several weeks during our runs and walks. thats where this thing really shines. theres very little input from you. it logs when youve gone for a bike ride, steps, distance, calories, and tells you your heart rate during those activities. you can click on those activities. it breaks them down in terms of pace and how fast you were going. it has a lot of great information. the screen all the way on the right, thats my running app, runtastic. this actually works with it, showing me my heartbeat during my run. thats downloaded to runtastic. its a great feature that i absolutely love because it makes tracking my activity more accurate. it also tracks sleep. every morning i wake up and it tells me, gives me a score, how long have i been sleeping. it tries to encourage you to keep better bedtimes and sleep longer. you guys know, on this schedule, its not very easy. it runs 149. its one of my favorite wearables ive worn. ive had a lot of smart watches and fitness bands. this one does the trick, and the big display, with just the time on it all the time is actually kind of nice. battery life, by the way on this thing, five days. oh, okay. i was going to ask. thats one of my
