Whenever you receive a notification your watch will vibrate and a red dot will appear at the bottom of the display. View the

watch vibrates.
When receiving a call your watch will vibrate and show the caller. You can also answer or decline the call with your watch.
Phone notifications may function differently depending on the model of your Android phone.

ENERGY SOURCES

The energy sources breakdown shows how much of different energy sources (fats, carbohydrates, proteins) you used during
your session. On your watch, you can see it in the training summary right after finishing your session. More detailed
information can be viewed in the Flow mobile app after syncing your data.
During physical activity, your body uses carbohydrates and fat as main sources of energy. The higher your training intensity,
the more carbs you use in proportion to fat, and vice versa. The role of protein is usually quite small, but during high intensity
activity and during long sessions your body can use about 5 to 10 % of its energy from protein.
We calculate the use of different energy sources based on your heart rate, but we also take your physical settings into
account. These include your age, gender, height, weight, maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, VO2max, aerobic threshold
and anaerobic threshold. It's important that you've set these settings as precisely as possible so you'll get the most accurate
energy source consumption data.
