When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance,
and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.

TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.

Calibrating the Treadmill Distance

To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you
can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at least 1.5 km
(1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can
manually calibrate the treadmill distance on each treadmill or
after each run.

Swimming

NOTICE

The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with

Swim Terminology

Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts

after a rest.

Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the

device completes a full cycle.

Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool

length and the number of strokes for that length. For
example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of

45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25

4 Activities and Apps

meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and,
like golf, a lower score is better.

Stroke Types

Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming.
Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types
appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect
account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field
(Customizing the Data Screens, page 17).

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 6) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set
separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running,
cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data
during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also
set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate
manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or
using your Garmin Connect account.

From the watch face, hold MENU.

resting heart rate).

Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone.

separate heart rate zones (optional).

Letting the Device Set Your Heart Rate Zones

The default settings use your profile information to set your
maximum heart rate and your heart rate zones as a percentage
of your maximum heart rate.

• Verify that your user profile settings are accurate (Setting Up

Your User Profile, page 5).

• Run often with the wrist or chest heart rate monitor.

• Try a few heart rate training plans, available from your
Garmin Connect account.

• View your heart rate trends and time in zones using your

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.

For more information about activity tracking and fitness metric
accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.

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 22).

Go for a short walk (at least a couple of minutes) to reset the
move alert.

Sleep Tracking

While you are sleeping, the device 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 levels, and sleep movement. 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 (Using Do Not Disturb Mode, page 6).

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.

6 Training

Earning Intensity Minutes

Your Instinct Solar 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.

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.

Activity Tracking Settings

Hold MENU, and select Settings > Activity Tracking.
Status: Turns off the activity tracking features.
Move Alert: Displays a message and the move bar on the

digital watch face and steps screen. The device also beeps
or vibrates if audible tones are turned on (System Settings,

page 22).

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.
Sleep Pulse Ox: Sets your device to record pulse oximeter

readings while you are inactive during the day or
continuously while you sleep.

intensity minutes, sleep tracking, and Move IQ events are not
recorded.
