My Watch Is Having Trouble Detecting Move IQ Events
The Move IQ® automatic activity detector allows your Garmin® watch to automatically detects certain types of exercise such as biking, running, swimming, walking, or using an elliptical machine. Continuous movement of at least 10 minutes will tag an exercise as an event. If you have a situation where a particular exercise is not being recognized, ensure the following:
Exercise must be continuous and last at least 10 minutes
Exercise is one of the Move IQ event identified types
Device is being worn on the wrist

If an exercise is being missed and not tagged as a Move IQ event, it is likely due to the movement being outside of our algorithm detection.
If you have a situation where a Move IQ event is being detected repeatedly when you are not performing that exercise, we recommend that you disable the Move IQ feature from your Garmin Connect account.
