Active 2 Square: October 2025 Software Updates

The October 2025 update for the Active 2 Square introduces Advanced Running Dynamics and a convenient screenshot feature, along with system and performance upgrades that make everyday use even smoother.
 
Gain deeper insights into your running with metrics like Ground Contact Time and Vertical Oscillation to refine your form. And when you hit a new record—or just want to save a special moment—the button-activated screenshot makes it easy to capture and share instantly.

Advanced Running Dynamics
Advanced Running Dynamics, now available on the Active 2 Square, helps runners understand and improve their efficiency. Vertical Oscillation measures how much your upper body moves up and down with each stride. Keeping this number lower usually means you’re conserving energy and directing more power forward. Ground Contact Time tracks how long each foot stays on the ground when you run. Reducing contact time is often linked to quicker, lighter steps and improved running economy. Together, these metrics provide a detailed look at your form so you can adjust your stride, make your running smoother, and work toward stronger overall performance.

By pressing two buttons simultaneously, you can instantly save whatever’s on your screen—whether it’s a new personal best, a training milestone, or any moment worth remembering. This makes it simple to document and share your achievements, ensuring every highlight is only a touch away.
