Activity Tracking

The number of steps taken during the day appears 

on the steps widget. The step count is updated 

periodically.
For more information about activity tracking and 

fitness metric accuracy, go to

.

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 

1

.

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 vibrates if vibration is turned on 

(

System Settings, page 

24

).

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 

3

).

Intensity Minutes

To improve your health, organizations such as 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 activityminutes. Your total 

vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when added.

Earning Intensity Minutes

Your vívoactive 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.

 

y

Start a timed activity for the most accurate 

calculation of intensity minutes.

 

y

Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a 

moderate or vigorous intensity level.

 

y

Wear your device all day and night for the most 

accurate resting heart rate.

Garmin Move IQ

When your movements match familiar exercise 

patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects 

the event and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ 

events show activity type and duration, but they do not 

appear in your activities list or newsfeed.
The Move IQ feature can automatically start a timed 

activity for walking and running using time thresholds 

you set in the Garmin Connect app. These activities 

are added to your activities list.

for moderate intensity minutes and a higher heart 

rate zone for vigorous intensity minutes. You can
