4.1. Activity monitoring
Your watch keeps track of your overall activity level throughout the day. This is an important
factor whether you just aim to be fit and healthy or you are training for an upcoming
competition. It is good to be active, but when training hard, you need to have proper rest days
with low activity.
The activity counter automatically resets at midnight every day. At the end of the week, the
watch provides a summary of your activity.
From the watch face display, press the lower right button to see your total steps for the day.
Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also
while recording training sessions and other activities. However, with some specific sports,
such as swimming and cycling, steps are not counted.
In addition to steps, you can press the upper left button to see estimated calories for the day.
The large number in the center of the display is the estimated amount of active calories you
have burned so far during the day. Below this you see the total calories burned. The total
includes both active calories and your Basal Metabolic Rate (see below).
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to your daily activity goals. These
targets can be adjusted to your personal preferences (see below).
You can also check your steps over the last seven days by pressing the middle button. Press
the middle button again to see the calories.
Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, keep
the middle button pressed to open the activity goal settings.
