Understanding Sports Modes Technology
How Kizuna Sports Tracking Works
All Kizuna smartwatches utilize a multi-sensor approach to activity tracking:
- Motion Sensing: Our advanced accelerometers and gyroscopes detect movement patterns specific to different activities
- Heart Rate Analysis: Continuous optical heart rate monitoring adapts sampling rates based on activity intensity
- GPS Tracking: Where available, dual-frequency GPS provides precise distance and pace metrics*
- Altimeter Data: Barometric pressure changes help track elevation gain and loss during activities
- Algorithm Processing: Our proprietary SportSense™ algorithms process this sensor data to identify specific movements and calculate metrics relevant to each activity
During a tracked workout, your Kizuna watch collects data multiple times per second, processes it in real-time, and displays the most relevant metrics for your current activity type.
* GPS is not purposed as a navigation device.
