A wearable device is required on the g+ app if you want to earn Heart Minutes and track detailed activity data such as steps, heart rate, calories burned, and active workout sessions. The wearable provides the app with accurate, real-time health metrics that can’t be recorded otherwise.
That said, a wearable is not required to use the other features of the app. You can still access your account, view rewards, complete a Wellness Check-In, check your wallet, and explore other non-activity related features without connecting a device.
In short:
-
Wearable required → To record workouts, track activity, and earn Heart Minutes.
-
Wearable not required → To complete a Wellness Check-In use rewards, membership management, and other app tools.
