I want to get a smart watch, but can't figure out what the 2 digit numbers one above the other mean in ads?

I guess it's so common knowledge everyone else knows.
I see displays of 20 over 36 so it can't be a time display.

1. Military time?

8:36.

IDK why they would use military time in an ad. Most people use standard time in the US

2. Could be for daily goals. Like 20 of 36 minutes active.

I’ve had fitbits for years but now that google owns them I’ll probably go a different way when the current one needs replacing.

What is it you want to get out of it?
I usually pay attention to steps and active minutes mostly. It also tracks sleep, HR, Resting HR, O2.

You kind of need to take all these devices as a general view. Not super accurate.

3. Mostly as a heart rate monitor....during exercise..maybe calories

Just search on amazon and you can see smart watch photos

7. The pink one with the big 23 over 30 and a lightning bolt meter.

Looks like active minutes over daily goal.

Some of the others like with the big 08 over 30 is just a goofy way of displaying time.

8. Did you look at the vitalfit?

I may try it when my current Fitbit dies.

4. I use to use a clicker to count laps.

Now I know how long it takes for an average miles. I can look at the time and know how far. Much easier.

5. Biggest numbers are usually the time

Steps, heart rate, pulse ox, etc are usually smaller numbers. The ad might not be localized, so the watch is set to a 24hr clock for their home market and they are just reusing it for here.

6. Makes sense...Thanks to all!

9. Actually it can.

Smart watches can display time in the 24 hour format.
