So what does the bar actually mean?

Excellent

100%

Fully rested.

Every stat at or above your baseline.

Energy to spend.

Recovered enough to take on whatever's next.

Good

90%

OK

70%

Effort adds up.

Daily activity, workouts, even excitement draw it down.

Rest or recover.

Your body is asking for a lighter day.

Low

40%

The bar shows its work.

Eight screens sit behind the number. These are all of them.

01 / 08

All Stats

Everything on one screen. Scroll up from the bar and every stat is there, each with the time it was last read.

02 / 08

Total Calories

Not just the workout. Active and resting calories together, so the number reflects your whole day rather than the hour you trained.

03 / 08

Heart Rate

The fastest read on effort. Resting and active heart rate, tracked through the day so you can tell a hard session from a hard week.

04 / 08

Distance & Steps

Movement you didn’t count as exercise. Walking the dog, the commute, the stairs — it all feeds the bar.

05 / 08

Heart Rate Variability

The best early warning you have. HRV drops before you feel run down, so a falling trend is your cue to ease off.

06 / 08

VO₂ Max

Fitness you can actually watch change. VO₂ max moves over months, not days — the long view on whether training is working.

07 / 08

Wrist Temperature

Half a degree tells you a lot. Overnight shifts in wrist temperature flag illness, poor recovery and cycle changes before anything else does.

08 / 08

Respiratory Rate

The signal you never notice. Breathing rate climbs when your body is working harder than you think it is.
