to be active. Take a short walk, stretch, or do some other light activity. The message goes away when you start
moving or press any button.
If you don't get active in five minutes, you'll get an inactivity stamp. You can see the inactivity stamp in My day
in the Polar app below your daily activity data. You can also see how many inactivity stamps you've received
each day in the Polar Flow app and web service. This way you can check back on your daily routine and make
changes towards a more active life.
The inactivity alerts or stamps won't affect your progress towards reaching your daily activity goal.
SLEEP INFORMATION IN THE POLAR FLOW APP AND WEB SERVICE
The Polar app tracks your sleep time and quality (restful / restless) if you wear the M600 at night. You don't have
to turn the sleep mode on. The app automatically detects that you're sleeping from your wrist movements.
Sleep time, and its quality (restful / restless) is shown in the Polar Flow app and web service .
Your sleep time is the longest continuous rest time that takes place within 24 hours starting from 18:00/6pm to
next day's 18:00/6pm. Breaks shorter than one hour in your sleep don't stop sleep tracking, but they are not
taken into account in the sleep time. Breaks longer than 1 hour stop sleep time tracking.
The periods when you sleep peacefully and don't move a lot are calculated as restful sleep. The periods when
you move and change your position are calculated as restless sleep. Instead of simply summing up all the
immobile periods, the calculation gives more weight to long than short immobile periods. The percentage of rest-
ful sleep compares the time you slept restfully with the total sleeping time. Restful sleep is highly individual and
should be interpreted together with sleep time.
Knowing the amount of restful and restless sleep gives you insight into how you sleep at night and if it's affected
by any changes in your daily life. This may help you in finding ways to improve your sleep and feel well rested
during the day.
ACTIVITY DATA IN THE POLAR FLOW APP AND WEB SERVICE
With the Polar Flow mobile app, you can follow and analyze your activity data on the go and have your data
synced from the Polar app to the Polar Flow web service. The web service gives you the most detailed insight
into your activity information.
HEART RATE ZONES
Polar heart rate zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. Training is divided into
five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With heart rate zones, you can easily select
and monitor training intensities.
