Health and Wellness Features:
- For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
- The watch constantly samples your heart rate 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.
- See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Sports, Fitness, and Physical Activity Features:

- A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.
- Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. It adjusts for trail running and accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

- For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training load and training status.
- After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard work out. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.
- 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.
- Stay informed when you’re in the snow. This preloaded profile helps distinguish between skiing and climbing. It shows metrics specific to either ascent or descent.
- When paired with the HRM-Pro chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of your cross-country workouts.
- This watch works with the Surfline widget to give you tides, wave height, wind and surf rating for the five nearest locations and also works with the Surfline Sessions app to create videos of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera.
Navigation Features:
- Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO). Access multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved position accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don't penetrate.
- Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and 3-axis electronic compass.
- This widget shows your current elevation, acclimated elevation and correlated Pulse Ox2, heart rate and respiration rate, so you can see how you’re holding up to the current elevation.
- Use the ClimbPro ascent planner to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain as well as descents and flats.
- Download TopoActive maps via Wi-Fi connectivity from around the world or get your local region preloaded on the Sapphire edition watch to keep your explorations on track. View terrain contours, elevations, summits, parks, coastlines, rivers, lakes and other geographical features.
