Abstract
A portable activity monitoring device adapted to couple to a body of a user, the portable activity monitoring device comprising a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the user's body, (i) one or more motion sensors, disposed in the housing, to detect motion, and (ii) a user interface, disposed in the housing. The monitoring device further includes processing circuitry, disposed in the housing, to: (i) detect one or more user inputs to the user interface using data from at least one of the one or more motion sensors, (ii) calculate data which is representative of a progress toward a user activity goal using data from at least one the motion sensors, and (iii) generate display data which is representative of the progress toward the user activity goal in response to detecting the user input to the user interface.
