Setting Your Power Zones
The power zones use default values based on gender, weight, and average ability, and may not match your
personal abilities. If you know your functional threshold power (FTP) or threshold power (TP) value, you can
enter it and allow the software to calculate your power zones automatically. You can manually adjust your
zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account.

(Detecting Performance Measurements Automatically, page85).

Detecting Performance Measurements Automatically
The Auto Detection feature is turned on by default. The watch can automatically detect your maximum heart
rate and lactate threshold during an activity. When paired with a compatible power meter, the watch can
automatically detect your functional threshold power (FTP) during an activity.
NOTE: The watch detects a maximum heart rate only when your heart rate is higher than the value set in your
user profile (Setting Up Your User Profile, page83).
