Adding and Using the Altitude Acclimation Widget

The Altitude Acclimation widget will give you at-a-glance information on your current elevation and how you are acclimating to the altitude. When opening the widget you will see more information about how you are acclimating, including weekly averages for Pulse Ox,1 respiration rate, and resting heart rate.

If the widget is displaying Inactive, it means that you are not at a high enough elevation for the widget to display altitude acclimation information.
