Overview

  • Steps measures the number of steps you take throughout the day, tracked automatically by your ring's motion sensor.

Detailed Explanation

  • Step tracking uses accelerometer data to detect the repetitive motion pattern of walking or running, converting this into a step count.
  • Step count is one indicator of daily activity level, alongside distance travelled and calories burned.
  • Accuracy can be affected by how you move — for example, pushing a pram, cycling, or activities where your hands stay still may not be captured accurately, while activities like vacuuming may be over-counted.

Reference Value Ranges

  • General Guideline: 8,000–10,000 steps per day is commonly cited for general health benefits.
  • Sedentary: Below 5,000 steps per day.
  • Low Active: 5,000–7,499 steps per day.
  • Somewhat Active: 7,500–9,999 steps per day.
  • Active: 10,000+ steps per day.

Precautions

  • This product is not a medical device and cannot replace professional medical advice.
  • Step counts are estimates and may vary from actual steps taken depending on wear position, motion type, and activity.
  • Individual step goals should take into account personal fitness level, age, and any existing health conditions. Consult a professional before starting a new activity plan.
