Suunto Run User Guide

Steps and calories

You can find the Steps & Calories widget in the All Apps menu and you can add it to the list of your selected widgets.

Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also while recording training sessions and other activities. However, with some specific sports, such as swimming and cycling, steps are not counted.

The top value in the widget shows the total step count for the given day and the bottom value is the estimated amount of active calories you have burned so far during the day.

The colored bars in the widget indicate how close you are to your daily activity goals. These targets can be adjusted to your personal preferences (see below).

You can also check your steps and calories burned over the last seven days by swiping up from the widget.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your body needs to stay warm and perform basic functions like blink your eyes or beat your heart. This number is based on your personal profile, including factors such as age and gender.

Activity goals

You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. Scroll down in the widget to set the daily step and calory goals and to turn target related notifications on or off.

When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day.

The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your BMR and your physical activity.

When you set a calorie goal, you define how many calories you want to burn in addition to your BMR. These are your so-called active calories.

You can set your step and calory goals also in the watch settings, under Activity & Training.
