Sleep Tracking
While you are sleeping, the device automatically
detects your sleep and monitors your movement during
your normal sleep hours. You can set your normal sleep
hours in the user settings on your Garmin Connect

Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the
American Heart Association
Organization, recommend at least 150 minutes per
week of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk
walking, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity
activity, such as running.
The device monitors your activity intensity and tracks
your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous
intensity activities (heart rate data is required to
quantify vigorous intensity). You can work toward
achieving your weekly intensity minutes goal by
participating in at least 10 consecutive minutes of
moderate to vigorous intensity activities. The device
adds the amount of moderate activity minutes with
the amount of vigorous activity minutes. Your total
vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when added.
