How to Get More From Your Fitness Tracker Without Checking It All Day

A fitness tracker can give you a lot of information, but checking it constantly can defeat the purpose. The better approach is to let the device collect data in the background and review useful trends at sensible moments.

Check your data at set times

Instead of opening your app every hour, choose one or two moments that fit your routine. For example, you might review yesterday's activity in the morning and your recovery trends before planning the next training session.

Focus on trends

One unusual reading is rarely enough to explain what is happening. Look at several days or weeks and compare the data with your sleep, activity and training habits.

Use fewer metrics

Start with the metrics that actually answer your questions. If your goal is better recovery, sleep and HRV may be more useful to you than tracking every available statistic.

Why screenless can help

OnPulse has no display. You wear the tracker while it collects data, then use the companion app when you want to review your information. This approach can reduce the temptation to treat your wrist like another notification screen.

Make tracking part of your routine

The best wearable is one you actually use consistently. A simple routine is often easier to maintain than trying to analyse every metric every day.
