Whenever you wear the HRM‍-Fit™ heart rate monitor, it monitors your daily activity metrics. The activity tracking feature records your step count, calories, intensity minutes, and all-day heart rate. To use this feature, you must pair your heart rate monitor and any other Garmin^® devices with your Garmin Connect™ account (Pairing the Heart Rate Monitor with the Garmin Connect App).

After it is paired, the heart rate monitor sends activity data to your Garmin Connect account whenever the monitor is awake and within range of your phone. If you wear only the heart rate monitor during an activity, the TrueUp™ feature sends activity tracking data to the daily summary section in Garmin Connect and to your compatible Garmin devices.
