Health & Fitness Tracking guides

Your watch or ring records sleep, steps, workouts and heart rate, and these guides cover the settings behind each one. The Apple Watch guides show how to track sleep and steps, add a workout and check your heart rate. The Fitbit, Oura Ring and Garmin guides start from a problem, such as sleep that isn't tracked, steps that aren't counted or a GPS track that doesn't follow your route. Another guide explains why smartwatch heart rate jumps and how the fit of the watch plays a part.

This covers device settings only and isn't medical advice. Each guide explains what the device does, follows the maker's own health documentation, and leaves questions about your health to a doctor. Pick your device in the list below to start.
