many years (with the exception of minor injuries) and has a
resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or less.

abilities. If you know your functional threshold power (FTP)
value, you can enter it and allow the software to calculate your
power zones automatically. You can manually adjust your zones
on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.

Activity Tracking
The activity tracking feature records your daily step count,
distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories
burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories
burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories.
The number of steps taken during the day appears on the steps
widget. The step count is updated periodically.
For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric
accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.
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
À
.
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 red 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 29).
Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the
move alert.
Sleep Tracking
While you are sleeping, the device 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 levels, and sleep movement. 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, page 15).
Using Automated Sleep Tracking
1
Wear your device while sleeping.
2
Upload your sleep tracking data to the Garmin Connect site
(Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect Mobile,
page 23).
You can view your sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect
account.
Using Do Not Disturb Mode
You can use do not disturb mode to turn off the backlight, tone
alerts, and vibration alerts. For example, you can use this mode
while sleeping or watching a movie.
NOTE: You can set your normal sleep hours in the user settings
on your Garmin Connect account. You can enable the Sleep
Time option in the system settings to automatically enter do not
