How Does the Move Alert Work on a Garmin Watch?
All Garmin® watches that feature an activity tracker will have a move alert built-in to encourage users to stay active throughout the day. Depending on your watch model, it will feature the following:
Move Notification: An alert that will display the notification "Let's Get Moving" accompanied by a vibration or tone based on the model of device. This will display after one hour of inactivity and reset after a couple minutes of walking.
Move Bar: A progressive bar representing the amount of time you have been idle. The first large bar will appear after an hour and each additional bar equals 15 minutes. After one hour of inactivity the watch will display a "Move!" notification.
Movement Alert: An alert that will display the notification "Let's Get Active" with the option to start guided movements instead of walking.
To find out which move alert options are available on your watch, search "move alert" in your owner's manual.
