Activity Tracking
The activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed,
calories burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories burned includes your base
metabolism plus activity calories.
The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps widget. The step count is updated periodically.

Auto Goal
Your device creates a daily step goal automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As you move during
the day, the device shows your progress toward your daily goal .
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set a personalized step goal on your Garmin Connect
account.
Using the Move Alert
Sitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert reminds
you to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity, Move! and the red bar appear. Additional segments appear
after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible tones are turned on (
).
Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert.
Sleep Tracking
While you are sleeping, the device automatically detects your sleep and monitors your movement during your
normal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect account.
Sleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages, and sleep movement. You can view your sleep
statistics on your Garmin Connect account.
