Bold colours, high-contrast displays and size options let you show the world that you do things your own way.

Dual-format GPS coordinates with latitude and longitude references offer unparalleled situational awareness.

Kill switch
If security becomes an issue, the kill switch wipes the device of all user memory.

Jumpmaster mode
Calculate high-altitude release points according to military guidelines while navigating to your objective once you’ve jumped.

Tactical activity
See time, pace, time of day, elevation and your location in both coordinate types.

Multi-GNSS support
Whether you’re hiking, mountain biking, trail running or skiing, you’ll have access to multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.

ABC sensors

Keep track of a known place — such as your car or the trailhead — relative to your location, and easily find your way back to it.

Smart notifications
Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with your compatible smartphone.

Connect IQ™ Store

Garmin Pay™ Contactless Payments

Easily see your plans for the day with a dedicated calendar screen when paired with your compatible smartphone.

Sync with the Garmin Connect™ APP

Built-IN sports Apps
Do whatever you love with preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, strength training, indoor climbing, virtual running, golf, yoga and more.

HIIT workouts
This activity profile tracks your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.

VO2 Max
Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. It even accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

Daily workout suggestions
View your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run or ride to match your performance and recovery as well as the races coming up in your Garmin Connect™ smartphone app calendar.

Recovery time
After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

Backcountry skiing and snowboarding
These activity profiles now automatically distinguish between descending and climbing. So you can hit start on your first run and leave your smartwatch tracking all day long.

MTB dynamics
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialised Grit™ and Flow™ measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

Wrist-Based running power
See how much power you’re applying to the trail or the road so you can manage your effort and fine-tune your training. No accessory required.

Wrist-based heart rate
Get estimated heart rate3 data along with alerts if your heart rate stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. Gauge how hard your heart is working during activities.

Stress tracking
Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.

Sleep score and advanced sleep monitoring
Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and insights.

Body Battery™ energy monitoring
Optimise your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

Pulse OX
For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor4 uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

Fitness Age
This feature uses chronological age, your weekly vigorous activity, resting heart rate and BMI to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. Get tips to lower your fitness age.

Intensity minutes
Track how many minutes of vigorous activity you’re getting, when you earn them and during which activity. You can even view them as a data field during timed activities.

Hydration tracking
Log daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. When auto goal is enabled, you’ll even see estimated sweat loss after an activity, and your goal will adjust accordingly.
