GOAL

The number of remaining steps needed to reach your step 
goal for the day. The device learns and proposes a new goal

day.

device updates the time and date when you synchronize 
your device to a computer or mobile device.
Your current heart rate and heart rate zone from a paired 
heart rate monitor.

Auto Goal
Your device creates a daily step goal automatically based on 

your previous activity levels. As you begin your walk or run, the 

device counts down the number of remaining steps in your daily 

goal. When you reach your step goal, the device displays 

GOAL+, and begins counting the number of steps taken that 

exceed your daily goal.
When you set up your device for the first time you must 

designate an activity level. This level determines your initial step 

goal.
If you choose not to use the auto goal feature, you can set a 

personalized step goal on your Garmin Connect account.

Move Bar
Sitting for prolonged periods of time can trigger undesirable 

metabolic state changes. The move bar reminds you to keep

inactivity.
