Activity class. Tons of threads but not a lot of clarity.

I had mine set at 10 for months. Now I changed it to 5 to see what the difference is but I don't notice any difference after a week. What I gathered from all the previous threads are that it has to do with body fat...maybe? But it seems like a negligible or unneeded setting that doesn't influence any fitness metrics. My question is what metrics does it affect and in what way?

"Garmin fitness devices use this information along with the user's profile in order to calculate the calories burned during a given activity.

The Index Smart Scale will use Activity Class to place the scale into Athlete Mode. When an Activity Class of 8 or higher is set in the User Profile the Index Smart Scale will be in Athlete Mode."

Doesn't say anything more than that so it probably only got those two functions.

Thanks for the reply. The effect on the metrics is nearly un noticeable.
