About

Sauna Laps tracks your sauna sessions with heart rate, respiration and stress - all recorded natively on your watch. HOW IT WORKS Press START to begin. Press BACK to log a lap and switch between SAUNA and REST phases. The app counts your rounds and times each phase separately. Press START again to pause, save or discard. FEATURES - Live heart rate with a circular HR-zone indicator - Respiration rate and stress tracked natively (Breathwork profile) - Calories calculated from your heart rate - works even without movement - Estimated sweat loss in ml, based on energy burned - Separate timing for sauna and rest rounds - Optional sauna alarm - set a target time with UP/DOWN before you start, get a vibration alert - On-watch summary right after saving (rounds, times, calories, sweat, average heart rate) - Detailed stats in Garmin Connect: sauna/rest time, rounds, calories, sweat estimate, average and max heart rate, stress before and after NOTE ON ACTIVITY TYPE This app uses the Breathwork profile so your watch can record respiration and stress natively. In Garmin Connect the activity may appear as "Breathwork" - you can rename it with the pencil icon if you wish. NOTE ON ESTIMATES Calories and sweat loss are estimates calculated from heart rate and your user profile (age, weight, gender). Actual values vary by individual. PRIVACY This app does not collect, store or transmit any personal data outside the watch.

What's new

Calories are now calculated from your heart rate, so they work correctly during sauna sessions. Added an estimated sweat loss (in ml) based on energy burned, plus total average and max heart rate in the activity summary. Improved on-screen layout so values no longer overlap.
