Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the watch completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length. For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is better.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor your improvement.

Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming. Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data Screens, page 31).

Tack Assist
CAUTION The watch uses GPS-based course over ground to determine your course in the tack assist feature, and does not account for other factors that can affect your boat’s direction, such as currents and tides. You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel.
While cruising or racing into the wind, the tack assist feature can help you determine if your boat is being lifted or headed. When you calibrate tack assist, the watch captures your boat’s port and starboard course over ground (COG) measurements, and uses the COG data to calculate the mean true wind direction and the boat’s tack angle .

The watch uses this data to determine whether your boat is being lifted or headed due to wind shifts.
By default, the tack assist feature is set to automatic. Each time you calibrate the port or starboard COG, the watch recalibrates the opposite side and true wind direction. You can change the tack assist settings to enter a fixed tack angle or true wind direction.

Jumpmaster
WARNING The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced skydivers only. The jumpmaster feature should not be used as a primary skydiving altimeter. Failure to input the appropriate jump related information can lead to serious personal injury or death.
The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The watch detects automatically when you have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic compass.
Planning a Jump
1 Select a jump type (Jump Types, page 28). 2 Enter the jump information (Entering Jump Information, page 29).
The device calculates the HARP. 3 Select Go To HARP to start navigation to the HARP.
Jump Types
The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type selected determines what additional setup information is required. For all jump types, drop altitudes and opening altitudes are measured in feet above ground level (AGL). HAHO: High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute
at a high altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least 1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to be the same as the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet AGL. HALO: High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude. The required information is the same as the HAHO jump type, plus an opening altitude. The opening altitude must not be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an opening altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL. Static: The wind speed and direction are assumed to be constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude must be at least 1,000 feet.

Some alerts are available only for specific activities. There are three types of alerts: event alerts, range alerts, and recurring alerts.
Event alert: An event alert notifies you one time. The event is a specific value. For example, you can set the watch to alert you when you burn a specified number of calories.
Range alert: A range alert notifies you each time the watch is above or below a specified range of values. For example, you can set the watch to alert you when your heart rate is below 60 beats per minute (bpm) and over 210 bpm.
Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you each time the watch records a specified value or interval. For example, you can set the watch to alert you every 30 minutes.

Power Guide
You can create and use a power strategy to plan your effort on a course. Your MARQ device uses your FTP, the course elevation, and the projected time it will take you to complete the course to create a customized power guide. One of the most important steps in planning a successful power guide strategy is choosing your effort level. Putting a harder effort into the course will increase the power recommendations, while choosing an easier effort will reduce them (Creating and Using a Power Guide, page 45). The primary goal of a power guide is to help you complete the course based on what is known about your ability, not to achieve a specific target time. You can adjust the effort level during your ride. Power guides are always associated with a course and cannot be used with workouts or segments. You can view and edit your strategy in Garmin Connect and sync it with compatible Garmin devices. This feature requires a power meter, which must be paired with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 81). After the devices are paired, you can customize the optional data fields (Data Fields, page 123).
Creating and Using a Power Guide
Before you can create a power guide, you must pair a power meter with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 81).

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 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is medium reserve energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy, and 76 to 100 is very 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 53).
Tips for Improved Body Battery Data
· For more accurate results, wear the watch while sleeping.
· Good sleep charges your Body Battery.
· Strenuous activity and high stress can cause your Body Battery to drain more quickly.
· 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 AnalyticsTM.
