3.17.1.1. Using HR zones when exercising
When you record an exercise (see 3.26. Recording an exercise), and have selected heart rate
as an intensity target (see 3.26.1. Using targets when exercising), an HR zone gauge, divided
into
five sections, is shown around the outer edge of the sport mode display (for all sport
modes that support HR). The gauge indicates in which HR zone you are currently training by
lighting up the corresponding section. The small arrow in the gauge indicates where you are
within the zone range.
Your watch alerts you when you hit your selected target zone. During your exercise the watch
will prompt you to speed up or slow down, if your heart rate is outside the selected target
zone.
In addition, there is a dedicated display for HR zones in the sport mode default display. The
zone display shows your current HR zone in the middle
field, how long you have been in that
zone, and how far away you are in beats per minute to the next zones up or down. The
background color of the bar also indicates which HR zone you are training in.
