Getting Your FTP Estimate
Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP)
estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power
meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,
page 31), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting
Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 14).
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP. The
device will automatically detect your FTP during rides at a
steady, high intensity with heart rate and power.

to keep your current FTP (Turning Off Performance
Notifications, page 13).
Conducting an FTP Test
Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional
threshold power (FTP), you must pair a chest heart rate monitor
and a power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless
Sensors, page 31), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate
(Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 14).
NOTE: The FTP test is a challenging workout that takes about
30 minutes to complete. Choose a practical and mostly flat route
that allows you to ride at a steadily increasing effort, similar to a

Pulse Oximeter
The fēnix 5X Plus device has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to
gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing your
oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is
acclimating to high altitudes for alpine sport and expedition.
When you view the pulse oximeter widget while you are not
moving, your device analyzes your oxygen saturation and your
elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your pulse
oximeter readings are changing, relative to your to elevation.
On the device, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an
oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph. On your
Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about
your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple
days.

after several minutes of inactivity.

Select to view a graph of your pulse oximeter readings for
the last seven days.
Turning On All-Day Acclimation Mode
From the pulse oximeter widget, select > DOWN > OK.

Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data
If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear, you can
try these tips.
Remain motionless while the device reads your blood oxygen
saturation.
Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should
be snug but comfortable.
Hold the arm wearing the device at heart level while the
device reads your blood oxygen saturation.
Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under
the device.
Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the device.
