Overview
MoveWell puts guided stretching, bodyweight exercise and yoga on your wrist. Choose a ready-made session or build a custom routine of up to 30 moves, then follow each movement using clear anatomical illustrations, simple cues, timed holds, manual repetition counting and rest guidance. Custom routines can repeat for 1–5 rounds, and completed sessions can be saved and synced to Garmin Connect.
Where to find MoveWell on your watch
MoveWell records and saves a Garmin FIT activity. Because of this, it appears in your watch’s Activities list rather than the Apps list. Open Activities, scroll to the 4-dot / More section if needed, then select MoveWell. You can add it to your favourites from there.
Choose how you want to move
Bodyweight
Strength and conditioning sessions using movements such as squats, press-ups, planks, lunges and core exercises.

SETUP & INSTRUCTIONS
Getting started
Install and configure
- Install MoveWell from the Garmin Connect IQ Store using the button above.
- Allow the watch a moment to sync and refresh its Activities list.
- Open MoveWell once so it can initialise and create its saved settings and progress data.
- Choose Stretching, Bodyweight, Mixed, Yoga or Custom routine.
- If wanted, open Settings in MoveWell to change the default hold time, repetition target and rest time.
Find it under Activities
- Open your Garmin watch’s Activities list — do not look in Apps.
- MoveWell is listed as an activity because it records and saves workout data as a FIT file.
- If it is not among your favourite activities, scroll to the 4-dot / More section and select MoveWell there.
- Use the watch’s activity-management options if you want to add MoveWell to favourites or move it higher in the list.
Touchscreen and buttons
- Touchscreen: swipe up or down to move through lists, then tap the highlighted item to select it.
- Button watches: use Up and Down to move, then press Select / Start to open the highlighted item.
- During rep exercises: swipe up or press Up to add a repetition; swipe down or press Down to subtract one.
- Tap or Select: finish the current move or skip the current rest.
- Back during a session: pauses the workout. Press Back again while paused to end the session and return Home.
- Back from Home: exits MoveWell and returns to the watch face.
Start a ready-made routine
- Open MoveWell and choose Stretching, Bodyweight or Mixed routines.
- Scroll through the available sessions and select one to see its overview.
- Select again to begin, then follow the movement name, cue, illustration and progress display.
- Timed stretches and holds count down automatically. Repetition exercises are completed at your own pace and counted manually.
- Rest screens show what is coming next, including a two-pose preview for rep-based exercises during the second half of the rest.
- When the routine is complete, review the completion screen and return Home.
Build your own session
- Choose Custom routine from the MoveWell Home screen.
- Select Add exercises, browse the 49-move library and add up to 30 movements.
- Use the review/edit option to change repetitions or hold time, adjust rest, reorder a movement or remove it.
- Choose how many times the full routine repeats, from 1–5 rounds.
- Save the routine. It remains stored on the watch for future use, with Start routine directly below Add exercises.
Troubleshooting
- MoveWell is installed but not visible: look in Activities, not Apps. Check the 4-dot / More section, then sync or restart the watch if needed.
- Touch does not move through the menu: use a vertical swipe rather than dragging, or use the watch buttons where available.
- Repetitions do not advance automatically: this is intentional. Count reps using Up / swipe up so you can exercise at your own pace.
- Back appears to pause instead of exit: during a session the first Back opens Resume, Save or Discard. From the Home screen, Back exits MoveWell.
- Artwork looks different on a smaller watch: MoveWell uses device-appropriate image sizes so the same routines remain compatible across supported displays.
- Your custom routine is empty: add at least one movement before selecting Start routine.
