Motiv Ring is waterproof and resistant to almost any chemical you'd be brave
enough to put your fingers in. However, acetone is the one chemical that is
likely safer to have on your hands than it is to have on the Motiv ring. We do
not recommend having the ring come in contact with this substance as it can
easily damage the surface finish. We advise removing the ring first or wearing
gloves for protection.
26. Heart Rate with the Motiv Ring
We optimized our system to sample heart rate when it matters most, in order
to maximize battery life. When we sense step activity, the heart rate sensor
activates. For all those times you’re not generating steps, we check your heart
rate every few minutes and if your heart rate is elevated, the Motiv Ring will
engage the sensor to track continuously those times you are active.
27. How We Measure Distance
Distance is a calculation of your steps and stride length. If you are taking
longer strides or shorter strides than the average for your height, you may see
slightly different distances than other wearable devices that have GPS.
28. Sleep Details
We designed Motiv Ring to track your sleep seamlessly and consistently. Our
app was designed to give you information that’s meaningful and actionable,
not just a bunch of data points you don’t know what to do with. By looking at
your movement patterns during your sleep, Motiv is able to give you an
easy-to-interpret snapshot of what’s happening to you when your head hits
the pillow.
