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.
NOTE: Naps are not added to your sleep statistics. You can use do not disturb mode to turn off notifications
and alerts, with the exception of alarms
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 Venu Sq 2 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.
The Move IQ feature can automatically start a timed activity for walking and running using time thresholds you
set in the Garmin Connect app or the watch activity settings. These activities are added to your activities list.
