Garmin Watches That Support Running Dynamics

Running dynamics are a make up of up to seven different running metrics when using a compatible watch. They include:

Do I Need an Accessory to Get Running Dynamics?

In order to record all seven running dynamics you must use a compatible running accessory paired via ANT+® wireless protocol with a compatible watch. The following Garmin® fitness accessories can be used in conjunction with a compatible watch:

  • HRM-Fit™ monitor

  • HRM-Pro™ monitor

  • HRM-Pro™ Plus monitor

  • HRM-Run™ monitor

  • HRM-Tri™ monitor

  • Running Dynamics Pod

Can I Use A Third Party Running Accessory?

Third party sensors may be capable of providing running dynamics using the ANT+ RD profile standard. Contact the manufacturer to verify if your accessory has any running dynamics using this standard ANT+ profile.
