Is Connect/User Settings/First Day of the Week not working?

Saturday is my household duties day. My gym days are Sunday - Friday. I want my activity minutes to accrue during my gym days, Saturday is incidental, zero accrual is fine.

I set the 'First Day of the Week' to Sunday. Times is accrued from Monday through Sunday.

Can't find the Connect version i the app (though it's been updated this week). My watch is a Vivoactive 5. Software Version 8.27.

Though I haven't used it in a long time, I seem to remember this worked the way I expect in my old VivoSmart 4.

Would like a description of what I can do to get the tracking in the mode I would like.

TIA

For many reports Garmin is using rolling periods. That means a week is just the last 7 days. It doesn't care about the first day of week setting.

Which report are you looking at?

From the Intensity Minutes FAQ (How Are Intensity Minutes Earned? | Garmin Customer Support):

Can I Change the Day of the Week My Intensity Minutes Begin?

You cannot change the day of the week your intensity minutes begin. They are accumulated weekly from Monday–Sunday. Changing the First Day of the Week setting in your Garmin Connect account settings only applies to your calendar and related features.

Thanks for the reply. That's not good. This IS a 'related feature' to MY calendar!
