Garmin Lifestyle Logging: The New Health Tracking Feature You Need

Health is more than just counting steps or monitoring your heart rate, but more about your entire lifestyle.

That’s the belief that drives us at Garmin. We’re always working to create smarter, more intuitive tools that help you feel your best every day. With the launch of Lifestyle Logging, your Garmin smartwatch now offers a new way to understand your habits, routines, and behaviours, giving you deeper insight into what shapes your wellbeing and boosts your daily productivity.

What is Lifestyle Logging?

Lifestyle Logging is a new feature designed to help you track the everyday choices that shape your wellbeing beyond just fitness stats. Whether it’s your caffeine intake, screen time, mood, hydration, or social interactions, you can now monitor the lifestyle factors that influence how you feel and perform. It’s a holistic tool that puts more insight and control in your hands, supporting your health journey in a more meaningful way.

How It Works

Accessible directly from your compatible Garmin smartwatch and the Garmin Connect™ app, Lifestyle Logging empowers you to log key daily inputs manually. Simply swipe through the new Lifestyle tile on your watch or app, and you’ll see a selection of logging options based on your device’s capabilities and your personalised setup. You can track: Caffeine consumption, Screen time, Stress triggers, Mood, Social interactions, and more.

Where to Find It

• On your Garmin smartwatch: Navigate to the Lifestyle tile by scrolling through your widget loop. Tap to log your entries at any time of day.   
• On the Garmin Connect™ app: Open the app, tap the “More” menu, and you’ll find the Lifestyle section under Health Stats.

Compatible Devices

Lifestyle Logging is available on several of Garmin’s latest devices, including Venu® 4, Fēnix® 8 Pro, Forerunner® 970, Epix™ Pro (Gen 2), Vivoactive® 6, and more.

Why Lifestyle Logging Matters

You already know that movement, sleep, and nutrition matter. But now, Garmin takes it a step further, helping you connect the dots between your lifestyle habits and how you actually feel, focus, and perform. Here’s how Lifestyle Logging can help:

1. Spot Hidden Patterns

Maybe your sleep feels off after a high-screen-time day, or your afternoon energy dips after too much caffeine. With consistent logging, you’ll start to see meaningful trends that allow you to make micro-adjustments for better daily performance.

2. Improve Mental Clarity

Logging mood, stress levels, and triggers enables a more proactive approach to emotional wellness. Over time, this helps you identify what supports—or sabotages—your mental health. 

3. Boost Productivity

When you understand how your habits influence your energy, focus, and motivation, you can structure your day to work best for you. That’s true productivity: not just doing more but doing it smarter.

Lifestyle Logging Best Practices

To help you get the most out of Lifestyle Logging, we’ve gathered a few expert-backed tips that can guide you in using this feature effectively. The following suggestions will help you make smarter choices, uncover meaningful patterns, and gain deeper insights into your daily well-being.

1. Log Consistently

Make it a habit to check in during your morning, lunch break, or evening wind-down. The more consistent your logs, the more accurate your insights will be.

2. Use Custom Reminders

Set custom alerts through your Garmin Connect app to prompt you to log key lifestyle factors like caffeine, hydration, or screen time.

3. Reflect Weekly

Use your weekly Garmin Connect reports to reflect on your entries. Did you feel more focused? Did your sleep improve after adjusting caffeine intake? Let the data guide your growth.
