Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, tap
and hold your finger on the screen or keep the middle button pressed to open the activity
goal settings.
When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day.
The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
and your physical activity.
Your BMR is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your
body needs to stay warm and perform basic function like blink your eyes or beat your heart.
This number is based on your personal profile, including factors such as age and gender.
When you set a calorie goal, you define how many calories you want to burn in addition to
your BMR. These are your so-called active calories. The ring around the activity display
advances according to how many active calories you burn during the day compared to your
goal.
3.1.1. Instant HR
The instant heart rate (HR) display provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate.
From the watch face view, swipe up or press the lower button to scroll to the HR display.
Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the display and return to the watch face view.
3.1.2. Daily HR
The daily HR display provides a 12-hour view of your heart rate. This is a helpful source of
information about, for example, your recovery after a hard training session.
The display shows your heart rate over 12 hours as a graph. The graph is plotted using your
average heart rate based on 24-minute time slots. In addition, by swiping up or pressing the
lower button, you get an estimation of your average hourly calorie consumption rate and your
lowest heart rate during the 12-hour period.
Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it
is higher than normal, you probably are not yet fully recovered from your last training session.
