Some examples of metrics available:

PACE - your current pace. For swimming, this is shown in minutes per 100m.

AVG PACE - your average pace for the current activity.
 HEART RATE - your heart rate. This metric is only available if you have a Heart Rate Sensor
connected.
 SPEED, PACE or BOTH - for activities other than swimming, you can choose to see speed, pace
or both metrics at once.

SWOLF - this metric is only given for swimming activities. The SWOLF score is calculated by
adding the time in seconds and the number of strokes you make to swim one length of the pool.
SWOLF shows your swimming efficiency. The lower the score, the better. The word SWOLF is a
mixture of swimming and golf.

CALORIES - Calories for the freestyle activity are based on heart rate. For other activities
calories are linked to that specific sport but for freestyle, the watch doesn’t know which sport
you are doing. Hence when no heart rate measurement is available, calories are not shown for
the freestyle activity.
For activity tracking, sports and activities, the calorie metric measures how many calories you
burn during the day including your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your BMR represents the mini-
mum amount of energy that you need to keep your body functioning, including breathing and
keeping your heart beating.
