Health features go beyond basic totals with tools like Sleep Coach, nap detection, HRV status, breathing variations, and skin temperature when worn during sleep. Body Battery™ energy monitoring helps show how sleep, naps, daily activity, and high stress can influence energy levels throughout the day.

It also supports animated on-screen workouts and workout creation in the Garmin Connect™ app, with workouts sent directly to the watch.
Health
Wellness tracking is built in for all-day awareness, including wrist-based heart rate, stress tracking, respiration, hydration logging, and a 2-minute Health Snapshot session that can generate a report to share with a health care provider. Pulse Ox blood oxygen tracking is supported (spot-check, and optional all-day and in sleep). Morning Report provides a quick overview of sleep, recovery, daily calendar, HRV status, and more upon waking.
