Wearable computer with fitness machine connectivity for improved activity monitoring

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable computer, cause the wearable computer to perform operations comprising:

• establishing, by the wearable computer, a wireless communication connection with a fitness machine;
• obtaining first machine data from the fitness machine, the first machine data specifying a type of the fitness machine;
• initiating a workout session on the wearable computer based on the first machine data;
• during the workout session:
• obtaining first sensor data generated by the wearable computer;
• obtaining second machine data from the fitness machine;
• determining a calibration factor based on the second machine data and the first sensor data;
• storing the calibration factor on the wearable computer;
• and
• scaling second sensor data generated by the wearable computer using the calibration factor to define first scaled sensor data;
• and
• generating a workout session summary based on the first scaled sensor data.
