How Are the Averages for Wellness Data Calculated on the "Last 7 Days" Section?

Since the current day is continuously being measured by your device, only the past 6 full days of wellness information is used to calculate averages on the Last 7 Days section of the Connect Home screen. This is so that only complete days are being used to calculate your average.

From the activity trends card, select the Add the Stat Icon icon to add your manual activity. Alternatively, you can also follow the steps from Create a Manual Activity in Garmin Connect.
