The Pebble™ is simplistic – there’s no charging, docking or pairing required. Just clip it on and go! After collecting data, your Pebble™ wirelessly sends information through your ActiLink Personal Access Point (USB plugged into your personal computer). An easy-to-understand display instantly shows daily goal progress, sync status and battery life. The Pebble™ is waterproof. The Pebble™ is smart, and can detect the difference between walking/running and other activities. If the device detects the activity as walking/running, it will only appear in the steps log. If it detects activity of 10 minutes or more that is not running it will place it in the Cardio log. Within your Healthy Blue portal, all steps (walking/running) will go to the Steps Log. This is for any duration; as long as the device is active.
