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 20

).

• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app 

(

Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect

, page 18

).

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.

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite 

signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the 

GPS position.

TIP: 

For more information about GPS, go to 

www.garmin.com

/aboutGPS

.

1

Go outdoors to an open area.
The front of the device should be oriented toward the sky.

2

Wait while the device locates satellites.
It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

Improving GPS Satellite Reception

• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin Connect account:

◦ Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable 

and the Garmin Express application.

◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Connect app using your 

Bluetooth enabled smartphone.

◦ Connect your device to your Garmin Connect account 

using a Wi

Fi wireless network.

While connected to your Garmin Connect account, the device 

downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly 

locate satellite signals.

• Take your device outside to an open area away from tall 

buildings and trees.

• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
