About

Cold plunge, sauna and contrast therapy on your wrist. Hot, cold and rest rounds in one activity, big white digits you can read wet and in the dark, and a session saved to Garmin Connect with your heart rate and the temperatures you enter. One purchase. No licence codes, no phone app, no trial, no subscription. WHAT IT DOES - Three modes: Sauna, Cold Plunge, Contrast (hot → cold → rest, repeated, with a round counter). - Set a target for each phase, or leave it open. A buzz tells you when the target is reached; the phase only changes when you press START, so the timer never throws you out of the plunge early. - Every phase is a lap in Garmin Connect, with its own time and heart rate. - Enter your sauna and water temperature at the end (°C or °F). They are saved into the activity. - Live heart rate, wrist temperature where your watch has a sensor, and the time of day on the session screen. - Dim mode for dark saunas. Vibration off, gentle or strong. Optional buzz every minute. MADE FOR WET HANDS - Touch is ignored during a session, so water drops cannot flip a phase. - Water guard: START and BACK need a second press within 1.5 seconds. Turn it off in Settings if you prefer. - Works with just START and BACK on every watch. CONTROLS UP/DOWN: mode · START: begin · START: next phase · BACK: pause menu (resume, next phase, end and save, discard) · UP/DOWN during a session: dim · MENU: settings. SAFETY Garmin rates its watches to 45 °C; saunas run at 70 to 100 °C. Wearing a watch in a sauna is at your own risk and may void the warranty. Cold plunge and contrast therapy are within the watch's rating.
