In today’s society, the pressure women feel to do it all can lead to more sources of stress. What’s worse is that stress actually affects women differently than it does men and can result in depression and anxiety, increased heart rate and pressure, weight gain, pregnancy issues and menstruation problems. Luckily, Garmin smartwatches monitor your stress levels 24/7, so you’ll know when it’s present and can manage it from there¹.

When you do find stress is present, breathwork is one way to get yourself feeling back on track. Whether you want to reduce stress, increase awareness, improve mental sharpness, boost work performance or prepare for sleep, breathwork — or mindful breathing — can help. Use the breathwork activity to practice three different breathing techniques: tranquility, coherence, and relax and focus.

A woman’s menstrual cycle can be an indication of overall health — so whether your period is regular or irregular or you’re transitioning into menopause or you don’t have a period, tracking the physical and emotional symptoms you experience can help you see the bigger picture. Our Menstrual Cycle Tracking feature in the Garmin Connect™ app puts that information right at your fingertips when you pair your watch to your compatible smartphone. When wearing select smartwatches while sleeping, the skin temperature feature provides improved period predictions and past ovulation estimates². If you’re pregnant, you can still stay in tune with your body by using pregnancy tracking. Record how you’re feeling every day, learn how your body may be changing, receive exercise and nutrition education, track baby movement, and so much more.
