Activity Tracking
The activity tracking feature records your daily step
count, distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed,
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 on the
steps widget. The step count is updated periodically.

Auto Goal
Your watch creates a daily step goal automatically, based
on your previous activity levels. As you move during the
day, the watch shows your progress toward your daily goal
.
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can
set a personalized step goal on your Garmin Connect
account.
Using the Move Alert
Sitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger
undesirable metabolic state changes. The move alert
reminds you to keep moving. After one hour of inactivity,
Move! and the red bar appear. Additional segments
appear after every 15 minutes of inactivity. The device
also beeps or vibrates if audible tones are turned on
(System Settings,
page 55).
Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to
reset the move alert.
Sleep Tracking
While you are sleeping, the watch 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 account.
Sleep statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages,
sleep movement, and sleep score. You can view your
sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect account.

Intensity Minutes
To improve your health, organizations such as the World
Health 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 watch 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). The watch adds the amount of moderate
activity minutes with the amount of vigorous activity
minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled
when added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your MARQ watch calculates intensity minutes by
comparing your heart rate data to your average resting
heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the watch calculates
moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per
minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation
of intensity minutes.
• Wear your watch all day and night for the most
accurate resting heart rate.
Garmin Move IQ
™
When your movements match familiar exercise patterns,
the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and
displays it in your timeline. The Move IQ events show
activity type and duration, but they do not appear in your
activities list or newsfeed. For more detail and accuracy,
you can record a timed activity on your device.
