An example of Motion Data’s usability is that because Motion data access to my Fitbit, my step count from each day is tracked with the only pedometer I’m using being my phone itself. It’s not as comprehensive as a Microsoft Band or another fitness tracker but the seamless integration allows me to track my steps every day while only using an item I have with me at all times.
