you keep your phone with you you’ll also get a map
of your route on a run/walk/cycle, driven by the
phone’s GPS.
The Move won’t just track your activity, though –
it’s also great at inactivity. Wear it overnight and it’ll
track your sleep, giving you info on the duration and
depth of your rest. It then factors in how regular your
sleep schedule is to give you a daily ‘Sleep Score’
along with feedback on how you can improve it.
You can also take advantage of sleep monitoring
for your alarm – you can use the app to set an alarm
window, and the Move will try to detect the optimum
moment in your sleep cycle to nudge you awake.
You can link the app up to the likes of Google Fit
or Apple Health, along with more specific apps like
RunKeeper or MyFitnessPal, so it’s easy enough to
keep all your health data connected. Data should in
turn sync from the Move to your phone automatically
every few hours, but this seemed a little shaky on my
Huawei P30 – though opening the app forces a sync,
so as long as you keep an eye on the app every now

Pressing the crown underwater breaks the seal and
risks damaging it though, and prolonged saltwater
exposure isn’t good for it either.
There’s one final edge that the Move has over most
of its rivals: battery life. Forget counting in days or
