Can I configure heart rate zones on s60 with heart rate chest strap?

I think I know the answer, but cant find a definitive explanation.

As the s60 doesn't have a wrist based heart rate monitor, is it not possible to configure heart rate zones?

Does this mean that intensity minutes will only be shown as moderate, and not possible to earn vigorous minutes?

I have a chest strap heart rate monitor for running, but the standard heart rate zones are off for me, says I'm running at 98% of max for 15+ minutes at a time, which im pretty sure would be heart attack territory. Not the end of the world if not, but would be nice to have it a little more accurate.

Thanks in advance.

You are correct. Since there is not an OHR sensor on the watch along with the special software within the watch that goes along with the OHR sensor abilities, the heart rate zones cannot be configured within the watch.

You can still configure your heart rate zones within the Connect Mobile APP or online in your Garmin Connect account.

Thanks. I used to have a vivoactive, and I know where to configure the heart rate zones in the app for that, but they do not appear in the settings for my Approach S60. Is there a different place to configure depending on what unit I have?

Hi, I have the same problem. I can't find a way to adjust the heart rate zones. Could You please advice ?

I wrote a report and forwarded it to our engineers. They are looking into the Heart Rate Zones being added into Garmin Connect so they can be adjusted for those that use a HRM-strap with their Approach S60.

Our engineers have stated that this is by design and the Approach S60 will not have adjustable heart rate zones.
