My daily step count does not appear

The daily step count is reset every night at midnight.

If dashes appear instead of your step count, allow the device 

to acquire satellite signals and set the time automatically.

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these 

tips.
• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.
• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or 

lawn mower.

• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your 

hands or arms only.

NOTE: 

The device may interpret some repetitive motions, 

such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your 

hands, as steps.

The step counts on my device and my Garmin 

Connect account don't match

The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when 

you sync your device.

1

Select an option:
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect application 

(

Using Garmin Connect on Your Computer

, page 14

).

• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app 

(

Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect

, page 14

).

2

Wait while the device syncs your data.
Syncing can take several minutes.

NOTE: 

Refreshing the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin 

Connect application does not sync your data or update your 

step count.

The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate

Your device uses an internal barometer to measure elevation 

changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is equal to 3 m 

(10 ft.).
• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing 

stairs.

• In windy environments, cover the device with your sleeve or 

jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings.

My intensity minutes are flashing

When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward 

your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes flash.

Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or 

vigorous intensity level.
