Requesting Assistance
NOTE: Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data
is available.
Before you can request assistance, you must set up emergency contacts (Adding Emergency Contacts,
page 70). Your emergency contacts must be able to receive emails or text messages (standard text messaging
rates may apply).
1 Hold CTRL.

Health and Wellness Settings
Hold MENU, and select Health & Wellness.
Heart Rate: Allows you to customize the wrist heart rate monitor settings (Wrist Heart Rate Monitor Settings,
page 54).
Pulse Ox Mode: Allows you to select a pulse oximeter mode (Setting the Pulse Oximeter Mode, page 55).
Move Alert: Enables or disables the Move Alert feature (Using the Move Alert, page 71).
Goal Alerts: Allows you to turn on and off goal alerts, or turn them off only during activities. Goal alerts appear
for your daily steps goal, daily floors climbed goal, and weekly intensity minutes goal.
Move IQ: Allows you to turn on and off Garmin Move IQ
™
events. When your movements match familiar exercise
patterns, the Garmin Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline. The
Garmin Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your activities list or
newsfeed. For more detail and accuracy, you can record a timed activity on your device.
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.
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 move 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 78).
Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the move alert.
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.
