24/7 ACTIVITY TRACKING

M430 tracks your activity with an internal 3D accelerometer that records your wrist movements. It analyzes
the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information, allowing
you to see how active you really are in your everyday life, on top of your regular training. You should wear your
M430 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 M430, and your M430 guides you in reaching the
goal each day. The activity goal is based on your personal data and activity level setting, which you can find in
the Polar Flow app or in the
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
Settings > 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. For example, if you're an office worker and spend most of your day sitting, you would be
expected to reach about four hours of low intensity activity during an ordinary day. For people who stand and
walk a lot during their working hours, the expectations are higher.
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.
