Daily activity not tracking

Former Member over 4 years ago

I've been with Fitbit until last week when I got present of the Instinct. Love the look but struggling to get set up correct. I'd like to see my doorstep count on the home screen as I do on my fitbit. Is there a way of automatically just tracking steps as I go about my day? Also, a bike ride taken yesterday hasntvregistered?

Sorry -daily step count, not doorstep

To see your daily step count on the watch face, all you have to do is long press Menu --> Watch Face, choose the watch face you like (by pressing the GPS button), and then Costumize. You can then choose the information you want to have on each of the several watch face fields.

As for the bike ride, did you start a biking activity? No activity, no recording. :)

Might be trying to use MoveIQ? I personally never use MoveIQ myself, as it's generally a much better result if you start a proper activity on the watch.

Check the calendar in Garmin Connect Mobile to see all the activities that were recorded with moveIQ. However they are not detailed at all as when you manually start an activity

Instinct does not have the Activity Auto-Start option like many other Garmin devices have. The MoveIQ does not start any activity logging. It merely detects the type of the activity you may be doing, and marking it on the daily chart and on the Calendar, but that's all. No recording at all.
