Letting the Watch Set Your Heart Rate Zones

The default settings allow the watch to detect your maximum heart rate and set your heart rate zones as a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

  • Verify that your user profile settings are accurate (Setting Up Your User Profile).
  • Run often with the wrist or chest heart rate monitor.
  • Try a few heart rate training plans, available from your Garmin Connect™ account.
  • View your heart rate trends and time in zones using your Garmin Connect account.
