How does GoBe U measure steps and distance?

The HEALBE GoBe smart band calculates steps and distance based on the motion of your arm while walking or running. The accuracy of these measurements depends on how naturally and freely your arms move during the activity.

How step and distance tracking works

GoBe uses its built-in motion sensors to detect the rhythmic patterns of walking and running. These patterns help the device count steps and estimate the distance covered. However, for the most accurate results, your arm must swing freely while walking.

When tracking may be less accurate

The accuracy of step and distance tracking may decrease if your hands are not actively moving. This can happen in situations such as:

• Pushing a shopping cart

• Keeping hands in your pockets

• Carrying bags or other objects

• Walking on a treadmill

• Cycling or using an elliptical

• Doing weight training with minimal arm motion

Best practices for accurate step counting

To ensure optimal tracking:

• Take walks of at least 10 minutes in duration

• Let your arms move naturally while walking

• Avoid carrying items in your hands when possible

Future improvements

The HEALBE team is continuously working to enhance the accuracy of step and distance tracking. Future GoBe updates will include support for different types of physical activities and sports modes to improve performance across various movement patterns.
