Wireless Sensors Your watch can be paired and used with wireless sensors using ANT+ or Bluetooth technology (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 61).

For information about specific Garmin sensor compatibility, purchasing, or to view the owner's manual, go to buy.garmin.com for that sensor.

Some heart rate monitors can also store data or provide advanced running data (Running Dynamics, page 62) (Running Power, page 62). Foot Pod You can use a foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak.
