Actiwatch Guide to Getting Started 7.2 (July 2009)     

Contents

The Actiwatch range consists of the following models: 

 

Actiwatch AW7 

The Actiwatch AW7 was launched in 2007 and extended 
the functionality and practicality of the Actiwatch range. 
With a battery life of 8 years continuous use, activity 
marker button and recording time of up to 180 days with a 
1 minute epoch, it is also the most highly specified 
Actiwatch in the range. The AW7 has been pressure 
tested to 6 Bar and is suitable to be worn whilst swimming. 
 

 

Actiwatch AW4 

The Actiwatch AW4 is the predecessor to the Actiwatch 
AW7. It has been used extensively by researchers, 
clinicians and in clinical trials. It offers a recording time of 
up to 45 days with a 1 minute epoch. 
 

 

Actiwatch Mini 

The Actiwatch Mini is designed for applications where 
weight or size is important. It is ideal for paediatric use. 
Weighing only 7.5 grams it is the lightest actigraph on the 
market. It can be supplied for either wrist mounting or 
neck mounting. 
 

 

Actiwatch Light 

The Actiwatch Light allows the monitoring of ambient light 
levels as well as the measurement of activity. It is ideal for 
circadian rhythm studies or any application that requires 
light monitoring. The light sensor is integral to the watch 
and is provided in place of the marker button.
