• ClimbPro

  Download a course, then use the ClimbPro feature to get real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance, and elevation gain, as well as descents and flat sections.

• GNSS Multi-bandes

  This unique new feature from Garmin is a technological achievement, delivering unparalleled GPS location accuracy. Thanks to the constant recalibration of position by the watch on both frequencies of each multi-band compatible GNSS network, this technology effectively identifies and eliminates erroneous positioning data, thereby offering much higher accuracy, especially in canyons, cities, and challenging alpine environments.

• Elevate

  The wrist-based optical heart rate monitor of Garmin smartwatches is a useful tool that enables the user to obtain precise heart rate estimates at any time. The optical heart rate monitor is designed to monitor the user's heart rate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Popularity Routing

  Popularity Routing allows for the selection and suggestion of the most frequented routes, paths, and trails by locals. Garmin Connect Mobile, among the millions of data points from Garmin users, offers the route best suited to your activity.

• Âge physique

  This function uses actual age, resting heart rate, and other factors to estimate whether your body is younger or older than you.

• Suivi menstruel et grossesse 2.0

  Allows you to track menstrual cycles and display cycle details as well as other statistics on Garmin Connect.

• Fitness Age 2.0

  New algorithm using the user's chronological age, VO2 Max, resting heart rate, and either BMI or body fat percentage (BMI will be used if body fat percentage is not available). Indicates to users whether their body is "older" or "younger" than they are.

• Suivi de respiration 2.0

  Enables the consultation of respiration data throughout the day, during sleep, and during yoga and breathing activities.

• Morning Report

  Upon waking, the watch displays a summary of sleep data, as well as training suggestions for running and cycling, weather, etc.

• Test HRV / VFC

  Heart rate variability is the variation in the time interval between two heartbeats.

  The level of HRV varies greatly between individuals, but generally, a high HRV is considered a marker of good physical fitness and health, while a low HRV is associated with negative health effects and a high level of stress.

  The measurement is taken during sleep with a reading every 5 minutes. - The baseline is established over 7 days and is entirely unique for each user. - The baseline is balanced based on statistics from the last three months (minimum of 3 weeks), excluding the last week. - These data are used for the "training readiness" function.

• Puissance en course à pied

  The running power function developed by Garmin utilizes metrics such as pace, vertical oscillation, incline, and even wind resistance to calculate the power you transfer to the ground while running.

  By obtaining the power you expend each minute and each kilometer, you can manage your pace more easily and thus avoid tiring yourself out too quickly.

• Rythme adapté à la pente

  Whether uphill or downhill, runners can now obtain their equivalent pace on flat terrain, making it easier to maintain a steady effort.
