If heart rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute. • Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. • Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or vigorous intensity level. • Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate.
