minutes. Your total vigorous intensity minutes are doubled when
added.
Earning Intensity Minutes
Your vívoactive 3 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
The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns,
such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, and elliptical
training, for at least 10 minutes. You can view the event type
and duration on your Garmin Connect timeline, but they do not
appear in your activities list, snapshots, or newsfeed. The Move
IQ feature can automatically start a timed activity for walking and
running, and it appears in your activities list. You can view the
full details of timed activities on your Garmin Connect account.

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.
Using the Stress Level Widget
The stress level widget displays your current stress level and a
graph of your stress level for the last several hours. It can also
guide you through a breathing activity to help you relax.
1
While you are sitting or inactive, swipe to view the stress
level widget.
TIP: If you are too active for the watch to determine your
stress level, a message appears instead of a stress level
number. You can check your stress level again after several
minutes of inactivity.
