Welcome to the Community @Bflynn623! Thanks for sharing your experience with your Versa. Manually logging an activity works well for those activities where step count isn't the best indicator of the calories burned.
If you are doing an activity that does not require steps (like cycling or swimming), or an activity that requires more than just steps (like tennis or yoga), you can use the activity log to improve the accuracy of this activity's contribution to your caloric burn. You can also use manual logging to add a walk or run if you leave your tracker at home.
All steps, calories, and active minutes recorded by your tracker are overridden for the duration of a manually logged activity by the activity's entered values. This ensures that your steps are not counted twice as long as the manually logged activity has the correct start time and duration. To read more about this, check out the help article How do I manually log an activity or exercise?
Keep me posted! 🙂
