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 

À

.

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 (

System Settings

, page 28

).

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 levels, and sleep movement. You can view 

your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.

NOTE: 

Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use 

do not disturb mode to turn off notifications and alerts, with the 

exception of alarms (

Using Do Not Disturb Mode

, page 15

).

Using Automated Sleep Tracking

1

Wear your device while sleeping.

2

Upload your sleep tracking data to the Garmin Connect site 

(

Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect Mobile

page 22

).

You can view your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect 

account.

Using Do Not Disturb Mode

You can use do not disturb mode to turn off the backlight, tone 

alerts, and vibration alerts. For example, you can use this mode 

while sleeping or watching a movie.

NOTE: 

You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings 

on your Garmin Connect account. You can enable the Sleep 

Time option in the system settings to automatically enter do not 

disturb mode during your normal sleep hours (

Intensity Minutes

To improve your health, organizations such as the U.S. Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Heart 

Association

®

, and the World Health Organization, recommend at 

least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, such 

as brisk walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity 

activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks your time 

spent participating in moderate to vigorous intensity activities 

(heart rate data is required to quantify vigorous intensity). You 

can work toward achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by 

participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of moderate to 

vigorous intensity activities. The device adds the amount of 

moderate activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity 

minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when 

added.

Earning Intensity Minutes

Your Descent Mk1 device calculates intensity minutes by 

comparing your heart rate data to your average resting heart 

rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate 

intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of 

intensity minutes.

• Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or 

vigorous intensity level.

• Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate 

resting heart rate.

Garmin Move IQ

 Events

The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns, 

such as walking, running, biking, swimming, and elliptical 

training, for at least 10 minutes. You can view the event type 

and duration on your Garmin Connect timeline, but they do not 

appear in your activities list, snapshots, or newsfeed. For more 

detail and accuracy, you can record a timed activity on your 

device.
