Pulse
Link
Stay together, and know everyone is safe. PulseLink puts each Crew member's direction and distance on a GPS compass radar on your Garmin wrist, with shared waypoints and an alert when someone drifts too far — plus live heart rate, steps and distance. Leader-led Crews with invite codes and up to 20 template messages, designed for groups of 2-8 people. Members join free — only the Leader subscribes.
Members join free. Leader: 14-day free trial, then $9.99/year — no payment to start.
A watch face all day — a live group view the moment you run together
PulseLink lives on your wrist as a full watch face — clock, weather, your daily metrics, even a shared team image. The moment you and your friends head out, that same screen becomes a live view of everyone's heart rate, pace and distance. One app, two modes: a personal watch face when you're solo, a shared group view when you're together.
Clock styles your way
Choose analog Hands, minimalist Rim marks, or a Digital readout — and set your own background and clock colors. A real watch face you'll want on all day.
Your image, or the Crew's
Set a custom background image for your watch face. A Crew Leader can share one image to the whole group, so every Member's watch wears the team's look — and you can switch between your own and the Leader's anytime.
Weather & ABC at a glance
A compact weather bar shows temperature, wind, pressure and altitude right on the face. Long-press to open a full compass with altimeter and barometer.
Daily body metrics
An optional physical bar surfaces your daily steps, calories and more — your body's numbers, woven right into the face.
Heat stress advisory
A personal heat-stress advisory estimates today's heat load (WBGT) from the weather and your own heart-rate reserve, with plain-language guidance. A guide only — not medical advice.
Rim meters
Slim meters along the edge keep an eye on Body Battery and stress, without cluttering the face.
A camera on your wrist
Turn a spare phone into a still camera and let its view become your watch face — a pet at home, the garden, the front door. A fresh photo every couple of minutes, stamped with the time it was taken, brightened automatically after dark. Watch it big on any phone or PC, adjust it remotely, or share it with your whole Crew.
Run together, even when apart
Garmin's LiveTrack and GroupTrack focus on routes. PulseLink focuses on the people — see your friends' pulse, pace and effort in real time, and cheer them on with template messages, all from your wrist.
Live Heart Rate
See each Member's current HR with a color-coded zone indicator. Privacy-friendly: each user can toggle HR sharing off independently.
Steps & Distance
Track each Member's daily steps and active distance. Compare effort across the group at a glance.
Location Radar
A GPS radar on the compass shows your Crew and saved waypoints around you — each with its bearing, distance and altitude difference, so you can place everyone even on a mountainside. Follow a big arrow to any target with Navigate to, get a stray alert when a Member drifts too far, and read out your exact coordinates for rescue. Location sharing is opt-in and off by default; positions are full-precision so you can actually find each other.
Weather Sharing
Optionally share your local conditions — temperature, humidity, wind direction, pressure and altitude — as a compact bar under your name. Opt-in per Member, pick your own bar color, and it refreshes automatically in the background.
Template Messages
Send pre-written cheers like 'Nice pace' or 'Hydrate' with one tap. Up to 20 customizable slots, addressed to everyone or one Member.
Invite-Only Crews
Leader creates a private Crew with an 8-character invite code. New joins require Leader approval. Kick/ban tools for unwanted Members.
Adjustable Update Rate
Leader chooses how often the Crew refreshes: 10s / 30s / 60s / 5min / 10min / Manual. Faster updates = more battery, slower = more endurance.
3-Layer Privacy Control
Pause sharing entirely (full stop), set Manual interval (no auto-send), or toggle just HR off. You stay in control of what you share.
More than a running app — a way to stay connected
PulseLink isn't surveillance — it's a quiet way to stay connected with people you care about. Whether you're training with friends or keeping an eye on a loved one's daily walk, the Crew is private (invite-only) and every Member controls what they share.
Running Crew
Friends training apart on the same morning — share pace and effort in real time, cheer each other on with template messages. The classic use case.
Watching over family
An elderly parent on a daily walk, or a child on a school commute jog — family Members can quietly confirm "they're moving, heart rate looks normal" without a phone call. Especially useful when living apart.
Couples training apart
One partner at the gym, one out for a run — share each other's effort and finish times, exchange short messages, feel like training together even when apart.
Race day support
One person racing, friends cheering from home — non-racing Members can join the Crew as observers, see live HR and pace, send encouragement messages mid-race.
Health buddies
Two or three friends keeping each other accountable on daily walks or runs. Just opening the app and seeing "they're out there too" is enough motivation.
Privacy by design
Invite-only Crews (Leader approval needed for new Members), per-user HR sharing toggle, Pause anytime, ban/kick tools. You stay in control of who sees what.
