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 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.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your vívomove 3/3S device calculates intensity minutes by comparing your heart rate data to your average
resting heart rate. If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your
steps per minute.
• Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes.
• Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or vigorous intensity level.
• Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
Body Battery
Your device analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level, sleep quality, and activity data to determine your
overall Body Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your amount of available reserve energy. The
Body Battery level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is medium reserve
energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy, and 76 to 100 is very high reserve energy.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to view your most up-to-date Body Battery level,
long-term trends, and additional details
Viewing the Body Battery Widget
The Body Battery widget displays your current Body Battery level.
1 Swipe to view the Body Battery widget.
2 Tap the touchscreen to view the Body Battery graph.
The graph displays your recent Body Battery activity, and high and low levels for the last hour.
Improving Calorie Accuracy
The device displays an estimate of your total calories burned for the current day. You can improve the accuracy
of this estimate by walking briskly for up to 15 minutes.
1 Swipe to view the calories screen.

NOTE:
appears when calories need to be calibrated. This calibration process only needs to be completed
once. If you have already recorded a timed walk or run,
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
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.
