Wrist-Based Heart Rate

On your wrist, Elevate wrist heart rate technology lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, the watch uses heart rate to provide calories burned, information and quantify the intensity of your fitness activities. It also measures your heart rate variability to calculate a stress score that helps you assess what level of activity your body is ready for.

Advanced Sleep Monitoring

The Forerunner 955 Solar will also monitor your sleep to keep tabs on your well-being and how much rested sleep you're getting each night. Using a Pulse Ox sensor4, the Forerunner 955 estimates your blood oxygen saturation so you can see how well your body's absorbing oxygen when you sleep. This technology also shows when your body is likely to be at optimum performance so you can plan your day around peak activity times.

Advanced Performance Analytics

Through the Forerunner 955 you can receive personalised training and recovery insights to help you prepare for future races. It works to keep track of your maximal oxygen uptake during exercise and understands how external factors may affect your performance. The Forerunner uses this data to evaluate your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you're training productively, peaking or overreaching. It can also view your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume from the last seven days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history. The Forerunner 955 also allows you to view your entire week of daily suggested workouts, which adapt after every run to match your performance and recovery.
