WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
RUNNING ECONOMY

Train for an event, achieve a milestone, or improve your fitness with Garmin Coach training plans for running, triathlon, cycling or strength. Select plans adapt daily for personalised workouts based on your performance, recovery and health metrics.
TRAINING READINESS
From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy.
BUILT-IN SPEAKER AND MICROPHONE
Make and take phone calls from your watch when it’s paired to your smartphone. Plus, control watch functions with voice command — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more.
