Activity

Last updated May 18, 2026

The Activity screen tracks your daily movement: steps, calories burned, and active time. Each metric has a coloured ring around the edge of the screen that fills as you progress toward the daily target.

Daily targets

Metric Default goal
Steps 10,000
Calories 500 kcal
Active time (counts time spent moving)

The 10,000-step and 500-kcal defaults are based on general health recommendations. The rings change colour as you approach each target, giving an at-a-glance read on progress.

How calories are calculated

Move estimates calorie expenditure using the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) — the ratio of activity energy cost to resting energy cost. The on-device formula combines step rate, motion intensity from the IMU, and the user’s basal metabolic rate.

This estimate is good for tracking relative effort across days but isn’t a clinically calibrated calorimeter — treat the absolute number as a guide, not a precise measurement.
