Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data
If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear,
you can try these tips.
• Remain motionless while the watch reads your blood
oxygen saturation.
• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch
should be snug but comfortable.
• Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the
watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.
• Use a silicone or nylon band.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent
under the watch.
• Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of the
watch.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout.
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 glance. The step count is updated periodically.

metric accuracy, go to
Auto Goal
Your watch creates daily step and floors climbed goals
automatically, based on your previous activity levels. As
you move during the day, the watch shows your progress
toward your daily goal
.
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can
set personalized step and floors climbed goals 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,
a message appears, and the red bar appears on the
steps glance. Additional segments appear after every 15
minutes of inactivity. The watch also vibrates, if vibration
is 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 watch 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,
sleep movement, and sleep score. 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 (
).
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 watch 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). The watch 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 D2 Air X10 watch calculates intensity minutes by
comparing your heart rate data to your average resting
heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates
moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per
minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation
of intensity minutes.
