Pulse variability is used to calculate your stress level so you can see if you have a calm, balanced, or stressful day. Energy monitoring with Body Battery - Optimize your body's energy reserves by using pulse variability, stress, sleep, and other data to measure when you're ready to be active or when you need to rest. For altitude acclimatization and sleep monitoring, a pulse oximetry sensor uses light beams at the wrist to measure how well your body absorbs oxygen.

The metabolic age feature uses chronological age, high-intensity activities each week, resting heart rate, and BMI to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are.
