Garmin vivomove Classic - Rose Gold and Leather

The Custom Step Length feature assists with getting the most accurate distance on an activity tracker. Set your custom step length by using Garmin Connect or Garmin Connect Mobile. Setting the Custom Step Length will involve walking or running a known distance and counting the steps it took to complete that distance. The minimum distance is 400 meters. However, it is recommended to go 800 meters. Typically doing this by walking/running on a 400 meter track will provide the most accurate results. To setup using Garmin Connect: 1.
