About My Day

The My Day widget is a daily snapshot of your activity. This is a 

dynamic summary that updates throughout the day. As soon as 

you climb a flight of stairs or record an activity, it appears in the 

widget. The metrics include recorded activities, intensity minutes 

for the week, floors climbed, steps, calories burned, and more. 

You can tap the touchscreen for an option to improve accuracy 

or to view additional metrics.

Viewing the Weather Widget

1

From the watch face, swipe to view the weather widget.

2

Tap the touchscreen to view hourly and daily weather data.

3

Scroll down to view daily weather data.

Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level

Your device analyzes your heart rate variability while you are 

inactive to determine your overall stress. Training, physical 

activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your 

stress level. The stress level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 

25 is a resting state, 26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium 

stress, and 76 to 100 is a high stress state. Knowing your stress 

level can help you identify stressful moments throughout your 

day. For best results, you should wear the device while sleeping.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to 

view your all-day stress level, long-term trends, and additional 

details.

Using the Stress Level Widget

The stress level widget displays your current stress level and a 

graph of your stress level for the last several hours. It can also 

guide you through a breathing activity to help you relax.

1

While you are sitting or inactive, swipe to view the stress 

level widget.

TIP: 

If you are too active for the watch to determine your 

stress level, a message appears instead of a stress level 

number. You can check your stress level again after several 

minutes of inactivity.

2

Tap the touchscreen to view a graph of your stress level for 

the last four hours.
Blue bars indicate periods of rest. Yellow bars indicate 

periods of stress. Gray bars indicate times that you were too 

active to determine your stress level.
