Integrated LED Flashlight

Variable light intensities and a red safety light keep you alert during nighttime training and can provide pleasant illumination when needed. The strobe mode can even adjust to your running speed.

Hill Points

This feature measures your ability to run uphill and evaluates your progress over time based on your VO2max and training experience. It assesses your running power on steep climbs and your endurance on long ascents, providing a score based on your performance over time.

Endurance Points

This feature measures your ability to sustain longer efforts and combines training data from all your athletic activities to help you understand how training affects your overall endurance. This dynamic measurement uses your VO2max, short-term and long-term training loads, and other factors to assess your fitness progress beyond just VO2max.

Robust Design

The rugged, sporty design features a bright, scratch-resistant 1.2-inch sapphire AMOLED display, a responsive touchscreen, traditional buttons, and a 42 mm fiber-reinforced polymer case with a steel or titanium bezel and back cover. The watch has been tested to US military standards for heat, shock, and water resistance.

Knowledge is Power

Your health and training data should be easy to understand and provide actionable insights. Start each day with a customizable morning report and see a daily summary of health and wellness information. Utilize the training readiness feature, which considers various health metrics to maximize your training efficiency and recovery while avoiding overtraining.
