Heart Rate Zone Setting in Venu 3

Hi 

I am new to Garmin and I am using Venu3 (v12.11).

When setting the heart rate zone, I realised Venu3 default to simply defining the heart rate zone as percentage of MaxHR.

Is there a way for me to set the heart rate zone using the Karvonen Formula by taking into account resting heart rate? The custom feature allow you to set the heart rate manually but it is still based on the percentage of MaxHR which is quite cumbersome (at least it should allow us to set based on heart rate value itself rather than as a percentage of MaxHR).

Does anyone encounter this issue and what is your way to overcome this?

If Garmin is reading this, hope you can consider modifying the custom heart rate zone feature to simply allowing the user to set the heart rate value (not based on percentage).

  • I just used Connect/More/Garmin Devices/Venu 3/User Profile/Heart Rate. You just set your Max Heart Rate (I had to tweak mine due to Beta Blockers). Then work out your upper & lower trading zone levels as  percentages of your Max Heart Rate and set them. End result is the same - it's dead easy to do.
