    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for improving an accuracy of a wearable device while detecting a ski activity by a user at a ski area. In one aspect, the method can include receiving motion data of the user from a motion sensing module of the wearable device. A heart rate sensing module can measure a heart rate of the user. One or more processor circuits can detect the user is gripping ski poles on a substantially flat ground based on the motion data and the heart rate of the user. The one or more processor circuits can calculate information about the user's performance during the ski activity and output the information about the user's performance during the ski activity.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a wireless wearable computer with fitness machine connectivity for improved activity monitoring using caloric expenditure models. In an embodiment, a method comprises: establishing, by a processor of a wireless wearable computer worn by a user, a wireless communication connection with a fitness machine; obtaining, by the processor using the communication connection, machine data from the fitness machine while the user is engaged in a workout session on the fitness machine; obtaining, from a heart rate sensor of the wireless device, heart rate data of the user; determining, by the processor, a work rate caloric expenditure by applying a work rate calorie model to the machine data; determining, by the processor, a calibrated maximal oxygen consumption of the user based on the heart rate data and the work rate caloric expenditure; determining, by the processor, a heart rate caloric expenditure by applying a heart rate calorie model to the heart rate data and the calibrated maximal oxygen consumption of the user; and sending, by the processor to the fitness machine via the communication connection, at least one of the work rate caloric expenditure or the heart rate caloric expenditure.
