Fitness And Exercise (Multi-sports Mode)

Track specific exercises, such as running, hiking, football, basketball, and more with your iTech Active 2. Your iTech Active 2 is equipped with 4 sports modes and 4 workout modes. Each exercise tracks specific details such as steps, total time, average heart rate, calories and etc.

Some Helpful Tips:

For data to be saved, the workout/sport you do must be done Active 2ly for at least 3 minutes. Once you begin a sports mode, the exercise on the watch will show the data points being collected by the workout/sports mode being performed. If you tap on the one-touch button during the mode, you will see the ‘PAUSE’ screen and if you tap on the one-touch button again, you’ll see the ‘STOP’ screen. Tapping on the one-touch button again will take you back to the main screen for the mode being performed.
You can perform the sport either near your smartphone or away/not connected to your smartphone. Once the device comes within Bluetooth range of your smartphone, it will automatically sync with the app and the mode will appear on your home/dashboard screen in app.
Sports modes should be done one at a time. After stopping one mode, ensure that the data is synced to the app first. Then start your second sports mode. Doing multiple modes at once, without syncing to the app will cause data you have acquired to be lost.
The watch will alert you if the activity time is too short to record. Activities not performed for at least 3 minutes will not be saved to the app/watch.

You can view all of the sports and workout modes you have done for the day as well as the calories burned doing each activity within the Calories card found on the main home page of the iTech Wearables App.

smartphone’s connected GPS. Review your exercise history via the ITech Wearables App.
