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 Forerunner^® 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 Forerunner 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.
