About My Day

The My Day widget is a daily snapshot of your activity.
This is a dynamic summary that updates throughout
the day. As soon as you climb a flight of stairs or
record an activity, it appears in the widget. The metrics
include your last recorded sport, intensity minutes for
the week, floors climbed, steps, calories burned, and
more. You can tap the touchscreen for an option to
improve accuracy or to view additional metrics.

Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level

Your device analyzes your heart rate variability while
you are inactive to determine your overall stress.
Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general
life stress all impact your stress level. The stress level
range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is a resting state,
26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium stress,
and 76 to 100 is a high stress state. Knowing your
stress level can help you identify stressful moments
throughout your day. For best results, you should wear
the device while sleeping.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect
account to view your all-day stress level, long-term
trends, and additional details.

Using the Stress Level Widget

The stress level widget displays your current stress
level and a graph of your stress level for the last
several hours. It can also guide you through a
breathing activity to help you relax.
1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe to view the
stress level widget.
TIP: If you are too active for the watch to
determine your stress level, a message appears
instead of a stress level number. You can check
your stress level again after several minutes of
inactivity.
2 Tap the touchscreen to view a graph of your stress
level for the last four hours.
Blue bars indicate periods of rest. Yellow bars
indicate periods of stress. Gray bars indicate times
that you were too active to determine your stress
level.
3 To start a breathing activity, swipe up, select Yes,
and enter a duration for the breathing activity in
minutes.
