Body Battery
Your watch analyzes your heart rate variability, stress
level, sleep quality, and activity data to determine your
overall Body Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it
indicates your amount of available reserve energy. The
Body Battery level range is from 5 to 100, where 5 to
25 is very low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is low reserve
energy, 51 to 75 is medium reserve energy, and 76 to
100 is high reserve energy.
You can sync your watch with your Garmin Connect
account to view your most up-to-date Body Battery
level, long-term trends, and additional details (Tips for
Improved Body Battery Data, page15).
Tips for Improved Body Battery Data
y For more accurate results, wear the watch while
sleeping.
y Good sleep charges your Body Battery.
y Strenuous activity and high stress can cause your
Body Battery to drain more quickly.
y Food intake, as well as stimulants like caffeine, has
no impact on your Body Battery.
Performance Measurements
These performance measurements are estimates
that can help you track and understand your training
activities and race performances. The measurements
require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate
or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. Cycling
performance measurements require a heart rate
monitor and a power meter.
These estimates are provided and supported by
Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to Garmin.
com/performance-data/running.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The
watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn
about your performance.
VO2 max�: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of
oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute
per kilogram of body weight at your maximum
performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates,
page15).
Predicted race times: The watch uses the VO2 max.
estimate and your training history to provide
a target race time based on your current state
of fitness (Viewing Your Predicted Race Times,
page16).
HRV status: The watch analyzes your wrist heart rate
readings while you are sleeping to determine your
heart rate variability (HRV) status based on your
personal, long-term HRV averages (Heart Rate
Variability Status, page16).
About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in
milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of
body weight at your maximum performance. In simple
terms, VO2 max. is an indication of cardiovascular
strength and should increase as your level of fitness
improves. The Instinct E watch requires wrist-based
heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor
to display your VO2 max. estimate. The watch has
separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling.
You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a
compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity
for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max.
estimate.
On the watch, your VO2 max. estimate appears as
a number and description. On your Garmin Connect
account, you can view additional details about your VO2
max. estimate.
VO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics.
