active you really are in your everyday life, on top of your regular training. You should wear your watch on your non-

dominant hand to ensure you get the most accurate activity tracking.

ACTIVITY GOAL

You'll get your personal activity goal when you set up your watch. The activity goal is based on your personal data and

activity level setting, which you can find on your watch (Settings > Physical settings > Activity level), in the Polar

Flow app or in the

Polar Flow web

If you want to change your goal, open your Flow app, tap your name/profile photo in the menu view, and swipe down to

see Activity goal. Or go to

Activity goal. Choose one of the three activity levels that best describes your typical day and activity. Below the

selection area, you can see how active you need to be to reach your daily activity goal on the chosen level.

The time you need to be active during the day to reach your activity goal depends on the level you have chosen and the

intensity of your activities. Meet your goal faster with more intense activities or stay active at a slightly more moderate

pace throughout the day. Age and gender also affect the intensity you need to reach your activity goal. The younger you

are, the more intense your activity needs to be.

In time view, use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate to the Activity watch face.

The circle around the watch face and the percentage below time and date show your progress

towards your daily activity goal. The circle fills with light blue color as you are active.

In addition, you can see the following details of your day's accumulated activity:

Steps you've taken so far. The amount and type of body movements are registered and turned into an estimation

of steps.

Active time tells you the cumulative time of body movements that benefit your health.

Calories you've burned through training, activity and BMR (Basal metabolic rate: the minimum metabolic activity

required to maintain life).

It's widely known that physical activity is a major factor in maintaining health. In addition to being physically active, it's

important to avoid prolonged sitting. Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health, even on those days when you

train and gain enough daily activity. Your watch spots if you're being inactive for too long during your day and this way

helps you to break up your sitting to avoid the negative effects it has on your health.

If you've been still for 55 minutes, you'll get an inactivity alert: It's time to move is shown along with a small vibration.

Stand up and find your own way to be active. Take a short walk, stretch, or do some other light activity. The message

goes away when you start moving or press the button. If you don't get active in five minutes, you'll get an inactivity

service.
