Heart rate zones on data screen

9693000 10 days ago

Hi everyone,
On my Forerunner, I have the option to display the current heart rate zone as colored bars on the data screen during an activity (see photo). I can’t seem to find this feature on the Edge 840.
Can anyone help me with this?

Best regards

Simon

Check under graphical data fields, heart rate bars or HR zone graph. You may need a larger data field box to display it clearly. Not exactly the same, but you may like it.

The built-in graphical data fields by Garmin need larger data field boxes - in a small data field box they all only show the digital heart rate and no graphics, at least on my 840. If it is o.k. for you to use a larger data field boxes than you should be fine with the built-in graphical data fields as recommended by 6978990.

If you want to use a small data field box, than you can look for a connect IQ data field like this one:

(there is also a power data field with power zones for small boxes from the same author if you like how it looks)

I use the heart rate zone field. It isn't graphical but I find it better because it converts my heart rate to zones more accurately. If I'm at the front of a fast group, when it gets to 5.0, I know I need to rotate to the back!
