The step counts on my watch and my Garmin Connect account don't match
The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when you sync your watch.
1 Select an option:
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Express application (Syncing Your Data with Your Computer,
page23).
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app (Syncing Your Data with the Garmin Connect App,
page23).
2 Wait while your data syncs.
Syncing can take several minutes.
NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin Express application does not sync your data or
update your step count.
My stress level does not appear
Before the watch can detect your stress level, wrist-based heart rate monitoring must be turned on.
The watch samples your heart rate variability throughout the day during periods of inactivity to determine your
stress level. The watch does not determine your stress level during timed activities.
If dashes appear instead of your stress level, be still, and wait while the watch measures your heart rate
variability.
My intensity minutes are flashing
When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes
flash.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the watch.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under the watch.
• Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the watch.
• Wear the watch above your wrist bone. The watch should be snug but comfortable.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading before starting your activity.
NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after each workout.
Tips for Improved Body Battery Data
• For more accurate results, wear the watch while sleeping.
• Good sleep charges your Body Battery.
• Strenuous activity and high stress can cause your Body Battery to drain more quickly.
• Food intake, as well as stimulants like caffeine, has no impact on your Body Battery.
