Glances
Your watch comes preloaded with glances that provide quick information (Viewing Glances). Some glances require a Bluetooth® connection to a compatible phone.
Some glances are not visible by default. You can add them to the glances list manually (Customizing the Glance Loop). Some glances are a grouping of related metrics, such as health or activity performance.
