| PWR | Current power in watt. |
| PWR 3s | Power information in watt averaged over the last 3 seconds. |
| PWR 5s | Power information in watt averaged over the last 5 seconds. |
| PWR 10s | Power information in watt averaged over the last 10 seconds. |

Notes
Note 1
This information is only precise enough on watches with barometric altimeter as altitude information cannot be derived precisely from GPS.
For further details, please click here.
Note 2
Information is only precise if you have an ANT+ speed sensor and a barometric altimeter on your watch. Especially if relative altitude information
is derived from GPS, then it will not be very precise due to the physical limitations of GPS as described here. For further details, please
click here.
Note 3
Temperature sensor support is only possible if your Garmin device has an internal temperature sensor.
Please note that the update frequency depends on the device and can take 30 seconds up to 5 minutes.
