10.1% >308 ms
Ground Contact Time Balance Data
Ground contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For
example, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your
data screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot.
Color Zone Red Orange Green Orange Red
Symmetry Poor Fair Good Fair Poor
Percent of Other Runners 5% 25% 40% 25% 5%
Ground Contact Time Balance >52.2% L 50.8–52.2% L 50.7% L–50.7% R 50.8–52.2% R >52.2% R
While developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with
certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills.
Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides.
You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run.
As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your
running form.
Tips for Missing Running Dynamics Data
If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these
tips.
Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory, such as
the HRM-Tri accessory.
Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the
module.
Pair the running dynamics accessory with your fēnix device
again, according to the instructions.
If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make
sure the accessory is worn right-side up.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while
running. It is not calculated while walking.
Performance Measurements
These performance measurements require a few workouts using
wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.
The measurements are estimates that can help you track and
understand your training activities and race performances.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in
milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body
weight at your maximum performance.
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time
remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next
hard workout.
Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate
and published data sources to provide a target race time
based on your current state of fitness. This projection also
presumes you have completed the proper training for the
race.
Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real-
time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be
added as a data field so you can view your performance
condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your
real-time condition to your average fitness level.

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. You
can save or discard the activity after this value appears.
8 Heart Rate Features
Performance Condition
As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the
performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate,
and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your
ability to perform compared to your average fitness level.
Performance condition values range from -2 to +2. After the first
6 to 2 minutes of your activity, the device displays your
performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means
that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride.
You can add performance condition as a data field to one of
your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the
activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of
fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride.
NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate
monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about
your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page
8).
Viewing Your Performance Condition
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate
monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing

3Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition
throughout the run or ride.
Lactate Threshold
Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic
acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is
the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the
threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For
experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90%
of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon
race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often
occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your
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

Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 11) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your 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.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set
separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running,
cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data

Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Heart
Association®, and the World Health Organization, recommend at
least 15 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, such
as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity
activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time
spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities
(heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). You
can work toward achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by
participating in at least 1 consecutive minutes of moderate to
vigorous intensity activities. The device adds the amount of
moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity
minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when
added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your fēnix device calculates intensity minutes by comparing
your heart rate data during an activity to your average resting
heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates
moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute.
Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of
intensity minutes.

vigorous intensity level.
