I see that the HR Sport detect cycling activity but I am curious about how it does.

I read the article above and my understanding is that "Cycling" cannot be automatically detected. There are only selected activities that can automatically track by the watch. It was also mentioned there that that it can be manually add in the app.

Raven I can confirm you that the watch can detect automatically that you are cycling.

In health mate for each of these activities there is a "yes/no" confirmation question, so you can reject it.

In brief, Withings thorugh movements, wrist position,etc...can detect this activity.
