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 (System Settings, page43).
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 (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page5).
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 device 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). You can work toward achieving
your weekly intensity minutes goal by participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of moderate to vigorous
intensity activities. The device 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 Venu Sq device calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average resting
heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps
per minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes.
• Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or vigorous intensity level.
• Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
Garmin Move IQ
™
When your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event
and displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show activity type and duration, but they do not appear in
your activities list or newsfeed.
The Move IQ feature can automatically start a timed activity for walking and running using time thresholds you
set in the Garmin Connect app. These activities are added to your activities list.
