🏃♂️ Fitness & Activity Tracking (Get Moving, Stay on Track)
Smartwatches love movement — and this section covers how they keep up with your daily activity, workouts, and goals in a fun and simple way.
🔥 Calorie Burn
Estimates how many calories you burn based on your movement, heart rate, and workouts.
Everyday Example:
Like a fitness scoreboard showing how much energy you’ve used today.
📏 Distance
Shows how far you’ve walked, run, or biked — measured using step length or GPS.
Everyday Example:
Like a digital map that shows how many miles or kilometers you’ve gone.
🏔️ Floors Climbed
Tracks how many flights of stairs you’ve gone up using a motion and elevation sensor.
Everyday Example::
Like a stair-counting challenge — your watch cheers you on as you go higher!
Heart Rate Zones
Shows how hard your heart is working during exercise. Different zones (like “fat burn” or “cardio”) tell you if you’re pushing too hard or not enough.
Everyday Example:
It’s like a workout speedometer — if you're in the fat burn zone, you're jogging; cardio zone means you're running full speed!
🏋️ Workout Detection
Automatically recognizes when you start an activity like walking, running, or biking — and starts tracking it for you.
Everyday Example:
Like your watch saying, “I see you’re moving — let’s count this as a workout!”
💨 VO₂ Max
Measures how well your body uses oxygen during exercise. A higher VO₂ Max means better fitness.
Everyday Example:
Like a “fitness level score” that shows how strong your heart and lungs are.
⏳ Fitness Age
Some watches give you a "fitness age" based on your VO₂ Max and activity level. It tells you how fit your body is compared to your actual age.
Everyday Example:
If you're 40 but active, your watch might say you have the fitness of a 30-year-old.
⏱️ Active Minutes
Tracks how many minutes you move at a moderate or high intensity (like walking fast or biking) each day.
Everyday Example:
Like earning points for movement — the more active minutes, the better for your health.
