Walgreens Activity Monitor Advanced

 I would like to know how the average is calculated on my Smart.  I sometimes exceed the average and at midnight it might come out less than the previous day.  Is it a rolling average and if so, what is the term length?

I wasn't intending to create a lot of work for someone.  I just wondered how the Smart calculates the average because when I tried to get it higher by doing more, sometimes it would go the opposite way from what I expected.  I figured that if if it was a rolling average, say 60 days, that a large number may fall off the back end, offsetting a good result on the day just finished.

If it was an all-time average, would it not go up on a given day if I exceed my average steps by more than the number of days elapsed since the beginning?

 

I've gone ahead and created a support ticket for you and our Smart expert will be looking into this for you. She should be in touch soon!

Here is my device ID:  B464493461722
November 4 average said 7303, and I did 7638 steps, and at midnight my average went down 3 steps from 7303 to7300.  I would have expected it to go up slightly, about one step.
This is a refurbished device provided under warranty a year ago.
Not a big deal, but curious.

The average on the Smart should be pulling data from the beginning of time, though it does leave out any days that are under a certain threshold -- I don't have the exact number of that threshold, but it's an extremely low number, one that indicates the user didn't move at all that day.
