Garmin ECG APP

The ECG app² uses sensors to record the electrical signals that control how your heart beats. It analyzes that recording to detect signs of an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AFib).

HEALTH SNAPSHOT FEATURE

Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate³, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox⁴, respiration and stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone.

BODY BATTERY ENERGY MONITORING

See your body’s energy levels throughout the day so you’ll know when your body is charged up and ready for activity or drained and needing to recharge with restful sleep.

PULSE OX SENSOR

Use the Pulse Ox sensor⁴ to spot-check your blood oxygen saturation at any point during the day, or while you sleep, to show how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

STRESS TRACKING

Find out if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day with continuous tracking. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity when the watch detects stress.

WOMEN’S HEALTH TRACKING

Use the Garmin Connect app to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more. Even see and log details on your wrist with the Women’s Health Tracking app.

HYDRATION TRACKING

Log your daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. You can even have an auto goal for hydration that adjusts based on how much you sweat during activities.

RESPIRATION TRACKING

See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep, during breathwork and yoga activities or during a Health Snapshot session.

SLEEP SCORE AND ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING

Get a score for your sleep’s quality and insights on how you can do better. Even keep track of the different sleep stages as well as heart rate, stress, Pulse Ox⁴ and respiration.

WRIST-BASED HEART RATE

The watch constantly samples your heart rate³ and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities, even while swimming.

MINDFUL BREATHING

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

FITNESS AGE

This feature uses chronological age, your weekly vigorous activity, resting heart rate and BMI or body fat percentage⁵ to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. And you can get tips to lower your fitness age.

PHONE CALLS FROM YOUR WRIST

No more missing calls while digging in your pockets or fumbling through your purse. When connected with your compatible smartphone, you can make and take phone calls right from the watch¹.

ASK YOUR VOICE ASSISTANT

Hands full? No problem. Use your paired smartphone’s voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant or Bixby) via Venu 2 Plus to compose and respond to text messages, ask questions and even control your compatible smart home devices.

ANIMATED, ON-SCREEN WORKOUTS

Easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga, Pilates and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts come preloaded on the watch, and you can download more from the Garmin Connect app.

BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS

Track all the ways you move with more than 25 preloaded GPS and indoor sports apps — including walking, running, cycling, pool swimming, golf and more.

ADVANCED STRENGTH TRAINING

This detailed activity profile puts scaling and strength PRs right at your wrist, plus graphics show what muscle groups you worked.

HIIT WORKOUTS

Use this new activity profile with different timers to track your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.

CREATE WORKOUTS
