Activity Tracking

The activity tracking feature records your daily step count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, 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 in your Garmin Connect™ account. The step count is updated periodically.

When wheelchair mode is enabled, the device records different metrics, such as pushes instead of steps (Wheelchair Mode).

For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.
