You can also use an optional tempe external temperature
sensor to view accurate ambient temperature readings while
wearing the watch.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.
• Reduce the backlight timeout (Changing the Backlight
Settings, page 29).
• Reduce the backlight brightness.
• Use UltraTrac GPS mode for your activity (UltraTrac,
page 27).
• Turn off Bluetooth wireless technology when you are not
using connected features (Connected Features, page 21).
• When pausing your activity for a longer period of time, use
the resume later option (Stopping an Activity, page 5).
• Turn off activity tracking (Turning Off Activity Tracking,
page 16).
• Use a Connect IQ watch face that is not updated every
second.
For example, use a watch face without a second hand
(Customizing the Watch Face, page 27).
• Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays
(Managing Notifications, page 22).
• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices
(Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices, page 8).
• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the
Wrist Heart Rate Monitor, page 9).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate
vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.
Activity Tracking
For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to
garmin.com/ataccuracy.
My daily step count does not appear
The daily step count is reset every night at midnight.
If dashes appear instead of your step count, allow the device
to acquire satellite signals and set the time automatically.
My step count does not seem accurate
If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these
tips.
• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.
• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or
lawn mower.
• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your
hands or arms only.
NOTE: The device may interpret some repetitive motions,
such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your
hands, as steps.
The step counts on my device and my Garmin
Connect account don't match
The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when
you synchronize your device.
1
Select an option:
• Synchronize your step count with the Garmin Connect
application (Using Garmin Connect on Your Computer,
page 22).
• Synchronize your step count with the Garmin Connect
Mobile app (Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect
Mobile, page 23).
2
Wait while the device synchronizes your data.
Synchronizing can take several minutes.
NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect Mobile app or the
Garmin Connect application does not synchronize your data
or update your step count.
The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate
Your device uses an internal barometer to measure elevation
changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is equal to 3 m
(10 ft.).
• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing
stairs.
• In windy environments, cover the device with your sleeve or
jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings.
My intensity minutes are flashing
When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward
your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes flash.
Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or
vigorous intensity level.
