Activity Tracking Settings

From your Garmin Connect device menu, select Activity Tracking.

NOTE: Some settings appear in a subcategory in the settings menu. App or website updates may change these settings menus.

Daily Steps: Allows you to enter your daily step goal. You can use the Auto Goal option to allow your watch to determine your step goal automatically.

Weekly Intensity Minutes: Allows you to enter a weekly goal for the number of minutes to participate in oderate to vigorous intensity activities. The watch also allows you to set a heart rate zone for moderate intensity minutes and a higher heart rate zone for vigorous intensity minutes. You can also use the default algorithm.

Move IQ: Allows you to turn on and off Move IQ events. The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns, such as walking and running.

Auto Activity Start: Allows your watch to create and save timed activities automatically when the Move IQ feature detects you have been walking or running for a minimum time threshold. You can set the minimum time threshold for running and walking.

Custom Stride Length: Allows your watch to more accurately calculate the distance traveled using your custom stride length. You can enter a known distance and the number of steps it takes to cover the distance, and Garmin Connect can calculate your step length.
