and its impact on your Body Battery level.
Move Alert: Enables or disables the Move Alert feature
(Using the Move Alert, page31).
Goal Alerts: Allows you to turn on and off goal alerts,
or turn them off only during activities. Goal alerts
appear for your daily steps goal, daily floors
climbed goal, and weekly intensity minutes goal.
Move IQ: Allows you to turn on and off Move IQ events.
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.
Auto Goal
Your device creates a daily step goal automatically,
based on your previous activity levels. As you move
during the day, the device 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 move 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34).
Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to
reset the move alert.
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 Instinct E 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.
y Start a timed activity for the most accurate
calculation of intensity minutes.
y Wear your watch all day and night for the most
accurate resting heart rate.
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 Garmin Connect app or in the watch
settings (Customizing Sleep Mode, page35). Sleep
statistics include total hours of sleep, sleep stages,
sleep movement, and sleep score. Your sleep coach
provides sleep need recommendations based on
your sleep and activity history, HRV status, and naps
(Glances, page13). Naps are added to your sleep
statistics, and can also impact your recovery. You can
view detailed sleep statistics on your Garmin Connect
account.
NOTE: You can use do not disturb mode to turn off
notifications and alerts, with the exception of alarms
(Controls, page16).
