Can a Vivoactive 3 be used to track an activity if kept in your pocket?

Hi,

I want to use my watch to track activities such as rugby, but would be un-able to wear it on my wrist due to safety reasons. If I was to detach the straps and keep it on my person, under clothing/ internal pockets.

would it still track activities fairly accurately?

thanks,

Hello, It would track an activity by time and maybe distance but that is about it. You would essentially be using it as a timer, you may get steps but it likely will not be accurate.

Thanks for the reply

would it still track calories and pace etc?

I may have to trial it a few times

The calories, not necessarily because you are not measuring HR.
