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 sync your device.
1
Select an option:
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect application
(Syncing Your Data with Your Computer, page
• Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app
(Syncing Your Data with the Garmin Connect App,
page 7).
2
Wait while the device syncs your data.
Syncing can take several minutes.
NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin
Connect application does not sync your data or update your
step count.

My stress level does not appear

Before the device can detect your stress level, wrist-based heart
rate monitoring must be turned on.
The device samples your heart rate variability throughout the
day during periods of inactivity to determine your stress level.
The device does not determine your stress level during timed
activities.
If dashes appear instead of your stress level, be still, and wait
while the device measures your heart rate variability.

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.

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.
